ABOUT US

Wahid Foundation was launched on September 7, 2004, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jakarta. It was founded during a time when the world has not yet healed from the pain and panic caused by the 11/9/2001 tragedy in New York, and when Indonesia had been experiencing numerous outbreaks of communal violence triggered by disputes in the name of religion or ethnic identity. Violent incidents broke out all around the country and touching even the nation's big cities.
