KAPETA Foundation
K
arya Peduli Kita (Kapeta Foundation) was established in 2002 through a family support group and substance use therapy
and rehabilitation outpatient program (or daycare), and was legally established as an organization on 24 February 2004.
Through various programs relating to substance abuse and HIV-AIDS prevention, KAPETA Foundation has attempted to aid
the recovery of individuals with SubstanceUse Disorders (SUDs) to restore social functioning and provide socio-psychological
support for people with HIV-AIDS in sustaining life. The shortage of information and education relating to substance use
and HIV-AIDS in Indonesia has given rise to various perspectives and understanding in the public eye on addiction- and
HIV-related matters. If not prevented well, stigma and discrimination will occur, resulting in further complications during
prevention and treatment. Through this understanding, KAPETA Foundation also raises e ort to bring awareness to the
individuals as well as the general public whose lives are closely related to persons with SUDs and HIV-AIDS, through provision
of information, education, and scheduled socio-psychological support. These activities are delivered in peer-group and family
support meetings, seminars, workshops, outbounds and training, which is now part of our service program to the general
public.
