ACT Foundation

ACT was established in 2005 as an official and independent institution. The programs that we handled have developed beyond natural disaster, but also focus on social disaster or humanitarian disaster. These included malnutrition, famine, children, health and sanitation issues, education, economy empowerment, community development, and also social conflict.

With our vision to become a pioneer for awakening compassion souls with volunteerism basis towards society independence, ACT always brings up the values of Compassion, Volunteerism, and Society Independence in every single project that we do.

ACT is independent, objectively neutral, non-discriminative, transparent, and accountable. Therefore, ACT doesn’t distinguish ethnicity, race, religion, or party when performing its programs domestically and also internationally.

ACT’s programs funding came from public donation and company’s Corporate Social Responsibility’s (CSR) fund, which utilization will be audited by public accountant as a form of transparency to stakeholders.

To reach beneficiaries spread to the most remote areas, ACT in executing its programs developed local volunteer network under the banner of Masyarakat Relawan Indonesia (MRI – Indonesian Volunteer Society. The existence of MRI makes the execution of ACT’s programs more efficient and effective.

ACT also established Disaster Management Institute of Indonesia (DMII) which is a centre of references from all of ACT’s knowledge and experiences in managing disaster. DMII gives disaster and emergency training to multiple companies, school, government and public institutions. DMII focuses in socialization of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). DMII has also formulated Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) for disaster and emergency management, and also becomes consultant for disaster education centers.
