About Us

"Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and then do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] injury will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve."

Who We Are

Established in 2014, Yayasan Hati Nusantara (YAHN), formerly known as Tabung Amanah Hati Nusantara, is a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering underserved communities across Southeast Asia and beyond.

What began as a mission among close friends has now grown into a dynamic network committed to humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and community upliftment.
