Host Organization

DEJAVATO Foundation is an Indonesian organization working for peace, international understanding and solidarity, education, social sustainable development and respect to the culture and environment through international voluntary work, educational and cultural activities. It was established in June 15th, 2005 as a response to a lack of education and social welfare all over Indonesia. Following a prolonged economical crisis and severe governmental budgetary cuts in the field of education, its founders realized the importance of initiating private and community activities, which could fill the gap left by the governmental sector, and decided to do so through the establishment of voluntary service activities, scholarship programmes and health care provision.
