Emphasizing vision, capacity building, networking, and advocacy for those at the lowest end of the social scale - poor single women heads of households - the PEKKA spark has become a blaze that seemed ready to ignite a national movement. A program that helps the individuals that most aid programs pass over - widows and single women household heads, PEKKA also seeks to embolden poor Indonesian women to take charge of their lives and engage in the development cycle as a cooperative bloc.lt;BRgt;en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO FINANCEACCESS TO HEALTHACCESS TO HEALTH CAREACCESS TO RESOURCESADULT EDUCATIONADVOCACYARMED CONFLICTBANK CREDITBANK LOANBANKSBASIC SKILLSBIASESBLOCK GRANTSBORROWINGBREADWINNERBREADWINNERSBULLETINBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS MANAGEMENTBUSINESS TRAININGCAPACITY BUILDINGCENTER FOR WOMENCHRONIC DISEASECITIZENSCIVIL RIGHTSCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOMMUNITY EDUCATIONCOMPENSATIONCOMPLICATIONSCOMPULSORY EDUCATIONCONFLICT RESOLUTIONCOOPERATIVESCOUNTERPART FUNDSCOURTCOURTSDECADES OF WARDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDISABLEDDISSEMINATIONDIVORCEDIVORCED WOMENDIVORCESDOMESTIC ABUSEDOMESTIC VIOLENCEDROPOUTEARNINGSEARTHQUAKEECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC STATUSEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMEMPOWERING WOMENEMPOWERMENTEMPOWERMENT OF WOMENENROLLMENTENTREPRENEURIAL EFFORTSENTREPRENEURSEXAMSEXCHANGE RATEEXCLUSIONEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESEXTENDED FAMILYFAMILIESFAMILY LAWFAMILY MEMBERSFEMALEFEMALE HEADSFEMALE HEADS OF HOUSEHOLDFEMALE HEADS OF HOUSEHOLDSFEMALE VICTIMSFEMALESFINANCESFINANCIAL AIDFINANCIAL RESOURCESFUNCTIONAL LITERACYGENDERGENDER DISCRIMINATIONGENDER EQUALITYGENDER ISSUESGOVERNMENT AIDHARASSMENTHEADS OF FAMILYHEADS OF HOUSEHOLDSHEADSCARVESHEALTH CAREHEALTH EDUCATIONHIGH SCHOOL EDUCATIONHOMEHOME AFFAIRSHOME VISITSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLDSHOUSESHUMAN BEINGSHUMAN RIGHTSHUSBANDHUSBANDSILLITERACYINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINFANTINFORMAL SECTORSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL BANKJUDGEJUDGESJUSTICELABOR FORCELEADERSHIPLEADERSHIP PROGRAMLEARNINGLEARNING CENTERSLEGAL AIDLEGAL PROTECTIONLEGAL REFORMSLEGAL RIGHTSLEGAL STATUSLIBERTYLIMITED RESOURCESLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMARITAL STATUSMARRIAGE LAWMARRIAGESMEDICAL STAFFMFIMICRO FINANCEMICRO-ENTREPRENEURSMICROCREDITMICROFINANCEMICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONMICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONSMIDWIVESMIGRANTMOTHERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL LEVELNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNEW BUSINESSESNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSNURSESNUTRITIONOLDER WOMENOUTREACHPEACEPERSONAL SAFETYPOLITICAL RIGHTSPOLITICAL TURMOILPOLYGAMYPOOR WOMENPREJUDICEPRIMARY SCHOOLPRINT MEDIAPROGRESSPROSTITUTIONPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC PERCEPTIONSPUBLIC POLICYRADIORADIO STATIONSREADINGREGIONAL NETWORKSRELIGIOUS LEADERSRELIGIOUS SERVICESREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRESIDENCERESPECTREVOLVING FUNDSRURAL COMMUNITIESSAVINGSSCARCE RESOURCESSCHOLARSHIPSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL SUPPLIESSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSELF-CONFIDENCESELF-ESTEEMSEXSHELTERSINGLE WOMENSMALL BUSINESSSMALL BUSINESS OWNERSSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL BARRIERSSOCIAL CHANGESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EMPOWERMENTSOCIAL FUNDSOCIAL PRESSURESOCIAL PROBLEMSSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL STRUCTURESOCIAL UNRESTSOCIAL WELFARESPECIESSTART-UPTEACHERSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSPORTATIONTREATYUNIONUNIONSUNMARRIED WOMENVICTIMSVILLAGEVILLAGE CHIEFSVILLAGESVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENVOCATIONAL TRAININGVULNERABLE GROUPSWARWATER SUPPLYWIDOWSWIFEWILLWIVESWOMANWOMEN HEADS OF HOUSEHOLDSYOUNG MENYOUNG PEOPLE10.1596/20818
