Hello!

My name is Laetania Belai Djandam and I am a young Indigenous environmental activist descending from the Dayak Ngaju - Ma’anyan tribe of Borneo.

I am a passionate advocate for healthcare and nature conservation, with a strong belief in youth and community empowerment and a holistic approach.
