AIIKU‐HAN activity was initiated by the Imperial Gift Foundation BOSHI‐AIIKU‐KAI in Japan in 1936 and has been introduced and accepted to community‐based maternal and child health development in Indonesia through the international cooperation project conducted by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in order to encourage community health activities carried out by Indonesian women volunteers. As AIIKU‐HAN activity in Japan and Dasa Wisma health activity in Indonesia have much in common, transferring concepts, methods and experiences met less obstacles when Indonesian community health volunteers learned AIIKU‐HAN activity. Experience gained while developed countries were less developed can be transferred by shifting the time‐scale of history in developed countries.
