Shared Prosperity in a Changing World

The vision of Social Justice Leaders who help their surroundings become more prosperous, just and equitable has been the constant driving force of the IFP Program. Time has flown since the departure of our first group of IFP Indonesia Fellows in 2003 and this year we already have 168 alumni spread out in Indonesia working to fulfill their commitment in realizing that vision.

Indonesia will be enriched by their experience and their leadership. Their efforts to improve the lives of those they touch will be the beginning of a better Indonesia. Congratulations for this initial of the first one hundred IFP Indonesia Alumni Profiles. There will be more to come.

Through reading their stories, the program’s soul of opening access to the underserved and the underrepresented will continue beyond the program. One day at a time, one person at a time, we will continue until we reach the ideal world of justice and prosperity for all.
