Go Green Education, Management, and Implementation in Al Kaaf Orphanage (Small) Foundation

Abstract

The Indonesian population is about 261 million people. A part of them is in absolute poverty. Indonesia's absolute poverty fell to 25,95 million people in March 2018 (from 27.77 million in March 2017). However, the country's relative poverty figure fell to 9,82 percent of the population in March 2017 (from 10.64 percent in March 2017). Another characteristic of poverty in Indonesia is that poverty in the rural areas is worse than in urban areas. Some of the poor people are orphans. The Al Kaaf Orphanage (Small) Foundation (TAKOSF) take care of the orphans (about 70 boys and 60 girls). Some of them who live in TAKOSF are babies of the age of 2 weeks. They lived in a rural area (1.4 ha or 14,000 squared metre) in Malang municipal.  The leader and staff teach religion, implement daily jobs, cultivate “Koi” fish and goats, and plant the vegetables and fruit trees. The leader manages the financial allocation according to the donator’s suggestions and the result of the compromises. This paper aims to indicate, to inform,  and to understand the orphans’ condition in TAKOSF. The research method uses qualitative or subjective approach. The result of this observation informs about the increasing spirit of the orphans, skills, self manage, and they also help each other. We can also see the increasing sustainability of the orphanage foundation management.
