23.01.2022 NTA International Women’s Day Appeal NTA has been successfully supporting women in Eastern Indonesia for the past 30 years. This year, our International Women’s Day (IWD) appeal aims to raise funds for our ikat weaving project. We support women in Flores to increase their income through weaving. Specifically, we provide training on natural dyeing, access to online markets, and facilitate product diversification. After a successful pilot project, the trainings have now be...en expanded to include more weaving groups. Help these talented women in Eastern Indonesia by donating here: https://www.givenow.com.au/ikat We hope to raise $2,500 by Sunday, 14 March, for our 2021 IWD initiative. #ChooseToChallenge #IWD2021

22.01.2022 When Colin Barlow and Ria Gondowarsito worked together on a report on poverty in Eastern Indonesia in the late 1980s, they didn’t know that it would lead to lov...e, and become their life’s work. Over the subsequent thirty years, the Nusatenggara Association (commonly known as NTA East Indonesia Aid) has made a real difference to some of Indonesia’s poorest and most drought-prone communities.

18.01.2022 NTA: East Indonesia Aid is deeply saddened to hear about the recent disasters caused by torrential rains in NTT. We have also lost connection with our team in Indonesia, but expect this to only be temporary. We are praying for a smooth recovery, and send our deepest condolences to all those affected by the mudslides and flooding. ***UPDATE***: NTA: East Indonesia Aid is now able to reach our staff in Kupang and Sikka. They are safe and sound. However, communication is still limited due to large-scale power outages but we are grateful for the good news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgyTJbMQYcU
