About NDI

We are an award-winning non-profit social enterprise founded in Singapore, with an office in Jakarta and Bali. 1 out of 4 Indonesians do not have access to a clean, safe and affordable source of light. Many rural women also do not have meaningful job opportunities. Our aim is to end energy poverty in rural Indonesia through women empowerment and technology, via our award-winning Ibu Rumah Terang Program (Mothers of Light Program). Our Mothers of Light have so far benefited over 13,000 rural beneficiaries across 30 villages in Indonesia with solar lights. Check out our work here:

At NDI, we do ‘non-profit’ differently. We value innovative thinking coupled with the spirit of being able to get things done, and a business-like mindset to ensure that we are delivering the greatest impact in a sustainable, measurable and efficient manner.

The Fellowship is a highly selective, high impact program meant for outstanding young individuals below the age of 35 who want to make a change in society. The position is based in Jakarta, with regular travel to different parts of Indonesia. 2 types of Fellowships are available:
