About Us

Buibu Baca Buku is a community aiming to empower Indonesian women (especially mothers!) through literacy and critical thinking skills, in supportive community networks.

Founded in 2018, we We envision a world where every woman, especially every mother, is able to make well-informed decisions to shape her own future and empower her surroundings.

We believe in the power of knowledge to transform lives and communities. Our diverse range of programs is designed to ignite minds, spark conversations, and build a brighter future for women, mothers, and their communities. Here’s how we’re making an impact:

Reading Challenge: Each year, we provide social media templates for members to set and track personalized reading goals, encouraging them to explore diverse genres and strengthen their reading habits.
Book Discussions: Lively discussions that go beyond the pages, encouraging critical thinking and diverse perspectives.
Workshops & Seminars: Online/offline learning sessions focused on practical skills and knowledge, empowering community members’ personal development and confident parenting.
Book Review & Writing Competitions: Unleash community members’ creativity and analytical skills through engaging competitions, celebrating the power of the written word.
Research Initiatives: We explore the challenges and opportunities facing women and communities, ensuring our initiatives are evidence-based and truly impactful.
Advocacy for Change: We champion policies and initiatives that promote literacy, critical thinking, and women’s empowerment, working towards systemic positive change.
Supporting Literacy & Women’s Empowerment Movements: We actively collaborate with and amplify the efforts of like-minded organizations, building a stronger collective voice for progress.

While our programs are open for everyone, we design our activities with mothers as our target group.
