General Manager adDue to the upcoming departure of our current General Manager, we are looking to recruit a new volunteer General Manager to continue the success of the Family Guide to Jakarta.

General Manager: Job Description

Our history

Our story starts in 2005 with the first edition of The Family Guide to Jakarta book which collected valuable information, advice and addresses from a broad range of volunteers. The aims of the book were to provide the best guide for families living in Jakarta and, from advertising, provide financial support to the Foundation for Mother and Child, Indonesia (FMCH Indonesia)

Three editions and much work later, with increasing changes in Jakarta and the rise of the internet as the most popular source of information, we decided to carefully transport all the valuable information online to make it easier to update.

In 2015, we decided to improve the website to make it look more attractive, feature a listings Directory you can easily search and to write lots of new articles about the things that matter to you.

In December 2015, we counted nearly 800 supporters of our Facebook page, nearly 800 subscribers to our enewsletter and at least 125 unique users of our website daily, amounting to 40,000 user sessions and over 90,000 pageviews per year.

All the advertising revenue from the website still supports FMCH Indonesia.
