CIRMA: Making a Real Impact for the Poorest Community
CIRMA(Centrum Inisiatif Rakyat Mandiri) is a civil society organization founded on May 18, 2018, by a collective of individuals deeply concerned about the persistence of extreme poverty in urban slums, peri-urban settlements, and rural communities across eastern Indonesia. From its early work in poverty enclaves, CIRMA recognized that the struggle of the poor is not merely economic—it is a daily struggle for dignity, equality, ecological justice, and the right to live well. This foundational view aligns with the global aspiration of achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1 (No Poverty), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 5 (Gender Equality). CIRMA began by addressing one of the most fundamental human needs—water and sanitation. Through community-based interventions such as well drilling, the construction of healthy latrines, and the revitalization of village water systems, CIRMA works to ensure equitable access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities. This work contributes significantly to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) while simultaneously strengthening health outcomes (SDG 3) and advancing equity for marginalized households. As its work evolved, CIRMA expanded its mission to strengthen climate justice and ecological resilience for smallholder farmers and rural communities in West Timor. The organization facilitates programs on climate-resilient agriculture, eco-enzyme–based ecological farming, climate information services, farmer-led cooperatives, and community adaptation to climate variability. These initiatives not only strengthen rural livelihoods and promote dignified work (SDG 8) but also support resilient food systems (SDG 2 – Zero Hunger) and responsible ecological production (SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production) while contributing to SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 15 (Life on Land) through ecosystem restoration and community-managed tree planting programs. CIRMA also engages in nutrition-sensitive and stunting prevention initiatives, particularly focusing on women of reproductive age, infants, and young children in low-income rural families. By linking food security, ecological farming, maternal health, and nutrition education, CIRMA advances a holistic approach to rural well-being that reinforces SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and strengthens gender-responsive community development (SDG 5 – Gender Equality). Since its establishment, CIRMA has initiated and maintained global partnerships with international institutions that share a commitment to social equity, environmental justice, and inclusive development. Among its international partners are Vitamin Angels America, New Zealand Embassy, Japan Water Fund, SELAVIP (Latin American, Asian, and African Housing Service) Chile, and the Climate Justice Resilience Fund (CJRF) USA. These collaborations demonstrate the growing international trust in CIRMA’s integrity, accountability, and transformative community impact. Through these partnerships, CIRMA contributes to SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) and stands as a recognized local actor within the global network for climate justice and community resilience—representing the voices of West Timor’s smallholder farmers on a broader international stage. In all its work, CIRMA builds collaborative partnerships with local governments, universities, development agencies, cooperatives, indigenous communities, and grassroots organizations. It serves as a bridge—connecting knowledge, innovation, and compassion—to promote inclusive development and social transformation from the village level upward. CIRMA is officially registered under Indonesian law, holds a valid operational license, and functions as a charitable and development institution operating at the sub-national level. Rooted in West Timor, CIRMA continues to champion a just, sustainable, and dignified life for every person—from water to food, from soil to dignity—advancing a people-centered pathway toward a climate-resilient and equitable future.

“Since our family received the Healthy Latrine support from SELAVIP and CIRMA, we no longer need to go outside to relieve ourselves, especially at night. I also learned how to maintain hygiene and care for our sanitation facilities in the right way. For us, this support is not just a toilet—it is comfort, health, and dignity for our family here in the Lospalos Resettlement, Oebelo Village.”
