History

Yayasan Kemanusiaan Ibu Pertiwi (YKIP) was established on 12 October 2002, as a response to the 2002 Bali bombings. The initial organization was the Bali Recovery Group, which spent the first six months after the bombing providing support to the various NGOs who came in to help with the relief operations.

In 2003, YKIP began focusing exclusively on helping the victims of the 2002 incident. After the victims' basic necessities were fulfilled, YKIP started to focus on health and education issues, and conducted projects aimed at those living in poverty in Bali.[ citation needed ]
