JAKARTA, Indonesia – The Jakarta Archdiocese brought together parish-based humanitarian initiatives in its first Sociopreneur Night Festival, held at the Wisma Samadi Pastoral Centre in East Jakarta.
The event aimed to inspire innovation and compassion-driven projects across the archdiocese’s 68 parishes, which span West Java and Banten provinces.
The festival featured 30 sociopreneur initiatives, presenting their work to a panel of juries that included business leaders, sociopreneurs, priests, and professionals.
It also served as a platform for sharing best practices to promote collaboration and inspire others to replicate successful programs.
“It is a forum where all parties are expected to share their best practices so that a role model for humanitarian initiatives could be publicly exposed to parishioners to replicate this good initiative for the sake of our common good,” said Father Suyadi, director of the Jakarta Archdiocese’s Charity Humanitarian Agency (LDD).
