STRENGTHENING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: INCLUSIVE SOLUTIONS FOR EMPOWERING MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES WITH DOMPET DHUAFA

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the social entrepreneurship program implemented by Dompet Dhuafa in empowering marginalized communities in Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed with a survey method involving 120 respondents who are beneficiaries of the social entrepreneurship program. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires and interviews, while data analysis utilized multiple regression and moderation analysis. The findings reveal that the social entrepreneurship program significantly increased the average income of respondents by 80%, from IDR 1,500,000 to IDR 2,700,000 per month. Social capital was found to play a moderating role, strengthening the relationship between program intervention and socio-economic changes. This study concludes that social entrepreneurship is an effective approach to creating sustainable social impacts, although challenges remain in market access and technological integration.
