Why Should We Take Action Together with Menabung Air Foundation (MAF)?

  • WATER FACTS
Water Crisis and Drought

A study by the World Resources Institute (WRI) indicates that Indonesia is at high risk of experiencing a water crisis by 2040.

Floods

Floods affect several regions in Indonesia during the rainy season due to land subsidence and poor water absorption.

Water Pollution

70% of rivers in Indonesia are polluted by domestic waste (Ministry of Environment and Forestry, 2022)

We focus on using biopore technology as a solution. Biopores are not the sole solution to Indonesia’s water problems, but when implemented collectively on a large scale, they can effectively address multiple water issues.

Milestones of the Menabung Air Movement

The Menabung Air movement has expanded across multiple cities in Indonesia. Starting with a single biopore infiltration hole in Ponorogo, it has grown into a national action reaching areas prone to flooding and water crises.

Voices from the Field

Volunteering with the Menabung Air Foundation has given me a deeper understanding of the importance of collaboration and collective action in addressing the water crisis. Through biopore installation activities, I learned that even small contributions can create a significant impact.

Being a volunteer at the Menabung Air Foundation made me feel that I could truly create real impact. It was rewarding to contribute to environmental protection while learning and working alongside people who share the same passion and commitment.

As a volunteer with Menabung Air, I enjoyed every step of the process—not only for my own growth, but also for the students, teachers, and communities we serve. Sharing knowledge about today’s environmental challenges made me realize that small actions can spark much greater motivation and change.

Volunteering with the Menabung Air Foundation on behalf of Maesa Hotel has strengthened my leadership, organizational, and sense of responsibility. It has also given me a deep sense of fulfillment and gratitude for being able to contribute directly to the community. Additionally, this experience allowed me to expand my professional network and become a small source of inspiration within my surroundings.

Hadi Prayitno

Since becoming a volunteer with Menabung Air, I have experienced significant personal changes—from adopting more water-efficient habits to gaining broader environmental knowledge and becoming more aware of the importance of environmental protection. This transformation is not only for myself, but something I am eager to share with those around me.

Irene Berliana Alfiantina

Volunteer Madiun, Jawa Timur

Before joining Menabung Air, I had no understanding of biopore systems. However, through volunteering, my knowledge has expanded and my environmental awareness has grown. I also had the opportunity to take on a teaching role while participating in educational programs at schools, which was a meaningful and rewarding experience.

Sri Hariyani

Volunteer Ponorogo, Jawa Timur

Since becoming a volunteer with Menabung Air, I have met many people with diverse mindsets and goals. Environmental awareness is not always built from an early age, which can make it challenging to engage communities. However, by conducting outreach in a fun and interactive way, people become more interested, more open to participation, and willing to shift their mindset.

Being part of the Menabung Air Volunteer team has opened my eyes to the fact that small actions like these can become significant steps in planting new hope for future generations.

Inggrid Mufida

Volunteer From Nganjuk

Volunteering with the Menabung Air Foundation has helped me gain a deeper understanding of how to respond to the water crisis. I hope that activities such as creating biopore infiltration holes can generate long-term impact, particularly in securing a better future for water sustainability.

Sri Widodo, S. Kom

Volunteer From Wonogiri, Jawa Tengah

Participating in Menabung Air is not merely about digging biopore infiltration holes or conducting brief outreach sessions. For me, becoming a volunteer has built a deeper awareness that water must be protected through real and tangible action. Through every interaction with students—discussions and hands-on practice—I learned that care and awareness are contagious. One biopore hole may seem small, but when we take action together, the impact becomes clear: we are protecting water and planting hope for a fertile Earth in the future.v

Small Steps Toward a Better Earth Through biopore systems, we help absorb rainwater, prevent flooding, and enrich the soil. Let’s start from our own communities.

Yogi Tangka Pratama

Volunteer from Saradan, Jawa Timur

The education on water conservation through biopore systems conducted by the Menabung Air Indonesia Foundation has been highly meaningful for the surrounding community. It encouraged me to create simple biopore systems in my own neighborhood using tools and materials that were no longer in use. This experience showed me that even simple, reused materials can help keep water within the natural cycle.

Wahyu Sholeh Budi Santoso

Volunteer from Madiun

Biopore infiltration holes have proven to deliver tangible benefits in managing organic waste, improving soil fertility, and reducing water pooling in residential areas. Although they have limitations on a large scale, biopores remain a simple and effective solution to address environmental challenges at the household level.

Didik pramono

Volunteer from Madiun

As a biopore volunteer, while delivering presentations and educational sessions at institutions and schools, I felt a shared commitment and enthusiasm to protect the ecosystems around us. The small efforts we make today will undoubtedly create meaningful impact in the future. Let us continue to care for our environment by ensuring the sustainability of clean water in nature.
