Starting Point

Paska Aceh is involved in conflict management and post-conflict rehabilitation. It focuses on educating children of conflict survivors for a better life. It also plays a vital role in educating the Acehnese community about the history of Aceh's past conflicts, the value of human rights awareness, dealing with trauma, and community empowerment.

Its efforts to empower the community include providing training in handicrafts and food processing. More than 200 women have been involved, and they have established Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises collectively. The proceeds from selling these handicrafts and processed foods have boosted the economy of survivors in post-conflict Aceh.

Peace Journey

Paska Aceh also plays an important role in educating the Acehnese community about the history of Aceh's past conflicts, the value of human rights awareness, dealing with victims' trauma, and community empowerment.

Paska Aceh's efforts to empower the community include providing training in handicrafts and food processing. More than 200 women victims of the conflict have been involved, and together they have set up UMKM (Micro, Small, and Medium Expertise). The proceeds from the sale of these handicrafts and processed foods have boosted the economy of victims in post-conflict Aceh.

Success Stories

Paska Aceh has faced some challenges in carrying out its activities with the shrinking civic space in Indonesia. The organisation is classified as one banned from operating in Indonesia and has found it difficult in raising funds to continue carrying out its work. 

Despite its limitations, Paska Aceh continues to empower through mentoring and business training, thereby enhancing the community's economic well-being. It is also active in other social movements, such as advocating for conflict and Tsunami refugees, including Rohingya refugees. As a result, many Acehnese conflict survivors and refugees have received assistance, particularly in terms of economic support.
