The Smile We Bring
Through community-based preschools and early childhood development programs, we help children learn, grow, and thrive in safe, nurturing, and joyful environments while supporting teachers, parents, and communities to build stronger foundations for every child’s future.
Nurturing Mothers, Raising Futures
Program BUNDA (Bersama Mendukung Ibu Sehat dan Bahagia) is a psychosocial support, bringing mental health care to mothers in underserved and climate-affected communities across eastern Indonesia.
25 Years of Impact
Foundation for Mother and Child Health Indonesia or locally known as Yayasan Balita Sehat Indonesia was established since 2001. We work to improve the health and wellbeing of mothers and children in Indonesia. Our mission is to create awareness world where every mother is able to receive the knowledge and support she needs for her children to reach their full potential. Read more..
In collaboration with
Hard Facts

- Approximately 1 in 5 women (20%) experience a mental health condition during pregnancy or within the first year after childbirth. Among these women, 20% report suicidal thoughts or engage in self-harm behaviors (WHO, 2022)
- In Indonesia, approximately 31% of children under five were stunted in 2023 (WFP USA, 2024)
- Globally, approximately 1 in 5 women experience mental health problems during pregnancy or after childbirth, with rate higher in low-resources and crisis-affected settings.
Our Programs
Education
We support families in underserved urban communities in Indonesia by providing quality early childhood education. Our one-year preschool program integrates health education with the national curriculum. We apply a Holistic-Integrative Early Childhood Development approach that promotes health, parenting, child protection, and environmental education, while raising awareness of climate change and its impact on young children.
Pre-school program (PAUD), Mobile Library (Mobil Pintar)

Mental Health: BUNDA Program, Stronger Together.
Health Education: Health Education Session for Mothers, Days For Girls, Nutrition Improvement, Pregnancy Care, HER Health Project, Training for Community Health Workers
Income Generating Skills
Family economic status influences children's nutrition status indirectly. Thus, we nurture family in our communities with skill training such as sewing and handicraft skill. We want them to have sustainable livelihood with their own skill. Read more

Mainan bisa usang dan terlupakan, tapi perasaan aman saat ditemani bermain akan menetap selamanya. 🤍✨
Secara psikologi perkembangan, saat kita hadir sepenuhnya mendampingi anak, kita sedang membangun Secure Attachment (Kelekatan Aman). Memori kehangatan ini tersimpan di sistem limbik otak anak sebagai rasa aman, percaya diri, dan ketahanan emosional hingga mereka dewasa kelak.
Tapi tahukah Parents? Manfaatnya tak cuma untuk anak!
Saat kita melepas sejenak gadget dan tertawa bersama anak, tubuh kita melepaskan hormon oksitosin yang meredakan hormon stres (kortisol) setelah seharian lelah bekerja. Bermain bersama menjadi sarana mindfulness alami yang memulihkan kesehatan emosional orang tua.
Jadi, kebersamaan hari ini bukan cuma investasi masa depan anak, tapi juga obat lelah untuk kita orang tua🌿

Hari ini Posyandu day! 🧑🧑🧒🧒
Eh PAUD tapi ada Posyandu juga? Yup. Di PAUD kami, PAUD Sehat Ceria, sekolah tidak hanya sebagai layanan pendidikan. Ada integrasi layanan kesehatan di sana, gizi, pengasuhan, perlindungan, dan kesejahteraan anak yang saling terhubung.

One key take away at #IMPACTWEEK2026 is rethinking how we design support to parents —treating parent well-being as a shared responsibility rather than individual’s.
It means that the systems around them should provide adequate support like accessible mental health services, credible parenting information, family-friendly workplace policies, childcare assistance, social protection, greater involvement from fathers, and coordinated public services, etc.
When parents are supported as whole human beings, the benefits extend far beyond their individual well-being that support strengthens families, communities, and the social and economic foundations that allow children to grow and thrive.
The work of turning love into infrastructure continues - and we’re in it.

Ayah ibu, sudah ajak cek rutin gigi anak belum?
Di PAUD Sehat Ceria, dental check up bagian dari kegiatan rutin enam bulan sekali —menghadirkan kerja sama dengan @puskesmasbojonggede. Langkah sederhana ini bagian dari pendekatan holistik integratif yang menghubungkan layanan kesehatan hingga pengasuhan berjalan bersama untuk mendukung tunbuh kembang anak.

We couldn’t agree more with our Chairwoman Syifa Andina.
Parenting was never meant to be done alone. If there is a parent in your circle, take a moment to check in—not only on the child, but on the parent too.
And if you are navigating parenthood yourself: what kind of support would make you feel more seen, supported, and able to thrive?
Share your thoughts in the comments. Let’s keep learning how we can build a village that truly shows up.

Yesterday, we joined the Impact Lab AT ONE IMPACT WEEK 2026 with @arungi_org and @fundlifeint —finalist the #GoodStartChallenge in Southeast Asia region.
The session highlighted an important idea about how we define #LoveAsInfrastructure: supporting caregivers and parental wellbeing that can transform families, communities, and local economics alike.
From supporting maternal mental health in Indonesia through BUNDA Program, promoting gender-equal parenting in Rote Island, to community play hub in Filipina. All are in one shared goal: helping parents feel supported so families and communities can thrive.
Huge thank you @challengeworksuk @vanleerfoundation for your continued support!

Kemarin, kami mengikuti Impact Lab di One Impact Week 2026 bersama @arungi_org dan @fundlifeint — sesama finalist GoodStartChallenge dari Asia Tenggara.
Sesi kali ini mengurai satu gagasan tentang LoveAsInfrastructure atau “cinta sebagai infrastruktur” dalam konteks Asia Tenggara yang kami artikan dalam bentuk dukungan pada pengasuh dan kesejahteraan orang tua sebagai infrastruktur yang memperkuat keluarga, komunitas, dan ekonomi lokal.
Implementasinya mulai dari dukungan kesehatan mental ibu di Indonesia lewat Program BUNDA, pengasuhan yang setara di Pulau Rote, hingga community play hub di Filipina, kami memiliki satu tujuan yang sama: memastikan orang tua mendapatkan dukungan agar keluarga dan komunitas dapat tumbuh lebih kuat.
