Project Overview

This phase focuses on building safe, dignified, and earthquake-resistant homes for poor and vulnerable families, particularly in Lhokseumawe City, Aceh.
Beyond physical reconstruction, the project seeks to restore dignity, strengthen community resilience, and ensure that the most marginalized families have access to secure and decent living conditions. Community participation is central to the project, with vulnerable voices actively involved at every stage—from identification and planning to implementation and monitoring.
In collaboration with local stakeholders and partners, Islamic Relief Indonesia is committed to upholding international humanitarian standards, including the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS) and SPHERE Standards, while also integrating essential Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) components.
