Calls Over Ridges is an international organization founded on the mission to give education a new meaning and bring children back to school. Today, we operate not only in Nepal but have extended our reach across South and Southeast Asia. With teams established in Nepal, Malaysia, and the Philippines, Calls Over Ridges harnesses on-the-ground talents and perspectives to transform the educational landscape with an “exit” plan in mind.  

In 2023, Calls Over Ridges expanded its reach to the Philippines, initiating our flagship project in Siargao to provide children in remote areas with access to educational resources. We have a committed team of three actively involved in several initiatives targeting issues such as malnutrition, illiteracy, and school transportation barriers.

What’s it like working at Kitabisa?

About us

Kitabisa is a digital fundraising and donation platform connecting millions of kindness in Indonesia. Initiated in 2013 as a social movement, we continuously grow and collaborate with many companies, government bodies, non-profit organizations, hospitals, and public figures to harness the power of the masses in tackling social issues. Thus far, millions of #orangbaik have joined to scale up the impacts in helping other people in need. Through technology, we strive to build the largest community of people helping and protecting each other.

What we value

In Kitabisa, we are not just working, but working with a purpose. Connecting kindness, scaling it up, and creating direct impacts on other people’s lives make our work feels meaningful. In our day-to-day work, we always hold on to Berani, Berbuat, Baik principles. Berani, we do the rights even if no one is looking, tell the truth, and respect others’ differences. Berbuat, we believe words mean nothing when no action is taken. We call ourselves ‘doers’ as we are biased towards action and value progress over perfection. Baik is the foundation of every act and the work we do. Being kind to ourselves, to the people we work with, and for sure, to the people in need. If you have the same values and would like to create a real difference in other people’s lives, we would love to hear from you.
