IDI RAYEUK (February 1, 2023) - Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini
paid a working visit to Seneubok Simpang Village, Darul Aman District, East Aceh
Regency, Aceh Province. Together with Kompas Humanitarian Fund Foundation and
Kitabisa.com, the Minister of Social Affairs arrived at around 01.00 pm and
immediately visited AA (7), a child with hydrocephalus to hand over medical
assistance of IDR 73.2 million. In addition, Social Rehabilitation Assistance
(ATENSI) in the form of basic needs, nutritional intake, and health
accessibility worth IDR 9 million.
The Minister of Social Affairs also provided
ATENSI to 99 Beneficiaries (PM) of the child cluster in the form of nutritional
packages and personal hygiene tools expected to help meet their
needs. Not far from there, the Minister laid the first stone for the
construction of 11 units of Earthquake Resistant Houses in East Aceh. Eight of
them were funded by Kompas Humanitarian Fund Foundation and the rest were
assisted by the Ministry of Social Affairs. "The bricks are special like
we did in Majene", said the Minister of Social Affairs when explaining the
advantages of earthquake-resistant houses.
The Minister of Social Affairs conducted a dialogue
with the community and conveyed the concept of empowerment so that the Social
Welfare Service Recipients need to live more independently.
"I have a hard time walking, so I want to
have a kiosk business so I can sell," said Hasnah (42), a wheelchair
recipient who was also given groceries and nutrition along with 16 other people
outside the child cluster.
