Irvan is helping volunteers stay connected when it matters most. A long-time nonprofit social volunteer in Indonesia, Irvan has founded two national-scale organisations focused on disaster response and environmental conservation, together supporting around 6,000 volunteers. He also previously ran Indonesia’s first café to offer Suspended Coffee, quietly embedding generosity into everyday life long before it became widely known.

Right now, Irvan’s volunteer team is responding to a landslide disaster where communication on the ground is fragile. Mobile phone signals are often unreliable or completely unavailable during emergencies, making coordination difficult and slowing response times. With the $500, Irvan will purchase 10 walkie-talkies for the team — reliable, commonly used devices that allow communication across a 2–3 mile range without relying on cellular networks.

These walkie-talkies will immediately improve safety, coordination, and effectiveness for volunteers working in challenging conditions. Once purchased and distributed, Irvan and the team will document the process and share the story across their networks, showing how a relatively small investment can make a critical difference in disaster response.

This act of kindness is practical, timely, and deeply rooted in service - supporting the people who show up first when others need help most.
