as an organisation that is intent on improving community
health and resilience. The scope of our new programs
throughout Nias and the Mentawais reflects what we have
learned to do well and includes SeSe (longterm recovery
following the tsunami and mother and child health),
EHOWU (community-based health program and water) and
planning for a new location in Sumbawa that will begin with
water and sanitation, building to a full mother and child
health and E-Prep if there is sufficient donor support.
SurfAiders have been wearing “Malaria sucks” T-shirts
since we began as an Non Government Organisation
(NGO) and our commitment to malaria prevention sees a
new program beginning in 2013. Insecticide-treated nets
have a lifespan of only five years and it is now time for
us to re-enact the rollout of our “Malaria Free Mentawai”
program that had reached more than 200 villlages and
hamlets by 2008.
A key theme that has emerged in 2011-2012 is our
emphasis on building close relationships with local health
care workers and district local governments and this
closely aligns our programs with Indonesian national strategies. Unlike the early years, local capacity and commitment is now visibly increasing and revitalisation of the
Posyandu system as a front-line community health service
is central to our field activities. Successfully encouraging
and training midwives and health workers in this context
is a challenge and an art that we are learning to master.
Our people are our strength and we continue to attract
great talent to the Indonesian team. The appointment of
Anne Wuijts as Country Director in 2011, with a depth
of sector experience and passion for community development, bears this out. Anne and her team have put us on a
strong footing to push forward with innovative programs in
2013 and we deeply thank our donors, both government
and private, for having the faith to propel us forward.
The future is good. We are rebranded and reinvigorated but still retain that maverick factor that is essential
to success in a remote and fragile geographical region.
Behind the scenes, the hard-working affiliate teams
in Australia, New Zealand and the United States push
on with fundraising, and the efforts of SurfAid are now
acknowledged in many places. Disaster Risk Reduction is
championed at the highest level in Indonesia and in 2012
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was recognised
by the United Nations for his commitment to the cause.
SurfAid is part of that.
We continue to believe in the Mentawai and Nias
people – their future is now.
CHAIRMAN’S
MESSAGE
Living in the remote Indonesian island chain of the
Mentawais and Nias is an existence that we in the West
can hardly imagine. Malnutrition and disease are a daily
burden and children suffering from preventable diseases
such as malaria, acute diarrhoea and respiratory disease
rarely experience care other than that provided by
despairing parents. Some mothers even give birth alone
in the forest, holding on to a tree as their only support,
and the lack of clean water and sanitary facilities conspire
to ensure the continual cycling of infectious disease. And
as natural disaster repeatedly strikes the South East Asia
region, these people are the last on the list to get help.
SurfAid is steadily and resolutely helping to change this
situation. We have now been operating far off the Sumatran
coast for over 10 years and have a humanitarian program
that stretches from disaster preparedness and rebuilding of
devastated villages through to mother and child health and
the grassroots training of local health volunteers. All in a
fragile environment where fighting disease and improving
living conditions is a very recent phenomenon.
Over the 2011-2012 reporting period, SurfAid has
continued to be impacted and corraled by the forces of
nature. The impact of our fully consuming emergency
response to the Padang earthquake in 2007 had fallen right
away and an audit of the Nias community health program
in May 2010 had set the scene for a comprehensive review
of what was achievable and measurable in our remote
island locations. Midstream with change, the tsunami which
struck the Mentawai Islands on 25 October 2010 hurtled us
back into emergency response mode. The four-metre wall of
water that arrived without warning devastated many villages
and again SurfAid delivered, this time under the glare of
the international spotlight. The tsunami response and
early recovery programs continued until December 2011
and certainly were the most comprehensive and effective
that SurfAid has delivered to date – a great tribute to Alan
Rogerson, our Country Director at that time, and his team.
Beyond emergency preparedness and response
programs in the Telos and Mentawais, we continue to evolve
OUR MISSION
The mission of SurfAid, a non-profit
humanitarian organisation, is to
improve the health, wellbeing and
self-reliance of people living in
isolated regions connected to us
through surfing.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
SurfAid continues to be fortunate in attracting dedicated
and passionate people to work for us, both in the field
in Indonesia and in our affiliate organisations in Australia,
New Zealand and the United States of America. The
worldwide SurfAid network is made up of: •
An Indonesia-based team responsible for day-to-day
program management and delivery of our health,
disaster preparedness, and water and sanitation
programs. •
Staff based in New Zealand, Australia and the United
States fulfilling administrative and fundraising needs. •
Volunteer Affiliate Boards and International Board
who provide strategic direction and organisational
support.
•
Global partners, individual donors and corporate
sponsors, who are the financial lifeblood of the
organisation.
•
Worldwide volunteers who make our goals attainable
through their dedication and continued effort.
Our frontline workers are the Indonesian field staff who
strengthen the capacity of local communities and regional
government to support sustainable health systems. During 2011-12, on average we employed 95 Indonesian
nationals on a range of programs including Emergency
Recovery in the Mentawai Islands. We commenced the
year with four expatriate staff working with our team on
management and capacity development; in March 2012,
we had two expatriates in field roles. Our field staff work
under difficult and challenging circumstances, and with
great stamina and determination, to bring positive change
to remote communities.

