Om Rob and Bibi Punky on the way from Jakarta to Bali in 2020
Indonesia is among the richest and happiest countries.
Yet it continues to face severe challenges.
18 million lack access to safe water.
10% are poor and live even below the National poverty line.
Unbalanced nutrition, lack of fitness and uncontrolled waste disposal result in a shortage of healthy environments.
These are the leading contributors to high rates in coronary heart diseases, strokes, cancer and respiratory failure.
Significant opportunities to improve lives.
It might take a while.
Let change begin when minds are still flexible.
The youngest generation.
– it’s about their future.
Your donation makes a difference.
Thank you!

Water4Sumba II
December 2023
After the successful intervention by Om Rob and Bibi Punky in 2021, delivering 1 million liter of clean drinking water to East Sumba they continue their program in 2023.
This region of Indonesia suffers from regular droughts. Especially children are most effected by malnutrition and a lack of sanitation.
Besides drilling of permanent wells in worst hit villages we also help to install public facilities for shower, wash and toilets (MCK).
This year we also plan to deliver school supplies to children in Flores.

In April we will cycle again to Semarang in Central Java to revisit and support the Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia (YKAKI) for children suffering from cancer.
December 2023
The Citarum river east of Jakarta is the world’s most polluted river. Second is the Ganges in India.
More than 90% of the trash which ends up in the river and finally in the ocean comprises plastic waste.
Om Rob and Bibi Punky cycle to elementary schools located in the CITARUM river basin. They hand out to the pupils bags with shirts and infos on how to reduce the use of plastic and to properly dispose it.
Additionally Om Rob and Bibi Punky hand out essential school supplies to the children.
