Home > Our Work > Where We Work > Central Sulawesi & North Maluku Region

Central Sulawesi province is situated in the heart of Sulawesi Island. About two million people live in the province, which covers an area of some 68,000 sq km. The province is divided into nine districts and one municipality.  

In 1970-80s, World Vision provided support to children and communities in several villages in Central Sulawesi through small-scale projects. In the middle of 1990s, World Vision opened more comprehensive community development projects in Luwuk-Banggai and Poso districts to facilitate more lasting impacts in improving the welfare of the people.

North Maluku is the province in northern part of the Maluku Islands that cover area of over 160,000 sq km. The population is slightly less than one million people, making it the least populous province in Indonesia.

World Vision opened a community development program in Halmahera Island in late 1990s, but the project was closed down due to fierce communal conflict in 2000. As hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, World Vision quickly channeled food and non-food aid to the displaced on Ternate and Halmahera islands. World Vision also provided materials for the community to build over 6,000 temporary houses and scores of public facilities, and distribute equipment to support their livelihood.

World Vision also facilitated reconciliation dialogs and advocacy and provided training for teachers to improve the quality of education. World Vision has opened two major community development programs - in Ternate and North Halmahera areas - to further facilitate the community to improve their welfare.

Central Sulawesi and North Maluku are recovering from the devastating communal conflict. They are in the process of accelerating the development of their community. To help support the development process, World Vision have pledged to further intensify its support for the poor community in the two provinces so that children, families, and communities in the respective areas would be able to embrace more meaningful lives in the future.