SurfAid’s challenge: to prevent disease, suffering and
death in remote areas of Indonesia.
Living in remote, isolated areas means that you do not
have access to basic services. It means suffering preventable diseases such as malaria, acute respiratory infections
and diarrhoea. It means your children are malnourished
and are not able to go to a clinic. It means giving birth
alone, holding on to a tree as your only support. It often
means living in fragile or volatile environments, without
clean water or sanitation, and it means you are last on
anybody’s list when a natural disaster strikes.
SurfAid believes this is unacceptable. That is why
SurfAid operates in remote areas to support vulnerable
communities with health promotion, disease prevention
and disaster risk reduction. We run our programs in the
Mentawai Islands, 150km off Indonesia’s West Sumatran
coast, Nias Island, 125km off the North Sumatran Coast
and two strings of islands near Nias and the Mentawai,
called the Telo Islands and Banyak Islands.
Fighting diseases and improving living conditions is
tougher than it seems. There are many different and interlinked factors that contribute to the situation. Any solution
needs to take into account these different factors and find
creative ways of tackling them.
SurfAid provides very practical support such as
materials to build water tanks, water taps and toilets for
clean water and sanitation, mosquito nets to avoid malaria,
and vegetable seeds to help establish nutrition gardens to
eradicate malnutrition. But it is the capacity building of
community health volunteers, school children, community
members and relevant government staff that really lies at
the heart of what we do.
SurfAid is passionate about empowering communities to help themselves. Hardware is important, but not
enough to address health, sanitation and nutrition issues.
Behaviour change is needed to stop pregnant women and
children from dying.
Our community-based health programs centre around
creating local capacity to deliver and support sustainable positive change on such topics as nutrition, hygiene,
healthy environments and disease prevention. And at
the same time we channel practical support - including
mosquito net distribution. In response to an unfortunately
frequent need, we have built an award-winning capacity
in Emergency Preparedness and have delivered practical,
locally-based Emergency Responses.
Last year we concluded our Mentawai Island Emergency
Recovery Program, while commencing a much needed
emergency preparedness program in West Sumatra.

