Orphanages, social
entrepreneurship, management, SDGs and ISO 26.000 |
A child care home is defined as a non-profit social
organization with the responsibility of caring for, nurturing, and educating
abandoned and orphaned children, funded by incidental community donations.
The orphanage needs a certain amount of funds to meet the needs of the
children and its operating costs, which rely on donations not enough. The
most suitable solution is to run social entrepreneurship management to earn
income. This research is considered in analyzing the implementation of social
entrepreneurship management for the sustainability of orphanages, in terms of
benefits and challenges, strategies to overcome challenges, and its
relationship with the SDGs and ISO 26,000. The object of the research is
ownership in the Abhimata Orphanage and the Santa
Maria Ganjuran Orphanage. This research is
qualitative descriptive, inspiring data collection techniques, content
analysis and triangulation for data amatization,
with descriptive statistical analysis and qualitative data analysis. The
results show that the management implemented in the social entrepreneurship
of orphanages has had a positive impact on orphanages, even though the income
earned does not fully meet their needs. In addition, the social
entrepreneurship of orphanages has contributed to the national goal of
creating community welfare, as stated in the SDGs and ISO 26,000. under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution

1 Introduction
In the
era of globalization, the issue of sustainability is a major concern in various
aspects of life, including in the social sector. One of the major challenges
facing the world is ensuring well-being for vulnerable groups, such as children
living in orphanages. The United Nations through the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) emphasizes the importance of social innovation in empowering
vulnerable communities (Ministry of National Development Planning, 2021; Pristiandaru, 2023). Orphanages have a significant role in
accommodating the needs of orphans and abandoned children. However, the
operational sustainability of orphanages is often disrupted by limited
resources and funding.
In Indonesia, orphanages
face not only funding problems but also challenges in creating programs that
support the independence of foster children. The Ministry of Social Affairs
(2020) regulates various operational aspects of orphanages, but its implementation
is still limited to basic management. Social entrepreneurship emerges as a
strategic solution that can answer this challenge by integrating economic
innovation and social values (Dwianto & Pertiwi,
2018; Wibowo & Nulhaqim, 2015). In this context,
social entrepreneurship management in orphanages becomes relevant to ensure
financial sustainability while increasing the capacity of foster children.
Social entrepreneurship
combines business principles with social purpose to create sustainable impact
(Manap, 2018; Saragih, 2017). Through this approach,
orphanages can develop independent sources of income, for example through
creative and innovative skills training for foster children. Diana et al.
(2020) showed that entrepreneurship programs involving foster children can
increase their creativity and self-confidence. In addition, Silvia & Permana (2018) emphasized the importance of
entrepreneurship training strategies in increasing self-funding for orphanages.
The importance of
innovation in orphanage management has been supported by various previous
studies. Risgiyanti & Shohibul
(2019) show that community-based entrepreneurship programs can increase the
economic independence of orphanages. Another research by Karyadiputra
et al. (2019) highlights the success of information technology-based creativity
development programs in instilling entrepreneurial values in foster children.
On the other hand, a study by Rijal et al. (2018) underscores the importance of
synergy between social institutions and the business sector to support the
sustainability of social programs.
However, despite various
initiatives and research on social entrepreneurship, there are still gaps in
the implementation of these programs in orphanages. Darwis et al. (2021)
identified the lack of integration of social entrepreneurship management as a major
obstacle in achieving optimal impact. In addition, research by Sholeh et al.
(2020) found that many orphanages do not yet have adequate managerial capacity
to manage social entrepreneurship programs.
The urgency of this
research lies in the need to develop an integrated social entrepreneurship
management model to improve the sustainability of orphanages. Ahmad (2018)
explained that the content analysis approach can be used to evaluate the
effectiveness of social entrepreneurship programs in the context of orphanages.
In addition, ISO 26000 (ISO, 2010) provides guidance for applying principles of
social responsibility relevant to the objectives of this research.
This research also
provides renewal by integrating social entrepreneurship approaches in the
management of sustainability-oriented orphanages. Sumarno (2020) highlights the
importance of content analysis in understanding the dynamics of social
management and creating strategies that are relevant to the needs of the
community. In this case, the study aims to identify an effective management
model to improve the operational sustainability of orphanages through social
entrepreneurship.
The main objective of
this study is to analyze the implementation of social
entrepreneurship management in supporting the sustainability of orphanages in
Indonesia. This research also seeks to develop practical recommendations to
increase the economic independence and managerial capacity of orphanages. Thus,
the results of the research are expected to make a significant contribution in
solving the sustainability challenges faced by orphanages.
This research uses a
variety of reference sources to support the argument and analysis. For example,
Apriani et al. (2023) emphasize the importance of
social entrepreneurship as a pillar of community economic development. Research
by Wijaya et al. (2022) shows that creative economy assistance can increase the
capacity of orphanages in creating added value. In addition, research by Zainon
et al. (2020) provides an international perspective on the application of
social entrepreneurship in Malaysian orphanages.
Thus, this research not
only provides an academic contribution but also practical relevance in creating
a sustainable management model for orphanages. This research is expected to be
a guide for orphanage managers, the government, and other stakeholders in
developing effective social entrepreneurship programs.
2 Research Methods
This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze the implementation of social entrepreneurship in
PA. Santa Maria Ganjuran, Yogyakarta and PA. Abhimata South Tangerang, which aims to understand the
implementation of management, benefits, challenges, and the relationship
between these activities and the SDGs and ISO 26000. Data was collected through
direct observation, interviews, and documentation during March 2024, with a
purposive sampling technique involving 15 respondents in each orphanage,
including leaders, financial managers, caregivers, and related partners. The
data was analyzed using content analysis and
triangulation techniques to deepen the findings. In its analysis, this study
applies descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis that are organized
inductively, from data collection to conclusion drawing to achieve a
comprehensive picture of the research problem.

