2 Susila Dharma International 2011 Annual Report


Message from the Chairperson
On behalf of the members, staff and the Board of Directors of SDIA, it
is my pleasure to present the Annual Report for 2011. Hard work, sus-
tained effort, and many contributions at the local, national, regional and
international levels brought forth the results you see summarised here.
At the core of the Susila Dharma network are the 41 social and human-
itarian projects working for equitable, life-serving outcomes in their
communities. It is primarily in the support of these efforts that the rest
of the network—national teams, international advisory groups, SDIA
staff and Board and other volunteers—becomes mobilised. I would like
to take the unusual step of leading our highlights for the year with a
tribute to the staff of SDIA who coordinate our network with relatively
few resources. Virginia Thomas, our executive director, brings a level
of creativity and sound development expertise that has raised the level
of professionalism and led to the successful implementation of new
partnership strategies in SDIA. The rest of the small team works quietly
and efficiently. Because they believe strongly in the principles and goals
of the organisation, they put in more hours than they are paid for. They
are a tremendous asset for the organisation, and we are most grateful
to Samuel Chapleau (bookkeeper and DR Congo project administrator),
Rosanna Hille (communications), Solen Lees (translations, volunteers
and UN coordinator), Cassidy Sterling (website and publications), and
Hillel Natanson (social media). As we grow, however, the demands on
staff time are greater and become more complex, and the Board has
made a priority of ensuring a fair and equitable remuneration that can
also be sustainable for the organisation.

reflected, we need to “grow with capacity” and the
building of capacity of our national teams, and the
international organisation will then in turn be able to
support the ability of our projects to be responsive to
the multiple needs of their communities.
Kumari Beck
While some of our member projects were able to
realise many successes from our collective sup-
port, and even win some awards in 2011, the most
hopeful developments, in our view, were realised
in the DR Congo. The first in a series of community
health centres was well on the way to opening its
doors. This was the result of a web of partnership
support involving SD DR Congo, Médecins d’Afrique,
the Buchan Family Foundation, and the Canadian
Embassy in Kinshasa, ably coordinated by the SDIA
team (see details below). Plans are under way to
enhance the impact of these centres by adding other
initiatives to improve basic health and well-being in
these under-served communities.

team members coordinated the camp on-site in
conjunction with YUM project staff. The goal was to
support the Village’s sustainable organic agriculture
programme, to do some renovations on the site’s
buildings, and to pilot a programme that would bring
students and other volunteers to the YUM Village to
assist in social work and to learn the value of contrib-
uting to the community.
Networking and Learning
The SDIA Annual General Meeting and Conference
was held in Aghii Apostoloi, Kalamos, Greece, July
13-18, 2011. Members came from Spain, Portugal,
Britain, Canada, India, Indonesia, Ireland, France,
Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Germany, Japan, RD
Congo and Sweden, representing 15 national SD
organisations and two projects. SDIA subsidised SD
Nationals representatives from developing countries.
In addition to the formal business meeting, members
spent rare time together learning from each other
Lemba Imbu CSCOM Clinic, DR Congo
and strengthening the international network. There
were a number of themes that concerned the SD
Nationals, including: communicating the signifi-
cance of SD work; recruiting board members who
would be willing to invest the needed volunteer
hours; creating understanding and a sense of the
importance of Susila Dharma among Subud national
and zonal committees; obtaining more information
on ‘due diligence’ and harmonizing our granting ef-
forts so that we work more effectively as a network
to co-support and strengthen projects.
Participating members, especially those from
developing countries who do not have as many
opportunities to meet, spoke very highly of the
sense of community, support and shared purpose
within the Susila Dharma Network. Presentations
and discussions were held on activities in the DR
Congo, the International Child Development Pro-
gramme, the Roda Viva Project in Portugal, the Get
Involved! Volunteering Programme and the Human
Force Volunteer Camp.

 Making a Difference
“ What struck me the most was the sense of
community in the work. I realised that our work
is one, and that we are all trying to bring our own
contribution, whether we are from a developed
or developing country, woman or man.”
—Dianteza Dimpioka (SD DR Congo)
“Through working to develop this
project, we have learned so much
about child protection and working
with others to improve the local
circumstances for orphaned and
vulnerable children.”
—DRC Project leader

Grants and
Technical Support
Traditionally, most funds for SD projects and activi-
ties are raised from SD National organisations and
our dependable partners like the Guerrand Hermes
Foundation for Peace and the Lesley and Dorothy
Blond Trust. This year the Buchan Family Foundation
has emerged to become a major funder of activities
in DR Congo. This is also the first time that SDIA
has taken on the role of grant management, moni-
toring and assessment for projects outside the SD
Network.
In addition to providing technical and capacity devel-
opment support, SDIA disbursed a total of $284,466
in grants to members’ and other activities in 2011.
This includes those allocated from SDIA funds,
earmarked donations from individuals, and grants
from trusts, foundations and SD Nationals that are
administered by SDIA.

