Yayasan Dian Desa
YDD started as a small, informal group consisting of three activist technical students who expressed an interest in the development and application of appropriate technology for rural development. Activities started in 1968 and until 1972 were still in the form of an informal organization. In 1972, that group was registered as a formal organization and became known as Yayasan Dian Desa (Dian Desa Foundation).
About Us
For many people throughout rural Indonesia, “Dian Desa” has come to mean a better quality of life. A better life means not only the improvement of living conditions, but also a sense of empowerment. YDD’s working principle is to spread the use of appropriate technology to provide sustainable solutions for development throughout Indonesia. Working as a catalyst, YDD introduces new ideas to communities which are then refined, maintained, and spread by the villagers themselves.

Saat ini, pertanian adalah kegiatan utama yang dilakukan di areal P3M. Penanaman Moringa Oleifera adalah komponen utama dalam konteks program tersebut. Walau Moringa Oleifera adalah fokus utama, di saat bersamaan kami juga mengembangkan budidaya pertanian lainnya seperti sayur mayur. Kenapa kami memilih budidaya sayur mayur? Alasannya sederhana, karena di daerah ini sebagian besar produk sayur mayur didatangkan dari daerah lain yang berdampak pada harga yang cukup tinggi.

The collation of lessons from field studies and the resultant socially accountable business plan has informed the development of the Water Heating Test to ensure the desired outcomes of all stakeholders are met. The previous discussion intends to show that different stove programs, users and distributors have particular priorities which must be accommodated by technical testing and functional evaluations. The WHT Technical Test used in the ICSI lab implements this holistic, contextual testing approach.