screen printing t-shirts are made when there is an order. The store is located
in an orphanage, open daily and guarded by an employee. The employee on guard
is one of the orphanage children who is studying at UNPAM majoring in
accounting. College time is evening so you can stay on the lookout in the store
from morning to noon. Store services can be purchased directly or ordered via Whatsapp (WA).

The Santa Maria Ganjuran Social Entrepreneurship Orphanage is a shop
business unit located separately from the orphanage. The shop is located in the
same complex as the church, right behind the church and next to the Statue of
the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Statue of the Sacred Heart of the Temple of
Jesus is a place of pilgrimage for Catholics. The pilgrimage site has holy
water that is believed to be able to cure various diseases. Pilgrims both from
inside and outside the city of Yogyakarta if they make a pilgrimage in this
place always bring home holy water.
This very strategic location is
an opportunity for the store unit managed by the orphanage. The items sold by
the orphanage are types of food and drinks, spiritual objects, ornamental
trinkets such as bracelets, bags, wallets with pictures of temple cash and
herbal medicines. Spiritual objects in the form of statues of saints, prayer
books, rosaries, candles etc. Herbal medicines such as moringa leaves, sour
turmeric, white turmeric, telang flowers etc. This
store also sells plastic bottles of various sizes. This plastic bottle is very
necessary for pilgrims who come because it is to bring home holy water.
The goods sold are given a code
and the code is a grouping of the types of goods belonging to the orphanage and
the products of the store itself and the code has been determined by a
printed register. Orphanage property means merchandise that comes from the
community around Ganjuran such as statues and food. So this orphanage is a distributor of local community
producers. Apart from being a distributor, the store's business unit also
produces its own herbal medicines.

C. Implementation of social entrepreneurship management for
the sustainability of orphanages
1) Planning
Social entrepreneurship efforts
carried out by PA. Abhimata and PA. Santa Maria Ganjuran is a store business unit that aims to earn income.
The income is expected to help fund the needs of the orphanage children, namely
food costs, education costs, cleaning costs, etc. In addition to financing the
needs of children, it is also for the operational costs of the orphanage,
namely for electricity payments, water payments, employee salary payments, etc.
Planning for the PA store
business unit. Santa Maria Ganjuran is related in
terms of procurement of goods and collaborating with suppliers. In
addition to being a distributor, they also produce their own goods. As a
distributor of PA. Santa Maria Ganjuran has an
agreement with the supplier in the form of a consignment, meaning
that the goods sold are the end of the �cooperation.
The supplier entrusts the goods to the store with a price benchmark.
Then the store provides a price to sell to consumers. Payments to suppliers
are made only for goods sold, in respect of periodic times in accordance with
the agreement. Goods in the form of light dry food, the store directly pays to� the supplier.
PA store business unit. Abhimata is a business unit as a distributor. The planning
that is carried out is that the store is always ready for goods and sold
at reseller prices, that is, the store takes merchandise from suppliers
and then sells it to consumers at a price that has been determined by the
store. However, the store also accepts ordering services. If a consumer orders
goods, it means that there is an allocation of time to prepare the ordered
goods.
2) Organizing
Organizationally, the business
unit of the PA store. Santa Maria Ganjuran is under
the leadership of the orphanage. As one of the orphanage business units, the
store has a person in charge and has employees. As the person in charge of the
store, he was given full authority by the head of the orphanage to manage all
the systems in the store. The obligation of the person in charge of the
orphanage business unit, in addition to regulating all activities in the
business of the shophouse unit, is also responsible for reporting to the head
of the orphanage, especially related to income. At the end of each month, the
person in charge of the store business unit submits a financial report and net
profit from the store's revenue for that month.
Structurally, the person in
charge of the store under the leadership of the orphanage and the leader of the
orphanage give full authority to regulate all business activities of the store.

