Illness often begins long before someone arrives at the hospital. Our campaigns on smoking, waste management, alcohol, and sexual health display straightforward messages across schools and village walls in local languages. Through simple posters, talks, and games, we help protect thousands of children.

Climate Change and Health in Rural Indonesia
Climate change does not arrive as a concept in the villages where we work. It arrives as fever, diarrhoea, breathless farmers and dry wells. Each new reservoir, each trained health agent and each malaria test is a practical answer to a crisis that reshapes daily life.
