Life with Sembarita

In their own words

"I didn't expect anyone to still want me after what happened. Sembarita didn't ask me to explain myself. They just asked: what are you good at?"

— Caca, Rumah Baca Social Reinclusion Intern, Jakarta

"Most organisations bring resources. Sembarita brought people. Real people with creativity who are willing to build something together."

— Charles, Founder, Rumah Ruth Pregnancy Home

"Coming to Perjumpaan Bermakna each month reminded me that I still had something to give, even in the middle of my own hardest season."

— Gathering participant, Bandung

"Working at Chanaya is the first job I've had where they asked about my future, not just my output."

— Chanaya Resort team member
