Dewa Dewi Ramadaya<\/strong><\/h4>\n\nOne of ALIT’s latest initiatives is the Dewa Dewi Ramadaya (DDRD) program. A collaboration with Kindermissionswerk, DDRD aims to enhance children’s life skills through local cultural practices to build resilience and self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n\n
DDRD operates in several villages in Surabaya, Sumenep, Batu, Pasuruan, Jember, Banyuwangi, Gilianyar, and Sikka, in cooperation with the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.<\/p>\n\n
“This program focuses on ensuring children’s rights and fostering child-friendly villages by offering free learning classes that include life skills, historical literacy, science, environmental studies, and local traditions,” she stated.<\/p>\n\nUNAIR Traditional Medicine student and DDRD Village Ambassador from Sikka cultivates edible flowers in ALIT-Assisted Village in Bromo (Photo: Personal Documentation)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nAfter three years, an international evaluation revealed that DDRD achieved an impressive 75-80% success rate across various categories. Umrah hopes the government will adopt DDRD, as it significantly contributes to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n\n
“The program’s foundation on local cultural values, known as ‘hasta brata<\/em>,’ has achieved remarkable results. The Dewa Dewi Ramadaya approach could also be a model for other countries,” she elaborated.<\/p>\n\nALIT also collaborates with 东京热 through field practice courses (KKN) and research projects to advance the development of its partner villages. It has been successfully implemented in Pasuruan and Jember.<\/p>\n\n
“Many students accepted into UNAIR were once village ambassadors in the DDRD program. Upon graduation, they are encouraged to return to their villages, continue the DDRD initiatives, and develop their communities independently,” she added.<\/p>\n\n
