🏢 About the local organisation
IIWC of PKBI is acronym of Indonesia International
Work Camp of Perkumpulan Keluarga Berencana
Indonesia (Eng: Indonesia Planned Parenthood
Association/IPPA). Informally, IIWC of PKBI was
formed in September 1999 by PKBI Central Java when
held the first work camp in Mijen, Semarang
Residence incorporate with NICE, a work camp
organization from Japan.
Seeing the success and positive result of the first work
camp, NICE suggested IPPA to form a work camp
organization. The suggestion was followed by an
invitation for NVDA (Network for Voluntary
Development in Asia) meeting in Hanoi Vietnam at 9 -
22 January 2000. In this meeting, we discussed how to
run a work camp and everything about it. Since then,
IIWC of PKBI was born and has been organizing more
than 30 international and bilateral work camps per
year in Indonesia and many other international
voluntary services with hundreds of either local or
international volunteers involved. As IVS pioneer in
Indonesia, IIWC of PKBI now days is expanding
impact toward society with tagline 'Empowering
Communities'
