Al-Anbiyaa', a producer of men's sarongs featuring batik, the traditional Indonesian art design commonly worn by Indonesia’s Muslim community, recognises this challenge among their employees. Many parents have no choice but to leave their children in the care of others while working to support their families. To address this, Al-Anbiyaa' aims to strengthen family support for their employees by providing a self-managed childcare centre that creates a supportive environment for parents and promotes children’s healthy development.
In addition, the company strives to empower local communities in Pekalongan, Central Java, by creating job opportunities and offering skill development programmes that support people in building sustainable livelihoods. To date, Al-Anbiyaa' has employed over 500 people and sold more than 1.5 million sarongs across Indonesia and internationally, bringing Indonesian cultural products to diverse global markets.
Looking ahead, Al-Anbiyaa’s mission is to ensure sustainable livelihoods for their employees while balancing tradition with innovation. By embracing fresh ideas and new approaches, the company aims to keep batik relevant for future generations.

Through the I-SEA Programme with Instellar, we’ll support Al-Anbiyaa’s mission, particularly by assisting them to find an ecosystem that enables continuous growth as a social enterprise. We will provide mentorship, networking opportunities, and business and resource support to help them achieve this.
We look forward to supporting them in building sustainable livelihoods for local communities while preserving batik for future generations.
