Emergency Response to Indonesia Lombok Island Earthquake: Delivering safe water to villagers by rebuilding the water supply network

After the earthquake hit Lombok Island in Indonesia last August, Peace Winds Japan (PWJ), a JPF member NGO, has been working with a local partner organization to rebuild a water supply network in the Sembalun Subdistrict, located in the northeast area of Lombok Island, with funding from JPF.
PWJ has been supplying water using water trucks in the abovementioned region. However, as water trucks are not a sustainable solution, they decided to rebuild the water supply network itself. Their plan was to dig wells in villages located at a higher altitude compared to the village they were trying to assist, run a pipe from those wells to the target village, and install concrete tanks to store the water. They began building water tanks in April and deep wells in May.
We hope that the villagers will gain access to safe water through this program.

Emergency Response to Indonesia Lombok Island Earthquake: JPF Member NGO Peace Winds Japan Continuing Water Assistance

25th April 2019 19:30

As a JPF grant project, JPF member NGO Peace Winds Japan (PWJ) has been working with a local partner organization since the earthquake occurred last August to restore access to clean water in Sembalun county in the northeastern part of Lombok Island, Indonesia.

On the afternoon of 17th March, additional earthquakes surpassing magnitude 5 struck Lombok Island. According to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), magnitude-5.8 and magnitude-5.2 earthquakes occurred one after another, causing great damages across a wide region on the island, including 6 casualties and 25 injuries in the north and over 800 homes partially or fully damaged in the east.

There are concerns that needs for water would increase due to water supply being cut off as a result of these recent earthquakes. We expect that this project, whose objective is to have more stable supply of safe drinking water for the community, will have even greater significance.

Emergency Response to Indonesia Lombok Island Earthquake: JPF Member NGO Radio FMYY Continuing Management Support of Radio Station

9th February 2019 22:00

As a JPF grant project, JPF member NGO Radio FMYY (FMYY) is continuing its assistance for starting and managing radio stations in the areas affected by the earthquake.

Since adequate information was not provided in enough volume from the local government and relief providers right after the disaster struck, chaos ensued as rumors spread. The earthquake that happened unexpectedly has left its impact in the region and various pieces of information are circulating. Given these circumstance, in order to help those affected by this disaster to access as accurate information as possible, this project helped start radio stations in the local community that can provide various information to the residents including the state of relief and damages in the region.
