A non-profit foundation rooted in Kampung Sitanala
Yayasan Agape Hijau Abadi takes the legal form of a Yayasan (foundation) under the law of the Republic of Indonesia — not a company, and not a profit-oriented organization.
Evergreen Love is the English name of Yayasan Agape Hijau Abadi — “Agape” means love, and “Hijau Abadi” means evergreen. This is why the foundation’s official website is evergreenlove.id.
Vision
A Kampung Sitanala community that is healthy, educated, and living in equal dignity — free from the stigma that has long attached to people affected by leprosy and their families.
This vision is expressed through the three fields of activity set out in Article 2 of the Akta Pendirian: social, humanitarian, and religious affairs.
Mission
- To provide education and learning support for children in the foundation's neighborhood.
- To organize social service activities and health care for residents in need.
- To provide assistance to families in poverty and to victims of natural disasters.
- To strengthen community life and accompany families facing hardship.
Our values
Love given unconditionally and without distinction between those who receive it.
Every resident is served as an equal person, not as an object of pity.
Our work is carried out inside the village continuously, not as a one-off visit.
Legal identity, officers, and the use of funds are reported openly.
History
Kampung Sitanala, in Kelurahan Karang Anyar, Kecamatan Neglasari, Kota Tangerang, grew up around the Sitanala leprosy hospital. For several generations, people affected by leprosy and their families have lived in the RW 013 neighborhood and have faced social stigma that limits their access to education, work, and general health services. The village is now home to approximately 1,400 households, around 4,500 residents — the entire service area of the foundation lies within it.
The Sitanala leprosy hospital was founded on 28 July 1951. Until 1980 the government placed people affected by leprosy in the RW 013 neighborhood, forming five sub-villages (RT 001 to RT 005) that are still inhabited today. Indonesia has the third highest number of leprosy cases in the world. After the government declared the disease brought under control, attention to the residents of this neighborhood fell away sharply — and that is where the foundation works.
Work in the Sitanala community began in 2017, together with a supporting community from Korea. To continue and expand that work so it could run officially, sustainably and accountably, Yayasan Agape Hijau Abadi was formally established on 30 June 2021 and registered with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
That establishment was made through Akta Pendirian (deed of establishment) Number 05 before Notaris DR. Diana Ria Winanti Napitupulu, S.H., M.H., M.Kn., M.Sc. in Kota Tangerang Selatan. The founder on record is Milton Hasibuan, S.H., M.H.
