Profile
Justice and prosperity for society have been one of the main social purposes established in Indonesia. Several government institutions have made some progress in developing the value and attitude of Indonesian people. However, since there are lots of Indonesian people suffered from poverty during the economic, the social institutions cannot handle the condition themselves and some are already overtaken by local and international NGOs.
Community Development is a non-profit, independent and non-sectarian organization under Yayasan Suara Bhakti (CD-YSB) . It was founded because of being concerned to marginalized people in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. These people lack knowledge of love, justice and equality. CD-YSB is one of the working units of Yayasan Suara Bhakti that specialises in carrying out all of the social activities.
The foundation was issued by RM Soerjanto Partaningrat S.H. dated 20th July 1987-N0. 164, and was licensed in Bantul Department of Justice, No. 47/YY/1987/PN/Btl.

A. Vision
We believe that to achieve greater community welfare,
it is not enough just to solve problems as they arise.
More importantly, CD- YSB creates awareness and understanding
of the various problemsfor the members of the community,
so as to foster their sense of pride and self- determination
and to provide them with the appropriate means with
which they can deal with the problems more effectively.
B. Mission
To improve knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the target
groups by providing training facilitation, which in
turn enables them to commence and manage their productive
activity properly.

To increase the general welfare of the community through
close cooperation with the target groups or the community
themselves, as well as government, and non- government
agencies working in the field of community development.

Development - the YSB works in the following fields:
CD-YSB supports community development program, especially
in marginalized rural communities through partnerships
with some local NGOs in Yogyakarta and the Central Java

organizational capacity at the community level. CD-YSB
