Yayasan Jembatan Masa Depan (JMD), a foundation based in Aceh, Indonesia since 2006, creates livelihood and education programs to give families and communities new skills and opportunity to build a brighter future for themselves. Many communities in Aceh were devastated by the 2004 Asian Tsunami and many more were torn apart by 30 years of civil conflict, which ended in 2005.

Our goal is to leave the villages we serve with new small enterprises firmly established, an educated and skilled workforce, and proud adult role models to mentor local children.

Our strategy is simple: Provide nutritious food, profitable enterprises, and provide lasting empowerment by increasing literacy rates, teaching new skills, and creating new jobs.
