MAKADAYA UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE
Our Approach
Balinese culture recognizes a philosophy called Tri Hita Karana, or “Three Causes of Goodness,” which calls for people to live in harmony with community, with nature, and with the spirits.
Adopting this model for our programs, we believe that in order to build successful social enterprises we need to train around three interconnected areas of exploration: knowledge of issues, business skill-building and personal development. All three are vital components to making a sustainable impact on our communities.

Knowledge on social and environmental challenges.
Comprehensive understanding on the social and environmental challenges faced by communities ensures and helps changemakers in designing innovative solutions which are focused, effective, and sustainable.
