Java Village Foundation to Cease Activities
After many years of dedication and meaningful engagement, the Java Village Foundation will officially cease its activities as of 1 November 2025 and proceed with the dissolution of the foundation.
This decision was made by the board after careful consideration. During the dissolution phase, all outstanding obligations will be settled, and any remaining assets will be allocated, according to the foundation’s statutes, to a purpose aligned with our original mission.
Our activities and resources will be transferred to a foundation in formation in Indonesia, ensuring continuity of purpose and local impact.
We thank all supporters, volunteers, and partners for their trust and commitment throughout the years.
