WADAH Wadah Titian Harapan (‘WADAH’) is an international Jakarta-based foundation established "From women, By the community, For all."

Founded in 2008, WADAH hopes to specifically address the special needs of women as they participate in social, educational, community and cultural activities, reviving traditional arts and supporting local artisan communities to ensure sustainability of their arts and crafts. WADAH, in the Indonesian language, refers literally to a “place” but WADAH Titian Harapan embraces a broader meaning that encompasses not only the sense and spirit of place, but the home and the community where one belongs. Various other affiliated organizations in the Philippines, Malaysia and India have been initiated since.

On July 26, 2016, Wadah Titian Harapan Foundation was granted a Special Consultative Status by United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
