I believe that social entrepreneurs are keys to breaking cycle of poverties plaguing underprivileged communities. Current digital age provides golden opportunities for them to start online businesses with relatively low cost. However, digital skill trainings and entrepreneurship education is hardly accessible for underprivileged individuals. Therefore, Aku Bisa aims to solve this issue.
Aku Bisa curriculum covers everything a person needs to know to start a business starting from introducing entrepreneurship concept, research skills, product development, packaging design, pricing strategies, marketing tools (including social media marketing), digital marketplace, up to how to run day to day operation of the business (simple accounting and finance, organization structure, etc.). The curriculum is taught through 17 lesson plans. Every lesson starts with a game and include project-based learning and presentation opportunities to train their collaboration and public speaking skills. Aku Bisa mentoring team has adopted this curriculum to provide hands-on training to more than 100 young people in Indonesia and Singapore. To date, they have launched 3 ventures under Mr. Crispy, Mr. Crispisang, and Arupik brand. These products are currently sold through social media channels and digital marketplaces.
Aku Bisa's curriculum has been adopted to provide hands-on mentoring to more than 100 people in Indonesia and Singapore.The curriculum has also been shared with several other social organizations working with underprivileged young people in Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines, thus impacting the lives of upwards of 350 teenagers. Furthermore, anyone or any organizations are also free to download the curriculum and lesson plans from Aku Bisa's website and social media channels, thus further widening the impact.