Community Health
and Well-being
SD Indonesia
Every human being has a right to health care;
however, a third of the world’s population is denied
this right. Every year, in the poorest countries of the
world, ten million infants die of preventable disease
and malnutrition, some 500,000 women die during
pregnancy and childbirth because they lack access
to sufficient medical care, and more than one billion
people are living without clean drinking water.
SDIA supports its members improving community
health and well-being as they:
• Provide access to better nutrition, sanitation,
health awareness and medical services by
delivering these services through schools, clinics
and community centres,
• Provide health, education and nutritional
programmes in schools,
• Identify community-based solutions to
preventable diseases and hazards such as
malnutrition, land-mines, malaria and HIV/AIDS,
• Empower individuals and communities to take an
active role in their own health care.
16 Susila Dharma International 2011 Annual Report
Project Support
DR Congo
In 2010 the Buchan Family Foundation contacted
SDIA after reading a blog entry on the SDIA website
about problems posed by lack of affordable, quality
healthcare in the DRC and our approach to develop-
ing community health centres. SDIA is the admin-
istrator and manager of these funds with Virginia
Thomas, Samuel Chapleau and the team in Montréal
as project coordinators. One of the largest projects
underway is to build a series of community health
centres (CSCOM) after the initial pilot project with
CSCOM Ndjili Kilambu in partnership with Médecins
d’Afrique, a local NGO. Grants totalling $69,860
(USD) were provided for construction, community
mobilisation, training by Médecins d’Afrique, pur-
chase of medical supplies, solar panels and medi-
cines. SDIA assisted SD DRC to obtain a grant from
the Canadian Embassy in Kinshasa for this project.
The clinic is due to open in 2012.
CEDERI-Madimba in Lower Congo is a community
centre training community leaders, promoting pri-
mary health care and reforestation, supplying clean
drinking water and sanitation, and providing a family
agricultural enterprise model. SDIA supported this
project in renovating the building and equipment
of the Madimba Health Centre, improving basic
healthcare for the population.
Indonesia, New Zealand and Japan
SDIA provided a grant to SD Indonesia’s partnership
with Planet Water Foundation to create a clean wa-
ter project following the volcanic eruption of Mount
Merapi on Java. SDIA collected $31,592.89 (USD)
for earthquake and tsunami emergency relief in New
Zealand and Japan. These funds were distributed to
SD New Zealand and SD Japan who allocated them
to families, programmes and other charities working
in the affected areas.
Community Development
and Sustainable Livelihoods
Anisha, India
Many problems facing families and communities
in the developing world are linked to inadequate
employment and income and the lack of a political
voice. SDIA supports its members to strengthen the
social, economic and political participation of those
in marginalised communities, increasing their ability
to shape their own destiny. Through community
development, the capacity to meet common goals is
increased and families are helped to establish more
secure and sustainable livelihoods.
SDIA supports members working to improve com-
munity development and sustainable livelihoods as
they:
• Promote the use of participatory approaches to
development,
• Build vocational, literacy and work-related skills
• Provide opportunities for adult education,
rehabilitation and social integration,
• Develop micro-savings and loan schemes that
empower women and men to become more
effective providers for their families.
Project Support
DR Congo
Several agricultural and community development
projects outside the SD Network were monitored
and assessed by SDIA in 2011. CEDER, a rural com-
munity centre in Lower Congo, supports a number
of farmers’ associations with new seed varieties,
training in animal husbandry techniques and agricul-
tural credits to help increase their production. Work-
ing Villages International, an American non-profit
organisation, supports an agricultural project to
introduce oxen teams and animal traction in farming
and the production of extensive and varied crops in
the Ruzizi Valley in Eastern Congo.
India
SDIA provided funding to Anisha Rural (India) to
enable them to raise their portion of the partnership
requirement with SD Germany to access financial
support from the German government.
Indonesia
In January a grant was allocated for an independent
evaluation of Yayasan Tambuhak Sinta’s (YTS) work
in Central Kalimantan to deliver training in sound
community planning processes in the region and
other parts of Indonesia. The evaluation has led to
a strategic focusing on staff capacity-development
and broadened the scope of the programme to
involve more youth. YTS has now hired a full-time
training officer and is working with an outside training
institution. This evaluation has benefitted several
SD Nationals who are now engaged in funding this
training programme.
