Abstract: This article examines social service delivery through the social enterprise model of IBEKA (Institute of People Centered Business and Economics), a social enterprise linked with Indonesian’s micro-hydro power. Data for this exemplary case were obtained through a qualitative approach, via non-participative observations, document study and interviews. IBEKA’s social service practice purposefulness focuses on active participation, continuity and environmental sustainability. Poised to surpass the criteria of a typical social enterprise foundation, IBEKA’s social entrepreneurship model is applicable to many social service organizations that address social problems. To prevent social problems, societal stakeholder groups are encouraged to establish synergy with social services organizations.
