Developed in partnership with Indika Foundation through the Impact Collaboration initiative, GerakDampak Academy ran from July to November 2025 with a clear and urgent focus: equipping young people across NTB with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take meaningful action against child marriage one of the most persistent social challenges in the region.

The program did not stop at awareness. Starting with 82 youth from 20 schools who produced 70 essays as early expressions of critical thinking, GerakDampak Academy then guided 27 selected participants through the full arc of social action from understanding the issue, to designing an intervention, to implementing it in their own communities. By the program's end, all five action plans had been executed, collectively reaching approximately 400 direct beneficiaries across NTB.
