Jiwa

/ jee-wah /

noun

  1. The Indonesian word for soul

  2. The totality of the person as a center of life, emotions, feelings, and longings.

  3. The spiritual essence of a person.

We all are on a journey. For the estimated 167 million migrant workers around the world, that journey takes them far from friends, family, and their home country. In pursuit of a better life for their families, these migrant workers need to overcome the challenges of being far away from home as well as often facing exploitative labor practices, abuse, and isolation. 

​

Jiwa International is a faith-based organization that joins these migrant workers on their journey. As we journey together, Jiwa works to identify and meet their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
