We have a big announcement to make
First and foremost, thank you for all of your support in the last 5 years
The idea of Nafas came out of us being born and raised in Jakarta
When we first started thinking about Nafas, our vision was simple
How can we make access to healthy air quality easy and affordable
And since starting up in 2020 we’ve done some amazing things
We installed over 200 monitors in 25 cities, the largest outdoor network in Indonesia
We launched the Nafas app that’s been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.
We released thousands of pages of data with Nafas Buka Data
You can read some of them here
We contributed to research papers from places like University of Chicago, UI, Trisakti, ITB, IPB and many others.
You can read some of them here
We participated in government policy discussions
And even President Jokowi saw our data being presented to him in a cabinet meeting
Doing all of these things has been incredibly rewarding, but it’s become a bit of a side quest from our mission
How can we make access to healthy air quality easy and affordable
That’s why moving forward we will be evolving - we’ll tell you how over the next few days
But in the meantime, we wanted to announce that we have officially started
Nafas Foundation
Nafas Foundation will continue to do all of these things that we have done - the data, the network, the reports and the research.
Except for one big difference.
Now you can participate directly.
We have opened up three different ways that you can contribute:
- You can donate to Nafas Foundation - all proceeds will go to making sure that a third party air quality network is always available for everyone for free.
All donations will be done through KitaBisa - which you can access here - You can buy a sensor, install it at your house and become a data contributor
If you are interested, please send us an email to [email protected] - Your company can join the Plant a Sensor CSR program - in this program, Nafas Foundation will work with companies to install more sensors, launch new cities and increase awareness about the public health problem which is caused by air pollution
We are really excited with these changes.
But most excited that the largest outdoor network in Indonesia can grow even more, together with you.
Don’t forget to follow Nafas Foundation on Instagram, on Twitter we will be converting the Nafas account to Nafas Foundation.
If you would like your company to join the Plant a Sensor program, send us an email.
And once again
Thank you for your support, comments, feedback and criticisms that have helped Nafas become what it is today.
If you’d like to ask us anything, feel free to respond here too.
Signed,
Nathan & Piotr