store who has full authority from the head of the orphanage to organize all the
activities of the store. In carrying out his duties and authority, he was
assisted by five employees. The five employees have received their respective
duties. However, in carrying out these services, it is hoped that they will
help each other. The five employees include two people as shopkeepers, two
people as herbal medicine makers and one person as packing goods.
Working hours for herb making
employees and packing employees are carried out regularly. For store
maintenance employees, it is divided into three times because the store opens
at 07.00 WIB and closes at 19.00 WIB. In the duty of maintaining the store, the
person in charge of the store's business unit is involved in this task and
every day Sr. Verona, CB is always in the store.
The last shopkeeper is in charge
of printing all the sales processes that occurred that day through� the print register system.

rupiah must be paid to the supplier and how much rupiah will go into the
store's cash. At the end of the month when the cash book is closed, the person
in charge deposits the net profit from the store's business unit to the head of
the orphanage. For merchandise, the store is always ready, unless there

addition to conducting evaluations, also provided input for the development of
the store business unit.
F. Resources

graduated from vocational school and are currently studying at a college
majoring in accounting. The benefits obtained in addition to increasing
knowledge about the business world also have the opportunity to implement the

H. Challenges/obstacles that arise in the implementation of
social entrepreneurship management, both internal and external
In the Santa Maria Ganjuran Orphanage business unit, the obstacles experienced
are the limitation of places to sell, the existence of a place of business/shop
located close to the place of prayer so that it becomes a little difficult to
develop in a pure business. Consumers who come in addition to buying also have
an element of charity. For the Abhimata Orphanage
store business unit, the obstacle experienced is the number of competitors
outside who sell the same goods at a cheaper price. The second obstacle is
administrative staff. Administrative staff are orphanage children who have
graduated from high school and continued their education to the university
level. Usually, if they are already in college, the children are out of town

