HI MATE: The Humanitarian Mobile Unit to Assist Disaster Survivors. What is a Humanitarian Mobile Unit?
11 March 2025
A humanitarian mobile unit is a specially designed vehicle to provide assistance to communities affected by disasters. One notable initiative in Indonesia is HI MATE, which serves as a mobile kitchen and assistance center for disaster survivors.
When a disaster strikes, access to clean water and emergency aid often becomes a major challenge. HI MATE is here to ensure these basic needs are met, providing warm beverages, clean water, and serving as a brand awareness platform for partners who wish to engage in meaningful social actions.
Advantages as a Humanitarian Mobile Unit
- High Mobility – Reaches affected areas quickly and efficiently.
- Quick Serve Mobile Kitchen – Provides clean water and warm beverages to survivors.
- Brand Awareness Platform – An opportunity for partners to show tangible concern.
- Trusted & Experienced – Operates in various disaster-affected regions with a proven track record.
Present and Actively Engaged in the Midst of Crisis
When a major fire hit Kemayoran, many families lost their homes in a matter of hours. HI MATE arrived with its mobile kitchen, distributing clean water and warm beverages, offering some comfort amidst the hardship.
In remote West Java, in 3T areas (Underdeveloped, Frontier, and Outermost), access to clean water remains a major challenge. With the help of local leaders who care about humanitarian issues, HI MATE ensures that the local population gets access to safe drinking water.
Even in non-disaster situations, HI MATE is still active. During the Jungle Survival Training in Cidahu, held in cooperation with BASARNAS, HI MATE played a role in supporting disaster mitigation preparedness. The clean water provided ensured that each participant received their basic needs during the training.
Why Are Humanitarian Mobile Units Like HI MATE So Important?
In every disaster response, speed and readiness are key factors. HI MATE ensures that survivors immediately receive their basic needs. Its presence is not just about providing aid, but also about bringing hope in the midst of difficult circumstances.
