About Project:

As part of its emergency response mandate, Wahana Visi Indonesia (WVI) is implementing the Flores Earthquake Emergency Response (FOSTER) project to support children, families, and communities affected by the magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck Flores, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), on 15 August 2026. The earthquake caused significant impacts across multiple regencies, including damage to homes, schools, health facilities, water systems, and community infrastructure, resulting in displacement and increased humanitarian needs among affected populations.

The FOSTER project is a multi-sector emergency response and early recovery intervention implemented across affected areas in Flores. The project focuses on addressing immediate humanitarian needs while supporting community recovery and resilience. Priority interventions include Child Protection and Psychosocial Support (CP/PSS), Education in Emergencies, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Nutrition and Health, Shelter assistance, Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA), and livelihood recovery support. Particular attention is given to vulnerable groups, including children, pregnant and lactating women, persons with disabilities, elderly people, and households experiencing severe impacts from the earthquake.

Through close collaboration with local government authorities, community leaders, churches, schools, health facilities, and humanitarian partners, the project aims to restore access to essential services, strengthen community-based protection mechanisms, support learning continuity, improve access to safe water and sanitation, and enable affected households to recover their livelihoods.
