Yayasan Jembatan Masa Depan (JMD), an Indonesian-registered foundation based in Aceh since 2006, creates livelihood and education programs to
give communities new skills and opportunity to build a brighter
future. 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.

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