YAYASAN ILHAM BUDI or in English, it’s known as, the FOUNDATION OF THE INSPIRING VIRTUES is an organization that at the beginning of its incorporation was more focused on implementing community development programmes and human capital enhancement.

In 2015, the Foundation went through a process of adding value and re-evaluating itself and henceforth moved to restructure its strategy, function and focus to becoming a center for research and development and policy analysis riding on digital technology and big data analytics.

Communities and societies are dynamic and complex systems in a constant state of flux and all are used to adapting to some form of adversity. Yet, the reality is very few neighborhoods, towns or cities completely shut down and die, although some fall into decline and dramatically shrink. On the other hand, some communities do well in the face of quite rapid and profound change: some even thrive, reinvent and renew themselves.

YIB provides unparalleled platforms to highlight and advance leading models of sustainable social innovation. It identifies and initiates communities that work towards social transformation and community development in order to help, encourages, enables and support for the betterment and improvement of the society through inclusive approach and sustainable engagement.
