Jakarta is Indonesia's capital and the largest city with some 10 million residents crowding an area of just about 660 sq km. Jakarta serves as the center of the country's government, commerce, and industry. As a province, Jakarta is divided into five mayoralties.

World Vision supported several orphanages in Jakarta back in 1980s. The program in Jakarta was ended in early 1990s in line with the government's direction to help the least developed areas in eastern Indonesia.

However, as the 1997-1999 economic crises severely hit urban people, World Vision reopened its Jakarta intervention with emergency and rehabilitation programs, which was soon followed by long-term and integrated community development projects. In 2008, World Vision supported poor communities in Cipinang Melayu, Kebon Pala, Cawang, Makasar, Jatinegara and Cilincing. World Vision has also facilitated the operations of a micro-finance institution to support small businesses.

Surabaya is the capital of East Java province and the second-largest city in the country. It is the home for approximately four million people. It has rapidly grown as a major industrial center and port.

Surabaya was among the first areas served by World Vision when supports were extended to orphanage children there in 1960. In 1980s, World Vision ended the support and only returned following the 1997-98 economic crisis. The initial support was through a massive emergency relief response to urban poor hardest-hit by the crisis. Soon afterwards, World Vision started opening two major longer-term community development programs in the city to support urban communities.

Like many big cities in developing countries, Jakarta and Surabaya face major urbanization problems. The population rapidly rises as many poor rural people swarm into the cities to earn a living. The rapid population growth has outgrown the government's ability to provide basic services. Many poor people end up living in slum areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. Thousands of people live in makeshift shacks built along the riverbanks or railway tracks. There is a stark gap between the rich and the poor. Unemployment, malnutrition, crimes and flooding are among the main problems faced by many urban poor.
