YAYASAN HARAPAN PERMATA HATI KITA (YAKITA)

WHO WE ARE

Yayasan Harapan Permata Hati Kita, known as Yayasan KITA, or YAKITA was founded in May - 1999 by people whose lives were directly affected by drug addiction in their own families. Under-standing the name of our foundation would give you a basic understanding of our Foundation’s outlook regarding our work. Yayasan means foundation. Harapan Permata Hati means the heart’s jewel of Hope, which means our beloved children or loved ones, and Kita means ‘Our’ or ‘We’, which is all inclusive. No one is left out. Yayasan KITA simply means Our Foundation, or a Foundation that belongs to All of Us. YAKITA, means “Yes, Us!” YAKITA is a Community Based Non-profit Organization, founded to respond to the heartfelt concern for the increasing problem of drug abuse and addiction throughout Indonesia, and lack of sincere help in these areas. Also, it responds to drug addictions co-related problems in the areas of - Sex, HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis, Money / Economy, Crime, Violence.

OUR MISSION

Our organizations single mission is simply, “to help drug addicts recover from addiction and to help families whose lives have been affected by active addiction, by giving them a true hope to recover from addiction, restoring harmony and quality of their lives. This is given through an honest example.

OUR PROGRAM

Our Program is a “WE Program”, relying upon the age-old wisdom of ‘gotong royong’ and the warmth of an extended self-supporting family, along with its therapeutic properties. Our Programs simply wish to share withaddicts, and their families, that recovery from addiction is possible, and so is an improved quality of life. We do this by sharing our own hard gained Wisdom, Experience, Strength and Hope with one another.

 The Program(s) at YAKITA were developed by its Program Director, David Gordon, who since 1972 has been assisting addicts recover from drug addiction, both in the USA, and other countries around the world. YAKITA is also co-supported by Joyce Djaelani Gordon, who has direct experience working with young people and families since 1984 and with governmental organizations and Indonesia’s prominent NGOs, in the areas of HIV/AIDS and Health Issues, both nationally and internationally since 1987.

YAKITA strives to realize the true nature of recovery, empowerment, and service as written on its Logo. We always seek to achieve “recovery”, to construct or re-build the addicts’ sense of value and worth within their lives. We do not speak of ‘rehabilitation’; we speak about desire to Urecover - from drug addictionU, and UrecoverU our God given gifts through self-understanding, selfconfidence, and self-fulfillment - which are actual pathways to the reawaken the spirit, to serve God, and others.
