Message from Director
Visi
Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Peace be upon all of us,

The passing away of our founder as well as our great leader, KH.Abdurrahman Wahid in 2009 was a big blow for us at the Institute. But we are determined to transform the deep sorrow into an uplifting spirit by continuing to create changes as he envisioned. Entering the 7th year of our existence, we are consistent in our work to fight for tolerance and pluralism in Indonesia and the world. We continue to produce various ideas and thinking and publish numerous writings. We also strive to enhance the capacity building amongst religious leaders on the grassroots level, especially within Islamic circles. At the same time we also try to strengthen our networks in international level with special focus on the Southeast Asia. We are engaged in various research projects with many international groups with the objective of capturing more information and nuances on the reality of diversity in many countries so as to give us better understanding of the issues at stake. The continuous evaluations on our programs has led us to develop ideas and projects that we believe will have immediate impact on our target groups. Therefore, in the past few years we have been focusing on programs that enhances the quality of life of groups that are socially, economically and politically marginalized. As well as doing advocacy works, we also provide scholarships for hundreds of underprivileged middle and high school students. We aim to create educated yet peace minded and tolerant children for a better society. We are also in the process of developing an economic program to encourage small sized entrepreneurship, especially amongst women. To that end we have set up a cooperative that has started to give out loans. Our program is designed to provide small capital and access towards economic empowerment and to foster understanding and tolerance amongst members of the society at the same time. We would like to convey our sincerest gratitude to our program partners as well as many parties that have positively collaborated with us. We hope that the positive synergy will continue well into the future for the immediate fulfillment of our objective, to create a better world.
