A brief history of Indonesia

The Indonesian history and culture have been shaped by its successive conquests by the neighboring foreign kingdoms and the later colonial empires. An independent country since 1945, Indonesia shelters one of the largest Muslim communities in the world as well as Hindu, Buddhist, Christian and Animist minorities: a mosaic of populations and ethnic groups, cradled in the luxurious vegetation and volcanic mountains that make up the awe-inspiring landscape of the country.

Economy in Indonesia

Industry is the pillar of Indonesian economy and the country is well-known for its textile, cement, chemical fertilizer, electronics and rubber tires productions. Agriculture remains a close second, though, since it employs 40% of the Indonesian population, mostly in the wood production sector.  

Supporting projects in Indonesia

Babyloan has been supporting projects in Indonesia since 2012 thanks to Komida, our Indonesian partner on the field. Supporting the Indonesian population is a priority for our social business and as of now, 100% of the projects funded by Babyloan in Indonesia are held by women.
