WHAT WE DO
Each Pundi program begins as a foundation-led initiative and matures into a community-run projects, delivered together with dedicated operating partners, with Pundi continuing as mentor, resources steward, and connector to new resources.
​
Four programme lines, one logic:
a community that can eat, drink, earn and learn is a community that survives a crisis.

Where we work:
East Jakarta · Depok · Bogor · Bekasi · Tangerang
SDG 2, SDG 12
Food Security
Affordable nutrition delivered through community kitchens, and increasingly through the upstream production that supplies them.
Warteg Putra Bahari 132 in East Jakarta, operated with Sanjaya Group and Putra Bahari Prima, has served sub-dollar meal packages continuously since 2021 — more than 70,000 servings a year, without a single closure.
Upstream, we have piloted a 300-hole hydroponic installation at Kebun Arun to test vegetable cultivation for ingredient sourcing.
Why a kitchen and not a food parcel. A food parcel ends when the funding ends. A kitchen that trades has customers, staff, suppliers and a reason to open tomorrow. The subsidy buys affordability; the business buys continuity.
Community Kitchen
SDG 3, SDG 6
Safe Water
Treated drinking water delivered through a refill depot network operated with Depo Air Hidup, PT Graha Tirta Ventura and Ratu Naila Tirta.
The network runs across 12+ locations in five cities, reaching more than 15,000 people, supporting 30+ micro-enterprises and 50+ local jobs, and recycling one tonne of plastic to date.
Each depot is simultaneously a public health intervention and a small business with its own operator and staff — which is why the network has continued to run between funding cycles rather than pausing with them.
Independently assessed. In February 2024 an external evaluator assessed the programme using a mixed-method design: a structured survey of 130 beneficiaries and key informant interviews across nine site visits, covering two regencies and five administrative cities.
Community Access to Water
Launched in 2021 our safe water refill network has served 15K people accross 12+ locations in 5 cities, delivered together with our operating partners in refill-depot management and water logistics. Pundi now provides continued mentorship and quality oversight rather than day-to-day operations.
Clean & Healthy Behavior
Increased knowledge, understanding and adoption of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) from all stakeholders, including 50+ water refill handlers or operators, 15K+ users and the surrounding communities.
SDG 1, SDG 8
Livelihoods
Pundi is the Indonesian local partner of Partners Worldwide, a United States non-profit working on job creation in more than thirty countries. Through that partnership we hold and deliver the PW Microenterprise curriculum, supplemented by the OK OCE Indonesia social entrepreneurship curriculum.
More than 70 entrepreneurs have graduated across three provinces. Thirty percent are women-led. More than 90 percent were still trading at six-month follow-up.
Why we measure at six months, not at graduation. Graduation rates measure attendance. Six-month survival measures whether a training programme actually changed someone's income. It is the harder number to collect, and the only one worth reporting.
Community Resiliency
Empowering minds is at the heart of everything we do. By working closely with communities, local organizations, and international partners, we are able to create meaningful and lasting change. This enables the development of a community-based creative economy, encouraging collaboration and building the independence of local residents, working together with other stakeholders.
SDG 4
Next Generation
Leadership, public speaking, personal branding, financial literacy and digital skills for young people, delivered with YBKS, CBS Communications, Talenta Academy and the Serafim Praise production house.
More than 270 young people have taken part. Cohorts are delivered under the auspices of partner institutions — most consistently the Dewan Diakonia and Sie Pendidikan of HKBP Ujung Menteng — with Pundi contributing programme design, curriculum, facilitation and the direct involvement of members of its Executive Board.
Vocational Education
We do more than just provide water. We offer entrepreneurial literacy & financial literacy programs that equip individuals with the skills and resources they need to start & grow their own businesses. Since 2021 Pundi has continuously delivered training in public speaking, leadership, entrepreneurship, digital learning, and contemporary music alongside our training and network partners - reaching 70+ micro-entrepreneurs and 270+ young people to date, with new cohorts running year round.
Entrepreneurship, Financial Literacy, Public Speaking, Leadership, Digital Literacy & Music
We have held 4 batch of workshops using modules from our US-based NGO partner, PartnersWorldwide, whose materials have been used in more than 30 countries for the past decades.
We also partner with YBKS Marturia for leadership, with CBS Communications & OKE OCE for public speaking and digital learning, with HKBP Ujung Menteng for contemporary music.
