Indonesia

Indonesia endured six disasters in 2022, from earthquakes and floods to volcanic eruptions and the ongoing effects of COVID-19.

Especially tragic was the Cianjur earthquake, which killed more than 300 people, many of whom were children. The earthquake displaced over 61,000 people in Indonesia, causing a multiplication of needs for vulnerable families left without housing and other necessities. Additionally, flooding took a toll on over 2,000 people.

World Vision teams made quick work to reach over 3,000 people within a month following the earthquake, providing emergency supplies to those affected, including hygiene kits, tents, and personal protective equipment. We also distributed over 16,000 liters of clean water to people impacted by floods. Infants and children under 5 received much-needed nutrition from a World Vision–initiated kitchen serving vulnerable families. Our teams also supplied educational and mental health resources to children through Child-Friendly Spaces as part of our disaster responses work. Throughout the country, over 456,000 people, including 170,000 children, were impacted in 2022 through World Vision programs in the areas of health, education, child protection, emergency response, and more.
