GK Indonesia

Indonesia was the first country outside the Philippines to adopt the GK model of development, starting with the education of children in Joglo, Jakarta. The passionate commitment of their GK volunteers has brought GK to 3 communities. Gerakan Kepudulian (GK in Bahasa) is transforming the lives of the poor and the youth here. Started by Filipino expatriates, GK in Indonesia has grown into a local movement where prominent Muslims and their friends are taking ownership of the work to assist their own countrymen.

GK Indonesia (complete name is "Yayasan Gerakan Kepedulian Keluarga Harapan Indonesia") are running the different GK programs in the following sites in & around Jakarta:

1) Cisadane - 18 families. This is a complete GK village with homes (built May 2012) and various programs running.
