BEKASI (March 9, 2021) - The Indonesian Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini, welcomed the arrival of the Leaders and Members of Commission VIII DPR RI at the ATENSI Creation Center, Pangudi Luhur Training Center Bekasi.
Risma introduced a place where neglected/marginalized people were given social rehabilitation so they could be creative and have access to a better life.
Risma explained that the ATENSI Creation Center was created to move scavenger wives and scavenger women to be economically empowered. Starting with the provision of cooking training, now scavenger wives and scavenger women can open a culinary business at the ATENSI Creation Center owned by the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs.
Her husbands were given access to work in several partner companies of the Ministry of Social Affairs, namely the Grand Kamala Lagoon Bekasi company, PT. Waskita Karya Tbk, PT. Elang Mahkota Teknologi Tbk, PT Otsindo Prima Raya and PT Kamadjaja Logistics. A total of 61 people have worked in these companies.
"When they were scavengers their income was IDR 30,000 per day. But now when they open a business at the ATENSI Creation Center, they get a net profit of IDR 100,000 per day. Her husband, who works at PT. Waskita Karya, Tbk, already gets a salary per month IDR 4.8 million. So, in about a month they pocket about IDR 7 million," explained Risma.
In addition to the culinary center at the ATENSI Creation Center, there are also stands for compost products, liquid fertilizer, hydroponic vegetables, chicken eggs and magot (catfish feed) as well as agro-tourism for Porang and Grapes.
In addition, at the ATENSI Creation Center there are also ATENSI Creation Outlets that are beneficiaries of the Cibinong Disability Center, Mulya Jaya Training Center Jakarta, Pangudi Luhur Training Center Bekasi, Tan Miyat Center Bekasi, Budhi Dharma Elderly Center Bekasi, Jakarta Melati Disability Center, Kartini Disability Center Temanggung, and the Kumala Foundation.
In the future, the Center will be multifunctional, not only dealing with persons with disabilities, but also the elderly, children, drug victims and victims of human trafficking.
The Center also does not only run social rehabilitation services but is assigned to respond to cases of natural disasters. "Like yesterday when there was a flood in East Java, we sent a team from the Prof. Dr. Soeharso Surakarta Disability Center to respond in providing assistance and psychosocial support services for disaster victims," said Risma.
Chairman of Commission VIII DPR RI, Yandri Susanto said that the Ministry of Social Affairs had succeeded in realizing a socio-economic center in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic for Beneficiaries at the Pangudi Luhur Training Center Bekasi through the ATENSI Creation Center.
