Sustaining Communities through Water, Ecosystem, and Climate Action

In 2025, Daya Pertiwi Foundation (DPF) continued its long-standing mission to empower communities and restore ecosystems through concrete field programs, private-sector collaboration, and scientific ecosystem surveys.
Despite global funding shifts, DPF remains firmly committed to promoting community-based climate resilience and green economy innovation across Indonesia.

 Clean Water for Deli Serdang — CSR Partnership with Yamaha

Together with Yamaha Motor Nuansa Indonesia (YMNI), DPF successfully implemented the Yamaha Clean Water Supply System at SDN 101846 Kutalimbaru, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra.
The program provides sustainable access to clean water for the local community and includes educational and social activities — from Khamishibai storytelling on water hygiene, safety riding classes, to school improvements and community health checks.
This partnership reflects Yamaha’s philosophy of giving back to society and DPF’s expertise in eco-based, community-led development.

 Eco-Based Water Purification Project 2026 – Karangasem, Bali

In 2025, DPF conducted a comprehensive water and ecosystem survey in Desa Purwakerthi, Karangasem Regency — covering five sub-villages: Br Lebah, Amed, Babakan, Biaslantang Kaler, and Biaslantang Kelod.
Residents face severe drinking water scarcity, relying on limited storage tanks and having to purchase bottled water, which places a heavy economic burden. During the rainy season, the water often becomes muddy and unsafe.

Amed, known for its tourism potential, offers a great opportunity for an Eco-Based Water Purification Project — providing clean, safe drinking water that will enhance public health, reduce economic vulnerability, and support sustainable tourism.
DPF aims to implement this community-based clean water system in 2026 as a model of eco-health innovation for rural tourism areas in Indonesia.

 Ecosystem and Socio-Economic Survey in Bali

DPF also carried out an ecosystem and socio-economic survey focusing on:
Karangasem Regency — a dry region with high poverty levels, similar to Nusa Penida in the 1990s, yet rich with potential for green economic transformation.
Tabanan Regency — experiencing rapid conversion of agricultural lands to non-farming uses.

The survey revealed Bali’s growing ecological crisis: plastic pollution, water scarcity, coral reef damage, land degradation, and the erosion of cultural balance due to uncontrolled tourism.
DPF advocates for a paradigm shift — from tourism-driven growth to ecosystem-based, climate-resilient, and inclusive economic development.

 The Way Forward: Community-Based Climate Resilience and Green Economy

Building on these studies, DPF is preparing the Community-Based Climate Resilience and Green Economy Project to be implemented in Karangasem and Tabanan.
The initiative will:

• Strengthen community livelihoods through climate-smart forestry and agro-based enterprises.
• Empower women and youth in eco-tourism and creative industries.
• Promote zero-emission business models aligned with the SDGs.

DPF welcomes collaboration from donors, impact investors, and CSR partners to co-create long-term green impact through science, participation, and sustainable finance.
