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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
