Neba (Nederland-Batam foundation)

The Nederland-Batam foundation (Neba) is a small Dutch-based development aid organization. Since 1987 the foundation offers social and medical aid to underprivileged people in Indonesia. We do so because we think that everybody is entitled to an independent and humane life and good quality healthcare and socio-economic development of underprivileged are essential to achieve this.

The Nederland-Batam foundation aims to contribute to the independence and self-reliance of underprivileged so that they can shape their own lives and achieve their human rights. And because independence and self-reliance are our core-values Neba realizes its activities through cooperation with local Indonesian organizations.

Neba is active in 3 main areas in Indonesia; Batam and surrounding islands, the Jakarta/Bandung area on Java island and the province of North-Sulawesi.

On Batam we support HIV/AIDS and maternal health related projects. In the Jakarta/Bandung area we support a maternal health hospital, a school for handicapped children, a kidney hospital and a shelter for streetchildren. And in North-Sulawesi we support basic and maternal healthcare, community-development and HIV training and other HIV/AIDS related projects.
