BEKASI (January 21, 2021) - The Indonesian Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini again brought 15 scavengers assisted by "Pangudi Luhur" Training Center in Bekasi and the Social Welfare Institution (LKS) Education, Religion Bee Entertainment (ERBE) to work at PT. Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk.
Previously, on Friday, January 8, 2021, the Minister of Social Affairs had escorted 5 scavengers to work at Grand Kamala Lagoon, a company managed by the State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) PT. Housing Development (PP) Tbk.
Of the 15 scavengers, 5 of them, namely Riyadi, Agus Suprijadi, Agus Hardian, Pertinatus Aunsi and Andri Gunawan Prasetyo, were assisted by "Pangudi Luhur" Training Center in Bekasi and 10 others, namely Sogiandi, Hendra Kuswara, Dedi Mulyadi, Didi Kanadi, Abdullah, Achmad Faisal, Nurcholis, Zul Arsyil Mazid, Maimunah, and Muslimin are assisted by LKS ERBE who are also partners with the Ministry of Social Affairs.
"On behalf of the government and the Ministry of Social Affairs, I would like to thank PT. Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk for providing opportunities for our brothers and sisters. I am sure they will get a better income," said Risma when delivering her speech at the PT. Waskita Karya Becakayu Project Location, Bekasi.
Their income when they were scavengers was an average of Rp30.000. That's why they also find it difficult to access housing and choose to be under a bridge or just sleep on the sidewalk.
Currently they are staying temporarily at the "Pangudi Luhur" Training Center in Bekasi. "The Ministry of Social Affairs provides a hall for their temporary residence before they become independent. We will prepare not only Centers in Bekasi and Jakarta, but also Centers throughout Indonesia," explained Risma.
Later, continued Risma, once the scavengers are independent, they will be placed in rental flats (Rusunawa) which are currently under construction in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR).
President Director of PT. Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk, Destiawan Soewardjono welcomed the Ministry of Social Affairs' idea. "In essence, there are many jobs in the PT. Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk project that everyone can do without the need for special skills. Moreover, they have received training at the Pangudi Luhur Bekasi Training Center and LKS," he explained.
Destiawan will adjust their work placement according to their work experience and expertise, so that they can easily adapt to work in the field.
When the project is completed, the project team will evaluate the workers. If the worker is diligent and the work is good, the project team will invite the worker to do the next project.

Destiawan also added that Waskita will support this program. "We will prepare many of our projects that can recruit human resources as long as there are still many activities that require manpower in the project," he added.
PT. Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk as one of the State-Owned Enterprises which has a task in the construction industry infrastructure development has prepared job opportunities at project sites throughout Indonesia.
A total of 15 scavengers who were delivered directly by the Minister of Social Affairs will be distributed to three project sites of PT. Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk, namely in Cimanggis Depok, Bekasi and Cibitung. The Ministry of Social Affairs is also currently preparing 12 other people to work at PT. Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk.
Pertinatus Aunsi, a scavenger assisted by "Pangudi Luhur" Training Center in Bekasi, is grateful for this job opportunity. "I thank God, I didn't expect to be able to work here. I also thank the Ministry of Social Affairs for trusting us to be able to work at Waskita. I hope that by working here I can save money to buy a house," he said.
Pertianus said that while staying at the "Pangudi Luhur" Training Center in Bekasi, many activities were carried out, such as being trained in catfish farming, porang cultivation, hydroponic cultivation, managing compost, recycling waste and being trained as a mechanic.
Likewise, Maimunah, who was assisted by LKS ERBE, has been a scavenger for 3 years. She was happy to have this job opportunity. "Alhamdulillah, I am happy to have a job opportunity through Mrs. Risma. I want to change my fate," he said.

It's difficult to get a job at this time. I'm sure your life will be better. It's difficult and hard for sure, but you have to believe that God can provide convenience behind our difficulties," concluded Risma.
