Indonesia's Natural Disasters

Caused in part by climate change and population pressure, natural disasers such as floods, landslides, and droughts have become unfortunate facts of life in Indonesia. 

With its location on the Ring of Fire earthquakes, volcano eruptions and even tsunamis have caused and continue to cause suffering. 
Indonesia has more than a hundred active volcanoes. The ones that urge caution include Anak Krakatau, Merapi, Semeru, and Bromo.

Even so, it is perfectly safe to travel Indonesia.

Support local and international organizations that provide humanitarian assistance and help improve the lives of children and vulnerable groups in Indonesia, including:

Plan International Indonesia (Children at the center of their communities' development)
Greenpeace Indonesia
Little Care.org (direct assistance for children and families in Indonesia)
Anak.fr (ANAK Foundation, support for children in Bali)
