Yayasan Gita Pertiwi

What Yayasan Gita Pertiwi does

Yayasan Gita Pertiwi is a privately held Indonesian nonprofit foundation (yayasan) headquartered in Solo (Surakarta), Central Java, with operational presence across multiple districts including Klaten, Wonogiri, Boyolali, Semarang, Grobogan, and Aceh Besar. The foundation was active as LSM Gita Pertiwi from 1999 (Ford Foundation-funded social forestry in Boyolali and Grobogan), formalized as a yayasan, and has run a continuous programmatic cadence since the 2006–2007 Klaten earthquake response. It currently operates with approximately 12 employees and is led by Director Titik Eka Sasanti.

The foundation's offerings are program-based rather than product-based and span four interlocking domains: (1) regenerative and organic agriculture — including a Farmer Field Laboratory in Karang Lo, Polanharjo, organic liquid fertilizer (POC) protocols yielding a documented 1 ton/hectare productivity uplift at Kwarasan, botanical pesticide development (rice husk and coconut-shell smoke liquids, herbal pest mixtures), biological control of brown planthopper, local seed purification (Rojopusur at 7.1 t/ha, Situ Bagendit at 6.9 t/ha), and SRI methods; (2) livelihoods and handicrafts — traditional ATBM lurik weaving with 754 artisans across 12 Cawas villages, IACCB cattle-breeding tools (CALPROS/CALFIN), and KOMPAK healthy rice ('Orisa Hijau'); (3) WASH and community sanitation — communal septic tanks, STBM implementation, and maternal-child health, including a 71-household (318-beneficiary) program in Jomblang; and (4) urban environmental governance — green city programming, market exploration events (Pasar Jebres), and excess-food-sharing (Ramadhan Ceria Pangan). Distribution occurs through the wholly owned KSU Pertiwi Hijau cooperative, the Gita Sejahtera cooperative, six producer plus two collective weaving outlets, and the KOMPAK/Orisa Hijau rice channel moving roughly 1.5 tons monthly in Soloraya.

Revenue is derived from three streams: international development grants (Ford Foundation, AusAID via YCAP-AIP, USAID/IUWASH, GEF SGP/UNDP, IACCB), CSR partnerships (PT TIV Klaten, AQUA/Danone), and agricultural/handicraft product sales through cooperatives and outlets. GTM is community-led and channel-partner-driven: the foundation reaches beneficiaries through farmer field schools (Sekolah Lapang), participatory action research, training workshops, and multi-stakeholder collaborations with government, universities (UTP, UNS), and international NGOs (Rikolto, IUWASH). The fully owned subsidiary is KSU Pertiwi Hijau; parent entities are absent.
