ZAKKI
Building Inclusive Futures Through Technology, STEM, and AI Education
ZAKKI (formerly named as Zakat Kasih) is a legally registered Indonesian foundation established in 2018 under Integrity Syariah Foundation. We work to expand educational opportunity, digital inclusion, economic empowerment, and community resilience for underserved communities. We serve people living in poverty, elderly individuals, persons with disabilities (PwD), women, youth, and informal-sector workers. Our guiding principle is simple: dignity, opportunity, and access should not depend on income, age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion, or social background.
Our Mission
To advance social inclusion, educational opportunity, digital literacy, and economic empowerment through technology, community engagement, and accessible STEM and AI education for underserved communities.
We aim to:
- Strengthen social protection systems for vulnerable communities
- Expand access to education, digital inclusion, and STEM learning
- Enable economic empowerment through technology-enabled tools
- Build cross-sector partnerships for sustainable community impact
- Implement lifecycle-based development across all programs
Our Vision
An inclusive society where every individual has equal access to knowledge, technology, and opportunity to thrive in the digital age. We envision a lifecycle-resilient community where every generation is prepared for dignity, independence, and participation in the digital economy.
🧭 Lifecycle-Based Empowerment Model
Poverty and exclusion are dynamic outcomes shaped across a person's entire life. ZAKKI applies a lifecycle model consisting of four interconnected phases to deliver preventive, continuous, and intergenerational impact.
Preventive Empowerment
Early digital literacy, STEM exposure, and AI awareness for children and youth.
Active Participation
Digital tools, skills training, and entrepreneurship support for working-age groups.
Active Aging
Maintaining productivity, dignity, and social inclusion for older adults.
Healthy Aging
Long-term care, support systems, and digital inclusion for elderly wellbeing.
🎯 Core Development Pillars
Social Protection
Support for elderly, PwD, and families in poverty or crisis.
Digital Inclusion
Expanding access to technology, connectivity, and digital literacy.
Economic Empowerment
Enabling micro-entrepreneurs and informal workers to generate sustainable income.
STEM & AI Education
Preparing future generations with skills for an AI-driven economy.
🚀 Integrated Programs & Initiatives
How the Ecosystem Connects
All initiatives operate as one integrated system rather than separate projects:
- MAHA EduGame → early learning and STEM foundations
- MAHA Education → AI and STEM capability building
- Rekan Learning Hub → mentorship and lifelong learning
- Kimar → economic empowerment and income generation
- ZAKKI#4U → community resource sharing
- SaveMe → digital safety and protection
- Naon → civic participation
- Agni → dignity in end-of-life support
Together, these form a lifecycle-based social infrastructure that reduces poverty risk, strengthens digital capability, and increases long-term resilience.
Who We Serve
Our programs and initiatives focus on:
- People living in poverty
- Elderly individuals
- People with disabilities (PwD)
- Low-income youth and children
- Women facing economic vulnerability

These achievements demonstrate our commitment to community service, volunteer engagement, stakeholder collaboration, and innovative solutions for underserved populations.
Accessibility Commitment
We design programs and technology that are accessible, affordable, and usable by diverse communities, including elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and users with limited digital access. We prioritize mobile-first design, low-bandwidth accessibility, and inclusive user experience.
Non-Discrimination
We provide equal access to programs and opportunities regardless of identity or background. Our programs, services, and volunteer opportunities are open to all eligible participants regardless of race, color, ethnicity, nationality, religion, age, sex, marital status, family status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, political opinion, socioeconomic status, or other protected characteristics. Diversity strengthens innovation and community resilience.
🔮 Looking Forward
As artificial intelligence transforms education, work, and society, ZAKKI is committed to ensuring that underserved communities are not left behind. Through MAHA Education and our integrated ecosystem of learning, protection, and empowerment platforms, we are building practical pathways to digital literacy, STEM capability, AI readiness, and economic inclusion. Our long-term ambition is to evolve MAHA Education into structured academic pathways, potentially expanding into formal school and university-level education in the future, once institutional capacity and funding allow.