J. Research Linkages to SDGs and ISO 26,000
1) Linkage to SDGs
The goal of sustainable
development is the creation of a prosperous society and the earth is preserved.
In accordance with these objectives, the researcher found the relevance of this
research to the SDGs, namely:
a) SDGs No.1.2 by 2030 will reduce poverty
The social entrepreneurship
carried out by the Santa Maria Ganjuran Orphanage and
the Abhimata Orphanage has an impact on the income obtained
from the social entrepreneurship carried out by the orphanage is able to
help the orphanage in meeting the needs of children. The implementation of
social entrepreneurship carried out by orphanages is assisted by employees, so
that employees get wages so that they are able to meet the needs of their
families. In the interview, there was an employee who said that after working
at the Santa Maria Ganjuran orphanage business unit,
the employee had a house, children could go to school and had savings. The
implementation of social entrepreneurship in orphanages involves the community
and collaborates with suppliers, so that the community and suppliers
also get income.
b) SDGs No.4 on quality education
With the existence of social entrepreneurship
carried out by orphanages to help orphanages, the children of employees and
suppliers get a good education, meaning school children in formal education.
Even orphanage children are studying at universities.
c) SDGs No.4.7 on the knowledge and skills needed to improve
sustainable development.
Through interviews, it was
conveyed that orphanage children are equipped with the skills of making
rosaries, decorations, etc. as provisions after leaving the orphanage. son of
the Abhimata Orphanage who is directly involved in
handling the store business unit so that there is an opportunity to implement
the knowledge gained from college. Employees of the Santa Maria Ganjuran Orphanage store business unit gained skills in
making herbal medicines from empon-empon.
d) SGG No.8 on job creation and company growth.
With social entrepreneurship
carried out by orphanages, it is able to create jobs for employees and the
community. Mothers around the Ganjuran orphanage
leave their products at the orphanage store.
2) Linkages to ISO 26000
The goal of ISO is for
organizations to feel sustainable and have a role in improving community
development. The relevance of this research to ISO 26000 is:
a) ISO No. 6.2 on governance. A transparent, accountable
organization and accountability to its structure and policies.
b) The person in charge of the business unit of the Santa
Maria Ganjuran Orphanage and Abhimata
Orphanage stores every month submits financial reports to the orphanage
leaders.
ISO No. 6.3 on respect for human
rights.
c) In interviews with employees, it was stated that the head
of the business unit gives time to employees if there are family interests.
This shows that leadership respects human rights.
ISO No. 6.4 on employment
practices that create a good and fair atmosphere in the workplace.
d) The person in charge of the Santa Maria Ganjuran Orphanage store business unit strives to create a
pleasant working atmosphere and build cohesion, cooperation between employees
and arrange employee holidays without closing the store.
ISO No. 6.5 on the environment.
e) In front of the store, the Santa Maria Ganjuran Orphanage has prepared a spacious place to
accommodate plastic bottles. For consumers who buy broken drinks, they can
dispose of used bottles at the place.
ISO No. 6.7: Communicate honestly
about product quality to consumers.
f) During the observation, the researcher listened to what
Sr. Verona explained to consumers about the benefits of herbal medicine.
ISO No. 6.8 on community
development, namely involving the community in achieving welfare.
The results of this study show that the implementation of
social entrepreneurship management in Abhimata
Orphanage and Santa Maria Ganjuran Orphanage has had
a positive impact, although there are several obstacles faced. These findings
are in line with the research of Diana et al. (2020), which revealed that
social entrepreneurship programs can increase the creativity and confidence of
foster children. In addition, the financial benefits of social entrepreneurship
are also relevant to the findings of Risgiyanti &
Shohibul (2019), which highlights the improvement of
economic independence through community-based programs in orphanages.
In this study, social entrepreneurship in both orphanages
not only creates additional income to meet operational needs, but also
contributes to national and international goals such as the SDGs. This is in
accordance with the argument of Wijaya et al. (2022), which states that
creative economy assistance can increase the capacity of social institutions in
creating added value. In addition, a study by Zainon et al. (2020) in Malaysia
also supports the relevance of social entrepreneurship as a strategy to improve
the operational sustainability of orphanages.
However, challenges in the implementation of social
entrepreneurship, such as labor limitations and
business competition, are still significant obstacles. Similar constraints were
also identified by Sholeh et al. (2020), who found that low managerial capacity
can limit the impact of social entrepreneurship programs. Therefore, the strategies
implemented by the two orphanages, such as new product development and
aggressive promotion, are important steps to overcome these obstacles.
This research also emphasizes the importance of
integrating social entrepreneurship values with orphanage management to achieve
sustainability. Darwis et al. (2021) point out that social entrepreneurship
must be strategically managed to ensure sustainable impact. In addition,
community involvement in the production and distribution process of goods at
the Santa Maria Ganjuran Orphanage supports Wibowo
& Nulhaqim's (2015) view of the importance of
collaboration between social institutions and local communities.
From a managerial perspective, transparent financial
reporting and periodic evaluations in both orphanages are evidence of the
implementation of good governance, as recommended by ISO 26000 (ISO, 2010).
This is also relevant to the research of Ahmad (2018), which states that a
content analysis approach can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of social
entrepreneurship management.
By comparing the results of this study with previous
studies, it can be concluded that the implementation of strategic social
entrepreneurship management not only helps orphanages in achieving operational
sustainability, but also contributes to improving community welfare and
achieving sustainable development goals. This study reinforces the argument
that social entrepreneurship is a relevant solution to face sustainability
challenges in orphanages, as well as providing practical implications for the
management of social institutions in the future.
4 CONCLUSION
This study shows that the
implementation of social entrepreneurship management in Abhimata
Orphanage and Santa Maria Ganjuran Orphanage has
provided significant benefits, both in terms of finance and social. Social
entrepreneurship helps orphanages meet operational needs, create educational
and skills opportunities for foster children, and contribute to the empowerment
of local communities. However, obstacles such as business competition and labor limitations are still challenges that require more
effective management strategies.
The results of this study support
the importance of integrating the principles of social entrepreneurship to
support the sustainability of social institutions. These findings are also
relevant to the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the
implementation of governance in accordance with ISO 26000. This research
recommends strengthening collaboration with strategic partners, innovative
product development, and managerial training to increase the positive impact of
social entrepreneurship in orphanages.
