The challenge
With its large population, access to safe water in Indonesia is a challenge for many people. The situation in schools is especially concerning. According to UN and UNICEF data, 24% of schools in Indonesia lack a basic water supply and 29% lack basic sanitation.

Since 2009
Planet Water Foundation has been active in Indonesia since 2009, and deployed over 175 clean water projects during this time, providing access to clean, safe water to over 350,000 people.
Our work is focused on the deployment of AquaTower water filtration systems which have been installed in elementary schools in conjunction with our water health and hygiene education program. Together, our solutions are helping to bring clean, safe water access to students, teachers and members of the communities surrounding our project sites.
Currently, our focus is on clean water projects in West Java , East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, and Batam.
Planet Water Foundation has also actively been involved in disaster response efforts in Indonesia, providing access to safe water to thousands of people impacted by the Lombok earthquake in 2018, the Cianjur earthquake in 2022, and the Sumatra floods in 2025.