by the field staff. This office had reliable Internet access
and was key to the success of the South Pagai operations,
and the liaison with the local government.
It is a testament to the fortitude and strength of character
of the SurfAid staff that the Emergency Recovery Project
met its objectives. Health services were restored to relocated
communities and clean water was made available. Hygiene
promotion programs were implemented and the communities’ resilience was strengthened. Training programs
were introduced in anticipation of another earthquake and
tsunami and government capacity was developed, plus
local NGOs were mentored. For several months SurfAid
was the one constant in these remote and disadvantaged
Mentawai communities.
The Emergency Recovery project ended in November
2011. Many of the component activities of the project were
designed to ensure communities, government employees
and staff from collaborating NGOs were left in a position to
design, implement and monitor their own community health
programs. It is particularly significant that SurfAid was able
to assist YRSM (Yayasan Reiner Schefold Mentawai), one of
the very few indigenous Mentawai NGOs.
It is official that SurfAId implemented the Emergency
Recovery Project successfully. The key donors undertook
an audit in August 2011 and reported favorably on what
they saw. AusAID and the New Zealand Aid Programme
were more than satisfied with what they saw, and they
acknowledged the complications caused as a consequence of the extreme isolation, the difficulty in communication and the weather.
A total of 4,015 families (15,668 beneficiaries)
received some level of assistance via the program, spread
throughout 63 hamlets, 11 villages and four sub-districts.
The Emergency Response and Recovery Program
delivered a series of eight different project components
at various times across three of the major islands in the
Mentawai. The program was relatively short term, and the
implemented project components ranged from three to
nine months in duration.
21 November 2010 – 30 November 2011
Some of the initial work undertaken in the post-tsunami
Emergency Recovery Project in Mentawai has been
reported in the 2010/2011 Annual Report. By April 2011,
the Emergency Recovery Project was fully underway.
During the course of the next eight months there were
as many as seven projects being implemented simultaneously across three islands. The individual projects are
outlined here, together with their key achievements, and
with a description of how each of the project components has impacted on the target communities, and target
groups within communities.
SurfAid was able to design, implement and manage
such a wide range of projects by taking the decision to
work with partner organizations. This approach allowed us
to increase the number of target areas, and to implement
projects with a high level of technical component.
Throughout this process we retained our focus on collaboration, community facilitation, mentoring and liaison with
the local government.
The work was challenging, the locations were remote,
and the local government was stretched. The communities were traumatized, and many of our partners had lost
family members in the tsunami. There were challenges of
logistics and communications. The rainy season seemed
to last forever, and every week saw another Non Government Organisation (NGO) withdrawn from the Mentawai.
Many of the communities of South Pagai that were
worst affected by the tsunami had already relocated by
April 2011. While their new locations were safe from the
risk of tsunami, they were far from services and government support, and in areas with poor road access and
phone reception. Plus they had no immediate livelihood
opportunities as they had left their crops behind on the
coast. SurfAid’s response was to establish an office in
Sikakap, and to work hard to reduce the hardship faced

relocated South Pagai communities. The
target of 45 litres of water per person
per day has been achieved in six of the
communities served by water pumps.
Long-term sustainability of inputs, and
viability of the equipment, is ensured
by training key community members in
maintenance.
Key community members trained in
hygiene promotion and in identifying and
mitigating risk factors.
•
Results of latrine construction were
disappointing, possibly related to the short
duration of the project and the schedule
coinciding with the government road
construction project.

Qualitative assessment on
impact in the community
Seeds and education/training were provided
to encourage families to grow their own
vegetables. One hundred and seventy eight
families received seeds to start vegetable
gardens and 73% of families successfully
planted the seeds.
Community-based disaster risk management
(DRM) activities implemented in vulnerable,
coastal communities in North and South Pagai.
Establishment of formal community groups
trained in DRM, and empowered to manage
local DRM inputs.
Focus on schools, with training of teachers
and students, and establishment of “Prepared
Schools” in target communities.
Training programs designed and implemented
for community-level and local government.
•
Open defecation reduced from 90% (before
the intervention) to 37% (afterwards).
•
Improved hygiene practices. 37% of the
total households in three hamlets have
gained their ODF (Open Defecation Free)
status (improved by 27%).
•
Key community members trained in hygiene
promotion and in identifying and mitigating
risk factors.
•
Key community members empowered
to monitor improvement in hygiene
conditions, and long-term reduction in
open defecation.
•
Community members were trained to
analyse food consumption, and ensure an
adequate amount of protein in the diet of
children and pregnant women.
•
A new level of awareness of the
significance of food quality has resulted
in a long-term commitment to develop
vegetable gardens.
•
Malnutrition rates have slightly decreased
by 8% (based on WAZ) while slightly
increased by 4% (based on HAZ). These
changes may not be significant.
The community knowledge on E-Prep has
increased by 19%, the awareness has
increased by 38% and the behaviour has
increased by 46%.
Local capacity in DRM has improved
community resilience and reduced the
probability that communities will relocate.
Prepared Schools provide confidence for
parents that plans and training are in place
to cater for a natural disaster during school
hours.
Measurable improvement in local government
capacity ensures DRM is prioritised, long-term
planning is implemented and community
awareness is up-to-date.

HEALTH PROGRAM
Last year SurfAid’s Health Program focussed mainly on
Nias with the goal to reduce maternal and under-five
child mortality and morbidity in Nias. The health program
focusses on revitalising community health centres, which
have a front line role to play in delivering basic health
services to mothers. Capacity building for community
health volunteers and within the health departments is key
to secure positive results and sustainability. This approach
has been instrumental in developing the relationship
between the health providers and the communities they
serve. SurfAid, Posyandu staff (community-based health
services), Puskesmas (subdistrict level health centres)
staff and Kaders (community health volunteers), and the
communities themselves, join forces to improve the health
status of mothers and children in Nias.

