AmCham NGO Networking Spotlights Education and Health
Oct 05, 2020 | AmCham Indonesia

Our 2020 Partners Networking Evening on Sept 30 – before our US election discussion – gave the stage to six NGOs focusing on health and education in Indonesia; it was held in collaboration with our Education and Workforce Development and Corporate Citizenship Committees.

Nearly 80 attendees heard how the six NGOs work to improve and empower the lives of Indonesian women, children and families through education, financial, social change and healthcare initiatives in the midst of the pandemic.

  • ASA Foundation is an education and empowerment NGO working directly through local schools and community-based projects to develop sustainable social impact programs for vulnerable youth and adults.
