In today’s increasingly interconnected world, international internships offer invaluable opportunities for both personal and professional development. For Maddison Hardstaff, such an opportunity unfolded during her recent placement in YUM.

Since 2018, YUM has been developing a sustainable agroforestry model in Central Kalimantan. By 2024, with support from SDIA, Susila Dharma Germany, and BMZ, the project expanded into a full pilot with ten smallholder farmers.

YUM Cipanas, in collaboration with Mitsui, is supporting mothers at Posyandu Cengkeh through complementary food-focused sessions—blending nutrition knowledge, hands-on cooking, and community care.

At YUM Cipanas, supporting the well-being of the elderly goes beyond providing care—it means creating space for dialogue, learning, and shared experience.

In August this year, we were extremely happy to receive the visit of many of our donors, partners and friends who happened to be in Kalimantan for the Subud World Congress.
