Indonesia is in the middle of the worst COVID-19 crisis in the world. 

In recent weeks, Indonesia has become the epicentre for COVID-19 infections and deaths with daily figures outstripping those of countries such as India and Brazil.

The country is being devastated by the highly transmissible Delta variant. With daily infection rates nearing 50,000 and daily deaths of over 1,500; the Delta variant is tearing through the country as health facilities are overwhelmed and unable to cope.

While official numbers are devastatingly high, actual numbers are likely far worse with low testing rates and hundreds of infections and even deaths going unreported. Communities are struggling to bury their loved ones.

Health facilities are buckling under the pressure

Makeshift tents being erected to accommodate some, but many others being turned away. Those self-isolating at home are struggling to access life-saving oxygen, with even hospitals grappling to access the supplies they

🍞 Basic essentials to enable people to self-isolate. Many in poorer communities have no choice but to leave their homes to survive. By giving the poorest members of our communities the food and medical supplies they need, we can make self-isolation a reality

🚺 Support for the elderly and women, who are amongst those most affected by the pandemic. The loss of family livelihoods, and the devastating impact of COVID on those who are elderly or pregnant is destroying the lives of hundreds. Your donations can provide basic essentials to help people survive

🧸 Support for orphans. Children are dying of COVID in Indonesia and so are their parents. The community organisations in our networks are working to identify and support orphans whose needs might otherwise be forgotten as the scale of the pandemic increases. By providing children with the basic necessities they need to survive, together we can help to protect them

😷 Provide masks, PPE and other basic equipment, including oxygen tanks. Indonesian hospitals are crying out for support to be able to help those most in need. Our networks are actively providing this support as we speak. Let’s build their capacity, build their supplies, to make their good work go further

🤲 Burial funds. Give peace of mind to those left behind by enabling the burial of a loved one. Volunteers are working night and day to wash and bury those who have died with the respect and dignity they deserve. Your donation can ease that burden by building up supplies and the number of people who can help

Who we are & how we can help

The AIMEP is a network of highly committed and engaged community leaders from Indonesia and Australia that has been growing for 10+ years. Our Indonesian members span a range of community organisations and affiliations with decades of experience and local knowledge between them.

This campaign is being organised by our members. Australian AIMEP leaders have stepped up to support their Indonesian brothers and sisters in this time of need. The networks we are connected to are amongst the most established and well-organised in the country. We need you to help make their work possible.

In conjunction with key Indonesian stakeholders, including the national Muhammadiyah COVID-19 Command Centre, this campaign will work with trusted Indonesian organisations to provide support where it is needed most.
