Indonesia for Humanity (IKa) is a resource organization providing much needed resources to marginalized communities. IKa’s activities to achieve this include mobilizing resources to support community movement initiatives, developing a solidarity economy model, and developing knowledge and networks.
Resource mobilization is implemented through the Pundi program. The Pundi program is both a tool for raising funds and the means by which IKa provides services to support marginalised communities in the form of trust funds, change movements, and thematic issues/themes.
IKa’s involvement in the development of the solidarity economic model aims to strengthen the connectivity of various social and economic movements and to encourage local self-sufficiency to build the social, economic and cultural resilience of local communities. IKa’s strategy for developing the solidarity economy model includes: awareness raising in the community, activating learning forums and capacity-building. IKa has been inspired to adopt the solidarity economy model by the worldwide movement that is working to change the economic paradigm from one that prioritises profit and growth to one that prioritises harmony between humans and nature, with the goal of encouraging a just and dignified society.
The development of knowledge and networks as resources is undertaken by engaging in the growing discourse on philanthropy and strengthening civil society organizations and their target communities. IKa’s engagement in this area includes developing study programs, facilitating sustainability forums for civil society organizations, harnessing learning for target communities, and participating in networks at both the national and international levels.
