Hum The research in the moral values of the prose collection of Untuk Sejuta Harapan (For A Million People) written by the winners of the prose competition of Peci (Penulis Cilik/Young Author) in 2017 studies the moralities found in the short stories. This prose collection consists of eight proses, but the writer studies only three proses which have represented the whole eight proses. The first prose is about the sacrifices of a mother. The second prose tells sincerity and gender equalities. The last prose tells cares and humbleness. The aims of this research are to describe the intrinsic elements of the prose collection of Untuk Sejuta Harapan (For A Million People) and to describe the moral values found in the prose collection. The method used in this research is the literature sociological method in order to reveal the the moralities found in the short story collection. The theories used in this research are the fictional structural theories, the literature sociological theories, and the moral theories. The research shows that the prose collection observed contains three good moral values, namely the principles of kindnesses, fairness, and respect to each own self. The principles of kindnesses can be seen in the humbleness and the willingness to take responsibilities, whereas the principles of respect to each own self can be seen in the attitudes of authentic values and the independence of the moral. Through this research, it can be seen how important it is to preach good morals, such as cares and humbleness. Caring attitudes taught to kids will make them be more caring and humbler when they’ve grown up. The readers also can recognize that being each own self is an important thing. Through authentic value attitudes found in the principle of respect to each own self, readers are explained a kid needs to be himself. A kid needs to be independent by respecting and trusting his own opinions. Key words: Untuk Sejuta Harapan, Literature Sociology, Fiction, Structure, Moral Value
