Mission

Harapan Baru consists of two collaborating foundations:

• Foundation (yayasan) Harapan Baru Lombok Indonesia (HBLI)
• Foundation Harapan Baru Aalten Netherlands (HBAN)

.

Both foundations were established to support the underprivileged in Lombok by creating opportunities for a promising future that they can shape themselves. The people are guided toward self-sufficiency, allowing them to gain more control over their lives.

Harapan Baru means “New Hope”. This is what the Harapan Baru foundation aims to offer the people of Lombok: hope for a new, better future.

Harapan Baru Lombok Indonesia gives people living with disabilities and/or in extreme poverty the chance to participate in society. Through projects that contribute to education, awareness, vocational and life skills, and employment, these individuals are guided to start their own micro-enterprises. In this way, they can take control of their lives and realize their dreams.

In addition, efforts are made to develop village communities by setting up water projects, building eco-brick structures, and encouraging young people to contribute to their community.

Harapan Baru also provides emergency aid during natural disasters. In this case, too, the involvement of the local population is a prerequisite for receiving assistance.

To support the work of Harapan Baru Lombok Indonesia, Harapan Baru Aalten Netherlands raises funds by organizing activities and reaching out to donors. Additionally, Harapan Baru Aalten Netherlands raises awareness about the work of Harapan Baru Lombok Indonesia to gain more recognition.

Vision

The goal of Foundation (yayasan) Harapan Baru is to ensure that all people in Lombok can fully participate in society as equal citizens. The foundation helps those living in disadvantaged situations due to poverty and/or disabilities because there is little to no government support or guidance for this group of people (especially young adults).
