The Indonesian island of Flores was struck by a magnitude 7.7 earthquake on Saturday, August 15. As of August 20, the earthquake has claimed at least 71 lives and has displaced approximately 60,000 people. The numbers are expected to rise further over the coming days, with strong aftershocks continuing, posing severe risks to people already vulnerable. Those who had to leave their homes are sheltering in makeshift evacuation camps under tarpaulins with limited access to safe drinking water, food, essential medicines and sanitation. Infrastructure has been badly affected by the earthquake, hampering aid deliveries on the ground: Power and phone connections remain unstable, roads are blocked by landslides and water supplies have been interrupted. 

The Dive Operators Collaboration Komodo (DOCK), an association of dive centers and liveaboard operators in Labuan Bajo, Flores, is partnering with 1000 Days Fund, a registered Indonesian Non-Profit Organisation with a proven track record in humanitarian aid, to deliver essential goods to the most affected regions.

1000 Days Fund is actively distributing critical relief in three of the hardest-hit regions across Flores: Sikka, East Manggarai, and West Manggarai. They are providing affected families with food supplies (rice, eggs), tents, blankets, sleeping mats, hygiene kits and other essential items. Another area of focus is psychological first aid, as many people have suffered severe emotional trauma from the earthquake and are being repeatedly re-traumatized by strong aftershocks occurring every few hours. In their aid efforts, 1000 Days Fund is putting a special focus on supporting pregnant women, mothers and newborns through these challenging times.

Thanks to institutional and long-standing donors, every donation towards 1000 Days Fund will be matched dollar by dollar up to US$100,000. This means: If you give 1 dollar today, 2 dollars will go towards the relief effort, doubling the impact of your donation.

Please stand with us to support our brothers and sisters across Flores through these challenging times.

Terima kasih.

Flores Earthquake Relief

We work in remote Indonesian villages to end childhood stunting by training community health workers.

Stunting is the most heartbreaking, yet avoidable crisis facing Indonesia today. Every day 5,000 children are born in Indonesia, and more than 30% of those children will lose up to 10 IQ points as a result of stunting and chronic malnutrition. The 1000 Days Fund was created as a bold approach to invent and test innovative, cost-effective solutions to help end stunting—a condition that affects 1 in 3 Indonesian children. Our mission is to end stunting by 2030. In our quest to improve maternal and newborn health, we partner with governments to build capacity, work closely with communities to deliver tools, train CHWs and advocate for national and grassroots policy change to address the root causes. Our growth charts are cost-effective, evidence-based, and endorsed by the Ministry of Health.

The 1000 Days Fund (legally known as "Yayasan Seribu Cita Bangsa") launched in 2019 as a bold approach to invent, test, and apply innovative, cost-effective solutions to help end stunting in Indonesia. The 1000 Days Fund is relentlessly committed to improving maternal and newborn health outcomes for the poor and marginalized. We partner with local governments to build the capacity of frontline health workers in impoverished communities to deliver high-quality maternal and newborn health care, address the root causes of stunting, and improve data aimed at evidence, advocacy, and policy change.

We are poised for scale. 

Meanwhile, our obsession with marrying tech and traditional in-home behavior change allows us to make data-driven decisions on a daily basis. With the help of 31 full-time staff and 11 Quality Assurance Coordinators collecting data across more than 100 sub-districts, we unlock the power of data with interactive dashboards and reports that inspire smarter decisions. Against this backdrop, our in-house team of senior management and health economists undertake systematic and rigorous examination of data to address issues such as ROI and opportunity costs.
