The YUM Organic Farm is a social enterprise that grows and sells organic vegetables in West Java, Indonesia. The farm is also a learning facility for young farmers to learn about organic farming practices. Since the pandemic, our farm has been providing vegetables to pregnant mothers and elderly to ensure food security and good health. This project's purpose is to help maintain and scale up the farm's impact so it may continue to serve young farmers, pregnant mothers and the elderly.

A World Bank study found that close to 60 percent of Indonesian youth are unemployed; this is the case in Yayasan Usaha Mulia's project area of Cipanas, West Java. That is why a Vocational Training Center (VTC) was established in order for youths to learn skills that would increase their chances of gaining employment. So far, 75 percent of our alumni have found jobs. Help us keep the VTC going and help more than 300 disadvantaged youths per year find employment.
