Earthquake in Indonesia

February 2020 - Indonesia. Following heavy floods in Western Java, Mercy Corps Indonesia responded with a variety of projects, including distribution of cleaning kits and other NFIs and the construction of water points to provide fresh water to communities in the Lebak Regency of Banten Province.

Welcome to the team (Selamat Datang di tim)

A magnitude 5.6 earthquake has struck the most populated island in Indonesia, killing more than 300 people, displacing over 73,000 from their homes, and triggering landslides. We’re activating a response to deliver supplies to those who need help most and to support communities as they begin to recover.

Gather supplies

Challenge one

The earthquake damaged or destroyed over 60,000 homes, what can we bring to help?

Try again

Drag an item that can help to the backpack

Food

Food kits provide families with nutritious meals during the food shortage.

Shelter

With durable tents, people have shelter while their communities work to rebuild.

Cash Card

Cash assistance helps people quickly meet their needs while supporting local economies.

Solar Lanterns

Living in the dark hinders safe navigation at home and in the neighborhood. Solar lanterns enhance safety now and build resilience for future emergencies. They also double as phone chargers.

Clean Water

Trucking in water, digging new boreholes, and repairing water points provide access to clean water quickly.

Hygiene Supplies

Soap, dental hygiene kits, feminine products, and toileting supplies ensure communities maintain healthy sanitation conditions.
