Welcome to YTS
Yayasan Tambuhak Sinta (YTS) is a community development foundation based in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Established in 1998, we are working to create an enabling environment for sustainable and equitable development in the province.
Vision
An inventive, advanced and prosperous society in Central Kalimantan that runs on good governance, and sustainable economic, environmental, and social-cultural development principles, based on true human values guided by the grace of Almighty God.
In recent years, YTS has focused on building strong and lasting partnerships with village governments—particularly with village heads—because we believe that effective governance at the village level is the foundation for long-term community resilience. Through this approach, we work hand-in-hand with communities to improve governance, health, education, livelihoods, culture, infrastructure, environment, and gender equality.
YTS also plays an active role in shaping the roadmap for peatland restoration and conservation in Central Kalimantan. Our work aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and includes initiatives in sustainable agriculture, restoring degraded lands, and contributing to climate change mitigation.
Our current programs are supported by a range of respected partners and funders, including GIZ, ACIAR, Cambridge University, KOMIR, GDCC, Susila Dharma International, UNCCD, and others. Together, we are building stronger, more resilient villages and protecting the environment for future generations.
