IDEP Foundation
Manifesting community resilience through Permaculture in economy, environment, disaster, sociocultural, health, education sectors
Imagine a world where villages are resilient, self-sustaining, and deeply connected to the land. This vision drives our work at the IDEP Foundation. Since 1999, we’ve been transforming communities across Indonesia, helping them stand strong against economic, environmental, and social challenges. From the islands of Indonesia to countries like Pakistan and the Philippines, IDEP’s proven approach strengthens local communities through Permaculture-based resilience.
Today, our mission is more critical than ever. Through our Strategic Plan, we’re developing Resilient Villages—holistic, sustainable communities equipped to protect their environment, preserve their culture, and secure livelihoods for generations to come—in six critical areas:
- Economic Stability: We boost local income, reduce household costs, and champion diverse economic opportunities that sustain families.
- Environmental Stewardship: From fighting deforestation to managing water resources, we work with communities to protect the ecosystems they rely on.
- Social & Cultural Empowerment: We strengthen community bonds, preserve cultural heritage, and support local leadership.
- Disaster Preparedness: We equip villages to anticipate, withstand, and recover from natural disasters, minimizing loss and speeding recovery.
- Education for Resilience: We enrich education with environmental and disaster preparedness skills that empower the next generation.
- Public Health & Well-being: We improve community health through access to healthcare and preventive health education.
Our Resilient Village model uses Permaculture zoning to guide change from within, starting at the family level and scaling across the village. Every initiative is evaluated at three levels—Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced—ensuring each community moves toward lasting, sustainable resilience.

Empower Single Mothers in Bali: From Surviving to Thriving
Behind Bali’s captivating beauty and vibrant tourism lies a quiet reality—many single mothers are struggling to survive. Left to raise their children alone, they rely on unstable, low-paid informal jobs without access to health protection, job security, or emotional support. Earning as little as Rp1–1.5 million per month, they must stretch every rupiah to meet their families' needs. Worse yet, they face deep social stigma that isolates them, compounding their economic and emotional vulnerability. Empower Single Mothers offers a way forward. This initiative provides tailored Permaculture-based skills training, micro business support, access to markets, and intensive business mentoring. Just as importantly, it offers emotional support through peer groups, professional counseling, and local referral systems—ensuring that empowerment touches both economic stability and mental well-being. In just a few months, many women begin earning income, gaining confidence, and building stronger support networks. Yet many mothers are still waiting for their chance—held back not by lack of will, but by lack of resources. Your support can help unlock their potential. With your contribution, a single mother can start a small business, find emotional healing, and create a better future for her children. In return, you'll receive real stories and updates about the lives you've changed—proof that your kindness has not only empowered a mother, but helped shape the future of a whole generation.
