NLR Indonesia

What NLR Indonesia does

NLR Indonesia (Yayasan NLR Indonesia) is an Indonesian non-profit foundation established in 1975 as the local arm of NLR International (Netherlands Leprosy Relief, founded 1967), with headquarters in Cibubur, East Jakarta. The foundation pursues a mission of leprosy elimination in Indonesia by 2040, working through two integrated workstreams: the Zero Leprosy (ZL) workstream, which delivers prevention, early detection, chemoprophylaxis, and treatment programs (including the Zero Leprosy Project, PEP-COM, DESAKU/Leprosy Friendly Village, and KOTAKU); and the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) workstream, which delivers economic empowerment, advocacy, youth participation, and rights-based inclusion programs (including KUBIK, BEN, MYP-BEST, Body Talk 2.0, and Nexus Gamalama) for people affected by leprosy (OYPMK) and persons with disabilities.

The foundation's service delivery is built on a community-led model that combines partnerships with puskesmas (community health centers), training of community health cadres (kader kesehatan) for door-to-door screening, and collaboration with village, district, and provincial governments. It does not develop proprietary technology products; its intellectual capital consists of programmatic methodology, technical advisors with clinical expertise, and a 50-year operating history in Indonesia.

The foundation operates as a grant-funded non-profit foundation (yayasan) with no commercial pricing, providing all services and medications free of charge to beneficiaries. Revenue is sourced from international donors including NLR International (parent and primary donor), Liliane Foundation, The Leprosy Mission New Zealand and Australia, Australian Aid, and Paul Foundation. It maintains an active role in national health policy via participation in RAN Eliminasi Kusta 2023-2027 and an MoU with Bappenas for collaboration on neglected tropical diseases. The organization employs 501-1000 staff and operates across 8 provinces and 26 regencies/cities.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• The Leprosy Mission International: Global leprosy-focused NGO operating in multiple countries with case finding, rehabilitation, advocacy, and community empowerment programs. Direct peer as NLR Indonesia's PEP-COM and DESAKU projects are co-funded by The Leprosy Mission New Zealand and Australia affiliates.
• NLR International: Netherlands-based parent organization founded in 1967 that funds and coordinates leprosy elimination work globally, including being NLR Indonesia's primary donor and strategic parent. Most directly comparable as the umbrella entity operating the same mission through country affiliates.
• American Leprosy Missions: U.S.-based Christian NGO focused on leprosy research, treatment, and disability inclusion. Operates similar programs (case finding, rehabilitation, economic empowerment) across leprosy-endemic countries and competes for the same international donor pool.
• Sasakawa Health Foundation: Japan-based foundation working to eliminate leprosy and address associated stigma and discrimination through WHO collaboration. Comparable mission and operating model in leprosy elimination and human rights advocacy for affected persons.
• FAIRMED: Switzerland-based health NGO working on neglected tropical diseases, disability inclusion, and community health in Asia and Africa. Comparable in combining disease elimination with rehabilitation and economic empowerment in leprosy-endemic regions.
• Effect Hope (formerly The Leprosy Mission Canada): Canadian NGO focused on leprosy and NTDs with programs in detection, treatment, and disability inclusion. Direct peer in mission, donor model, and target beneficiary populations across leprosy-endemic geographies.

Regional players

• LEPRA Society: India-based NGO providing leprosy referral centres, disability prevention, and community-based rehabilitation. Comparable programmatic model but operates primarily in India rather than Indonesia; relevant as a regional peer with similar field approach.
• Yayasan Yakkum (Yakkum Rehabilitation Center): Indonesian disability-focused foundation providing rehabilitation, assistive devices, and inclusive development. Comparable as a domestic peer in disability inclusion programming, though focused on broader disability rather than leprosy specifically.

Broad incumbents

• World Health Organization (NTD Programme): Global public health body that sets leprosy elimination strategy, including the SDR-PEP and LPEP protocols NLR Indonesia implements. Comparable as the strategic authority shaping NLR Indonesia's programmatic design and a coordination counterpart rather than a direct competitor.

Others

• Perkumpulan Penyandang Disabilitas Indonesia (PPDI): National cross-disability organization in Indonesia representing persons with disabilities on rights and policy. Adjacent peer working on the same inclusion agenda NLR Indonesia advances through its DEI workstream, though not a leprosy specialist.
