BACKGROUND

The growing urgency of social and environmental problems in Bali, and in Indonesia more broadly, shows that there is a clear need for a new generation of adaptive, innovative, and collaborative leaders, also, a new way of doing business. In 2020, the current pandemic has made social innovation & entrepreneurship more relevant and urgent than ever. There is an enormous need to build resilient communities and businesses that don’t rely so heavily on tourism and are focused on solving the most pressing social and environmental challenges we are facing.

However, there is still a clear lack of resources dedicated to support emerging leaders who are committed to addressing these issues, and who have the potential to catalyze and scale positive change and impact in their communities. These resources include training, funding, support systems, and networks that they need to grow and thrive sustainably.

That is why we established Makadaya with the goal to empower individuals and teams to build and lead social enterprises and collective impact initiatives that can produce lasting change.

OUR VISION

A thriving, decentralized social entrepreneurship ecosystem, accessible from all parts of Indonesia, with a collaborative network to bring about positive change for social and environmental challenges in Indonesia.

During the program, fellows will be given basic knowledge about social entrepreneurship and supported through individual journey and market day. Each fellow will receive 1-on-1 mentoring tailored to their individual business development needs.
