Government Grants: KSF receives grants from international government donors including the Japanese government ($117,000 for Gianyar Posyandu revitalization in 2013-2014), Australian government (2-year program in Central Jakarta, 2015-2017), Norwegian government (2-year program in West Sumba, 2015-2017), and New Zealand government (teacher training program in Surabaya primary schools).

Core offering

Kartika Soekarno Foundation delivers community-based early childhood health, nutrition, and education programs in underserved Indonesian communities. Its two core programs are the Posyandu Revitalisation Programme, which integrates early learning into traditional maternal and child health posts for children aged 0-5, and the School Based Management (SBM) education program, which trains primary school teachers and principals to improve learning outcomes for children from low-income families.

Product overview

Kartika Soekarno Foundation (KSF) is a charitable organization that does not operate as a technology product company. Instead, it delivers a portfolio of community development programmes focused on early childhood development in Indonesia. The core offerings consist of the Posyandu Revitalisation Programme (including Taman Posyandu/Posyandu Plus) for health and nutrition services, and the School Based Management (SBM) Programme for education improvement. These are complemented by teacher training and scholarship sub-programmes. The foundation works within existing community infrastructure (Posyandu health posts and primary schools) to deliver services through volunteer training, parental engagement, and local government partnerships.
