Congratulations to Trash Hero Indonesia! After many months of hard work, the organisation has registered as an Indonesian foundation, known locally as a Yayasan.
The official documents to bring the foundation into existence were signed on 4 November 2018 at a ceremony in Ubud Palace, Gianyar, Bali, by Tjokorda Gde Agung Ichiro Sukawati, the Prince of Ubud (pictured below), and the co-founder of Trash Hero Indonesia, Jan Bareš.
Trash Hero activities started in Indonesia more than 4 years ago, in September 2014, and the movement has since grown to almost 40 separate chapters across the archipelago. It is hoped the new legal structure, which is led by an unpaid board of trustees chaired by Wayan Aksara (pictured top, with Jan) and supported by a mentor network, will strengthen the organisation’s position locally, and help the movement to grow and scale successfully.
Plans to register in other countries with a strong Trash Hero presence are also underway, for example in Thailand and Malaysia.
