Happy Hearts Indonesia (HHI) is a non-profit organization that envisions every child in Indonesia having access to education by attending safe and earthquake-resistant schools.
HHI began its mission of rebuilding schools in Yogyakarta following the devastating earthquake of 2006. We constructed over 30 schools during that time. In 2013, HHI expanded its reach by establishing its first international chapter in Indonesia, supporting the reconstruction of schools affected by natural disasters. Moreover, HHI actively reaches out to underprivileged communities to provide them with access to proper education.
In 2018, recognizing the urgent need for quality education and aiming to combat poverty, HHI extended its support to the islands of East Nusa Tenggara (Sumba, Flores, and Timor). Our assessment revealed that schools in these regions were in unsafe conditions, lacking basic amenities such as toilets, sanitary facilities, furniture, and educational materials. Consequently, our focus shifted towards empowering more children in East Nusa Tenggara through the #IAMCHANGE campaign, granting them access to better education.
