Join Together Women Rise for a sweeping and immersive journey to three different Indonesian islands, where you will visit and interact with two organizations that Rise has supported: Health in Harmony (HIH) in partnership with Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI), and Bumi Sehat Foundation.

Begin your journey on the island of Java, then travel to the Indonesian side of Borneo to engage with Health in Harmony, an international nonprofit dedicated to supporting the inherent connection between human and environmental health. They partner closely with ASRI, which works to preserve the forests on the island, currently experiencing some of the world’s most destructive deforestation.

End your trip on the lush, relaxing island of Bali, where spirituality is omnipresent. Visit the community health centers run by Bumi Sehat Foundation, which infuses spirituality in their work to deliver safe, kind, hygienic, natural, culturally appropriate reproductive healthcare as a human right.

Highlights

• Engage directly with two of Rise’s partners and see firsthand how our support has impacted gender equality for Indonesian women, especially in remote, rural areas.
