About Us
The Center for Disaster Risk Management & Community Development Studies (CDRM&CDS) is a faith-based, non-partisan development organisation that supports and facilitates humanitarian and development work in service to vulnerable people and communities in the provinces of North and West Sumatra. CDRM&CDS was established in 2007 as a department of the Universitas HKBP Nommensen located in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Working with partner Lutheran churches’ diaconal departments, we seek to transform lives through alleviating poverty, promoting justice, and realising human rights.
Our Vision
People living with dignity and empowered to achieve their universal rights.
Our Mission
Inspired by God’s love for humanity, CDRM&CDS works with vulnerable people and communities to strengthen their resilience, inclusion, and experience of gender justice. We do this in partnership with Lutheran churches, development and rights organisations.
