Empowerment
Equipping them with skills and independence so they can create and help bring change to the people around them.
Building Independence to Make an Impact
Besides being part of the SDF family, Odapus (people living with lupus) and the visually impaired are also part of SDF's aspiration to empower every member of its family. Being empowered means being able to explore one's potential and put it into practice. That is why SDF encourages Odapus and the visually impaired through various trainings so that they do not become a burden on others. Having a limitation does not mean having to be the one receiving. SDF hopes that Odapus, the visually impaired, and everyone involved will build a "giving hand" family.

I am grateful to be part of SDF, to share experiences, share positive stories, and even find the support system I really needed. Over its 20 years of journey, SDF has carried out many activities and programs that provide moral support to the Indonesian people, especially for lupus patients and those with low vision (visual impairment). Let's join SDF, we can share, care, and also give meaning to the lives of others, because our care can save lives... your care saves lives.

SDF is a comfortable place to get to know and care for fellow people living with autoimmune conditions. SDF is the right place to learn many things, including access to spiritual facilities (online study sessions). SDF, both its founders and its administrators, radiates the warmth of a family.
