Thank you for your interest in our project. Sahaja was founded by 5 practitioners, academics, researchers and consultans passionate about health, happy, and prosperous ageing.
Help our foundation with your donation to improve the quality of life for older people, helping them become healthy, happy, and prosperous.
The number of older people in Indonesia continues to increase year by year. As of 2023, around 12% or 29 million of Indonesia’s total population are older people, and this figure is projected to rise to 20% or around 50 million people by 2045. On the other hand, many older people in Indonesia live alone or only with their spouse. About 7.10% of older people live alone, and 22.07% live only with their spouse, without adequate family support. Moreover, many of them, around 10.04%, belong to the underprivileged group, facing difficulties in accessing healthcare services and basic needs.

Sometimes we find it difficult to get adequate medical attention, but with this community service event, we can meet doctors and nurses who are ready to listen to and respond to our concerns, which makes us very happy.
