Our goal is to improve the
quality of life for Indonesians by concentrating on these five
critical areas.

Nutrition: Proper
nutrition is essential in order to have the energy to participate
and flourish in daily life. The home-grown rice, fruits and
vegetables that each family will grow will reduce malnutrition.
Micro credit extended to families in order to raise chickens and
goats will contribute protein to diets.
Health: Using the well-tested, successful
concept of mobile clinics staffed with doctors, nurses and supplies,
IAF will provide villagers in remote areas with diagnosis and
treatment for their medical problems.
Livelihood: To improve the ability of
Indonesians to make a living and support their families, IAF will
develop small-scale, vocational home businesses. Micro credit
will be used to extend initial help and co-ops will encourage local
participation and cooperation. An important and exciting concept for
intensive rice gardening will enable farmers to grow enough
rice for a family of 6 on 500 square meters (905 square feet.) Once
a family has enough rice to eat, they can be taught how to raise
fruits and vegetables to sell on the open market.
Education: Schools in Indonesia are in a sad
state. Books are always desperately needed. Many of the buildings
are in disrepair and need to be rebuilt or need new roofs to keep
out the rain. Also important is teaching children the life skills
they need in order to lead a poverty-free life. Teaching children
the fundamentals of gardening and raising small animals can
break the cycle of poverty.
Housing: Low cost and affordable housing is
essential in a country where over 5,000 lives were lost to building
collapse during an earthquake. Unfortunately, these types of
devastating losses are not unusual. 1.7 Million refugees need
immediate housing . IAF is on the cutting edge of innovation with
a patented design for earthquake-proof housing.
Construction/rehabilitation of orphanages, drinking wells, roads and
irrigation systems are also part of the mission of IAF.
