Building Resilience Replication in West Sumatera

We think people in Indonesia
should fend for themselves. That’s why, over the last three years, we’ve been
scaling up our ‘Building Resilience’ programme. Working closely with the country
government, as well as civil society and community action groups, we’re coordinating
our efforts to ensure the people of Indonesia are better prepared to cope with whatever
nature throws at them. It’s a huge challenge - this is a part of the world
that’s particularly prone to natural disasters. But we’ve already made
tremendous headway. Currently, we are going to implement Building resilience
replication in West Sumatera. And with your help, we’ll bring greater peace of
mind and security to those who live in the region.
