The Problem We Try To Solve

Indonesia’s agricultural sector, a vital engine of the national economy (accounting for 13.7% of GDP in 2020 through agricultural production), is grappling with significant challenges.

1. At Home

Lack of access to clean water & sanitation (WASH) leads to health problems and reduces productivity.

2. In the Field

Lack of access to clean water & sanitation (WASH) leads to health problems and reduces productivity.

3. The Women

Unequal access to resources and lack of business skills restrict women’s economic empowerment & their ability to contribute to sustainable practices.

These issues disproportionately affecting farming communities, hindering their well-being, productivity, & environmental stewardship.

The Realities of Indonesian Farming Communities

57% of rural Indonesia lacks access to safe drinking water.

Each year, Indonesia loses 3.4 million years of healthy life due to diarrheal diseases, often because farmers use contaminated water from rain, rivers, or wells. [Ekwaru et al., 2019].

40% of agricultural labor in Indonesia are women.

With that much of potential, a study found that women farmers were less likely than men to receive training on entrepreneurial skills. [Gillespie et al., 2018]

80% of Indonesia's water scarcity is due to irrigation.

Indonesian agriculture struggles with not just water scarcity but also poor land management and overuse of pesticides, which reduce yields. Additionally, soil erosion on slopes poses a significant threat to farmland. [Lasmini et al., 2019]
