The Dahetok Milah Lestari Foundation was created to empower indigenous communities, particularly those in South Papua. Our goal is to restore local food sovereignty by prioritizing organic farming methods and traditional farming systems in combination with modern agriculture. Additionally, we focus on forest protection and reforestation through an agroforestry approach, hoping to regrow the forest with various trees and food forests.


We assist indigenous communities in South Papua by providing training, developing local products, connecting communities with market access or consumers, and selling products outside the country. Our programs equip farmers with knowledge and skills while recognizing the crucial link between nutrition and agriculture.
