According to the Charities Aid Foundation’s (CAF) most recent World Giving Index, Indonesia is once again the most philanthropic country in the world. This is the sixth straight year that Indonesia has topped the list, demonstrating the country’s generosity.
Based on the survey conducted by Gallup across over 140 countries, the report delves into various aspects of charitable giving, including helping strangers, donating money, and volunteering for noble causes.
The World Giving Index highlights six key findings that offer insights into charitable trends across the globe. As outlined on the CAF’s official website, Indonesia’s dominance is indisputable with a remarkable score of 74 points. Nine out of ten Indonesians make monetary donations and more than six out of ten dedicate their time to volunteer work for good causes.