The goal of EHOWU is to significantly improve Mother
and Child Health (MCH) status in Hiliduho Subdistrict,
Nias Induk District. The medium and short-term outcomes
are ‘Effective and Sustainable Basic MCH care in Hiliduho
Subdistrict’. To achieve this, the work is based on three
pillars:
In June 2011, a formal review of the program recommended SurfAid phase out of the many different locations
with a stronger focus on fewer areas with fewer activities
to achieve greater sustainable impact.
A series of phasing-out activities were conducted at
various levels in three districts in Nias (North, South and
Nias) to ensure local government and communities would
be able to continue to work together on achieving positive
health results. The South Nias Government has adopted
and incorporated the water facilities program in their
annual program, and announced this during Musrenbang
(local development needs meeting).
The result of the refocus is a smaller, streamlined
program that will start on 1 July 2012 under the name
EHOWU (Enhance Health of Women and Under five
children). And while this may sound convoluted as an
acronym, it actually means ‘healthy’ in the old local Nias
language. Currently the word has fallen in disuse, and is
replaced by a word meaning ‘not sick’. By adopting the
old Nias word for Healthy in our program, and bringing
a focused health program to a smaller geographical area,
we are sure that we can bring ‘health’ back into Nias. This
new focus is supported with an extension of the CBHP II
funding up to November 2014.
1. Twenty one functional Posyandu across 13 villages of
Hiliduho subdistrict
2. Improved community knowledge and practice on
MCH and improved access to safe water
3. Effective Puskesmas support for basic MCH activities
In the Mentawai, the new Health Program SeSe is just
starting again after the focus had to switch to immediate
Emergency Early Recovery Program after the devastating
tsunami.
The goal of SeSe, which means ‘appropriate’ in the local
Mentawai language, is to significantly improve the health
status and preparedness for economic activities for 14
tsunami-affected communities in South Pagai, Mentawai
Islands. The program is source funded by MFAT, New
Zealand Aid Programme, and started on 1 April 2012.

across the Mentawai Islands (West Sumatra Province),
Banyak Islands (Aceh Province) and Telo Islands (North
Sumatra Province) with a program period of three years
that commenced on 1 June 2011 through to 31 May
2014.
The objective of the program is to reduce and manage
the risk associated with the occurrence of earthquakes
and tsunamis in the region, and to increase the rate at
which targeted communities will be able to recover from
any major event. The outputs are:
The goal of this program is to increase community
awareness and provide the communities living on islands
off the western coast of Sumatra with effective strategies
to reduce and manage the risk associated with the occurrence of earthquakes and tsunamis in the region, and to
increase the rate at which they will be able to recover from
any major event. Through implementation of this activity,
a disaster risk mitigation strategy will be developed which
will minimize the loss of life directly from a disaster, and
indirectly through health-related effects, and will offset the
potential long-term loss of livelihoods. This program was
designed utilising the lessons learned and best practices
of the previous E-Prep programs including the E-Prep
Road Show funded by NZAID and the three-year E-Prep
program funded by AusAID.
This program is funded by MFAT as part of the Sustainable Development Fund (SDF) that covers 28 communities

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012
The following financial statements are for the year ended
31 March 2012 and represent the combined financial
information of the SurfAid International affiliates of New
Zealand, USA, Australia and SurfAid Indonesia. They have
been prepared on the basis of annual costs and incorporate judgements in accordance with general accepted
accounting principles.
Revenue is recognised, for all unrestricted monies, on
a cash accounting basis in the year that the donor makes
a financial contribution to SurfAid. Revenue for restricted
funds in relation to specific programs are recognised
under the accrual accounting principle together with the
matching principle. This results in revenue and expenses
being recognised in the year the program is delivered. Net
assets records the amount of funds unrecognised and
available to SurfAid for future years based on program
delivery.
Each affiliate has their own Financial Statements independently audited: Redfern & Company (SurfAid USA),
Crowe Horwath Sydney (SurfAid Australia) Coats Associates Limited (SurfAid New Zealand) and Kosasih, Nurdiyaman, Tjahjo & Rekan, a member firm of Crowe Horwath
International (SurfAid Indonesia). At time of report SurfAid
Indonesia affiliate is completed waiting for the auditors’
signature.
Audited financial accounts for all affiliates are published
on SurfAid’s website. (www.surfaid.org)
