YTBI
Yayasan Tanggul Bencana di Indonesia (YTBI) is a humanitarian servicing apparatus of churches in Indonesia. Historically it is a continuation of YTB, established by Communion of Churches in Indonesia (CCI) in 1991.
In giving shape to its summons, YTBI does not keep fellow person any distinction of the creed, ethnicity, race, gender, age and social stratification. Fellow persons to YTBI are people of the community who became victims of natural and man-made disasters.
As an autonomous and independent institution, YTBI has been a partner to all who are willing to work together in suppressing hardship of human beings in distress as consequence of natural disasters and man-made disasters. YTBI is sensitive and giving the highest priority to handle the susceptible groups of victimisation of disaster, such as children, women and other fragile groups of the community.
