Government Partnership
GKIndonesia collaborates with the government through various housing communities. These housing communities are called Rusunawas. Rusunawas are low rent apartment complexes that the government builds to provide shelter for underprivileged families. These families are usually relocated from areas that tend to be stricken by flood. Examples of this are houses near riverbanks or under bridges. GKIndonesia partners with the governments for over 64 towers that provide for more than 5,200 famliies located in ten different areas. The government also works with private companies to build RPTRAs, or family-friendly parks. These parks are beneficial towards the families because they comprise of facilities including a pre-school learning center, sports center, playground, and library. Since October of 2017, there have been 292 RPTRAs in Jakarta. Aside from the nation’s capital, GKIndonesia also takes care of numerous communities in Mustikasari, Pekayon and Ciliwung.

Programs
GKIndonesia provides an internship that is available for three different time periods. These include time during the summer, a semester, or a whole year. This program is open to anybody from the age of 14 to 21 who is willing to help and dedicate themselves to the foundation. GKIndonesia believes that that there is “no one too young or too poor not to be able to help in its work of building and developing communities.” Their support does not have to require specific expertise of a large amount of time, GKIndonesia appreciates every small action. An example of this is educating children. The last program is Gerbang Muda. Gerbang Muda translates to the Youth Awakening Movement. Started in July of 2017, Gerbang Muda’s mission is to encourage youth to make a change in their community. This teaches them to become influential and responsible leaders later in their lives.
