Indonesia
In Indonesia, CWS is a trusted partner to refugee and vulnerable communities—offering safety, dignity and a chance to rebuild.
Together with local partners, we provide safe shelter for unaccompanied refugee children and at-risk girls and women, creating spaces where healing can begin. We expand access to healthcare and counseling, ensuring that those who have endured trauma receive the care they need to recover and thrive.
We’re also investing in the future by working hand-in-hand with refugee-led organizations to amplify the voices of people seeking safety, support their leadership and build long-term resilience from the ground up.
Through these partnerships, CWS continues to walk alongside displaced communities in Indonesia—offering relief and a pathway to a more hopeful future.
