BEATS primarily operates in Indonesia, collaborating with five organisations. We partner with GBI Church in Ambon (E Indonesia) to aid earthquake victims through home rebuilding, child sponsorship and a start-up business loan program. Additionally in Sumatra (NW Indonesia) we work alongside YSI, which conducts disaster preparedness and runs micro enterprise schemes as well as YACAN and YASAH who operate Children's Homes. YASERA helps communities with disaster preparedness along with health and development programmes in various locations in Indonesia.

BEATS have now provided funds for the rebuilding or repair of 14 houses, following the destructive earthquake in Ambon in September 2019. Simon, Olla and their 5 children are very poor; Simon grows food in their garden, and sometimes supplements this by going sea fishing to provide food for his family.
For information on how BEATS has already helped in Ambon see the information on our Ambon page.
