Commitment to People and Planet
With 24 years of involvement in the Indonesian music scene, Andien also deeply cares about educational and social issues facing Indonesian society. The Andien Aisyah Foundation is committed to continuously supporting activities that focus on sustainable human and environmental development.
Q: What inspired Andien to initiate the Andien Aisyah Foundation movement?
“My mother inspired me to do all of this. There's something my mother always says, 'The best human is one who benefits others.' It's not just words; she also walks the talk. I believe that doing good by sharing with others is a form of self-development. And my mom believes that sharing doesn't make her feel lacking, but rather empowers herself.”
Q: How does Andien define Andien Aisyah Foundation movement and its components?
“People and Planet are the two main focuses of this foundation, people and planet; both are reciprocally interconnected. So, the movements and activities we carried out always have the core in helping people and the planet. Everything can be seen on the website.”
Q: How does Andien hope Andien Aisyah Foundation will impact Indonesian society, especially the younger generation, in the long term?
“The keyword is: sustainability. As a woman and a mother, I want this foundation to bring about significant change by creating a brighter world for the next generation, especially for the Kawa and Tabi generations. I hope this can be a sustainable movement for good to help improve the lives of many people and also a sustainable movement to protect the planet Earth.”
Q: What challenges does Andien anticipate in implementing Andien Aisyah Foundation movement?
“Right from the start, the principle of this foundation is to connect donors with beneficiaries. One of the challenges is to ensure that donors are genuinely willing to donate and have an interest in an issue that requires support. And I ensure that their assistance is used effectively.”
