We are the Meratus
A resident in Paramasan Village has been dreaming of owning a modern house for his wife and two children but lacked the means to realize his vision. Well, he can now smile after Yayasan Dangsanak Kita reconstructed a house for this vulnerable family.
The founder of Yayasan Dangsanak Kita/YDK as well as a lecturer at FEBI UIN Antasari, Prof Fauzi Aseri said this is one of houses that YDK is currently reconstructing in different parts of the region for the disadvantaged families, which focuses mainly on supporting community development through such human security activities. These are fruits of partnership between YDK and Pendidikan Asas Daru Ashomiddin (PADA) Service Singapura, UIN Antasari, and other parties.
Since 2004 an ambitious health and social development program is being implemented in Pegunungan Meratus. Building on previous efforts, an alliance of local communities, organisations, experts and government representatives is working with Yayasan Dangsanak Kita to build resilience and implement social-religious solutions.
