SURABAYA (January 2, 2021) - Minister of Social Affairs Tri
Rismaharini retrospects social service programs in Surabaya City that she had
previously led. A number of social services for handling neglected children and
the elderly are the points of visit today, Saturday (02/01).
"We visited the UPTD (regional
technical service unit) of the Surabaya City Social Office namely the Kalijudan
Social Housing Complex which fosters homeless and beggars’ children and
children with disabilities, UPTD Griya Werdha Jambangan which serves neglected
/ poor elderly, and UPTD Kampung Anak Negeri which educate street and neglected
children, "said Risma.
She made this visit after
distributing assistance from the Social Rehabilitation Assistance Program
(ATENSI) to former street children and the elderly who were assisted by the
Mojopahit Foundation in the ex-localization in Balong Cangkring (BC), Prajuritkulon Subdistrict, Mojokerto City and
for residents suffering from leprosy in Sumber Glagah Village, Pacet District,
Mojokerto Regency.
At the beginning
of her position as Minister
of Social Affairs, Risma stated that empowering neglected children and the elderly
would be one of the priorities focuses of the Ministry of Social Affairs during
her leadership.
In the midst of today's
retrospect, she also visited one of the examples of citizen empowerment of Gang
Dolly (ex-localization) in Surabaya which has succeeded in becoming a craft and
a creative economy area.
"This is one of the batik
made by Ms. Dian. So good that it's hard to get, because it is unique. Here
(Dolly Gang) we have some points (which have been built) such as parks, futsal
and a bird market, "said Risma while visiting the Mampu Jaya Joint
Business Group (KUB) at Kulang Gunung Timur Gang Dolly Surabaya.
The Ministry of Social Affairs
itself has a Social Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI) program which provides
services including for former neglected children and the elderly through
family, community and / or residential-based approaches.
