SEMARANG (3 September 2021) - The Ministry of Social Affairs together with Commission VIII of the House of Representatives continues to provide support for Social Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI) in various regions, one of which is in Semarang City, Central Java. This ATENSI support is an effort to recover from the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

 

The total ATENSI support provided is Rp. 1.4 billion with types of assistance, namely compensation for 514 Orphans, Fatherless and Motherless whose parents died due to Covid-19, entrepreneurship assistance for 142 people, accessibility support for 190 people with disabilities and basic needs for 665 people.

 

"We are still collecting data until the end of December 2021. It is data for orphans due to Covid-19. Furthermore, orphans, in general, will be recorded next year. We will also send the data to the Ministry of Education and Culture so that children can get an Indonesian Card Smart (KIP)," said Social Minister Risma.

 

In addition, Social Minister Risma also said that the entrepreneurship assistance provided was following the wishes and needs of the beneficiaries. "If the passion is in the culinary field, we can't force the sewing business, so it must be according to their wishes," explained Social Minister Risma.

 

This ATENSI support is also provided by continuing to assist in the form of business development training every Saturday and Sunday through the Heroes of the Economy webinar. The training includes how to market products and other business-related matters.

 

Social Minister Risma and Member of Commission VIII DPR RI, Buchori, symbolically handed over this ATENSI support at the Semarang Regent's Office House. The aid will be distributed to beneficiaries in Semarang City, Semarang Regency, Salatiga City, Surakarta City, Pekalongan Regency and Pati Regency.

 

Buchori appreciated the government's idea of ​​assisting orphans. "We support it because the ATENSI program is a program that directly touches the community, one of which is assistance for orphans, fatherless and motherless whose parents died because of Covid-19. This saves the nation's generation," he said.

 

Besides handing over the aid symbolically, Social Minister Risma also had a dialogue with the beneficiaries who received the aid. Social Minister Risma wants to ensure that the assistance provided is following the needs of the beneficiaries.

For beneficiaries with visual disabilities persons who receive the Adaptive Guidance Stick, Social Minister Risma asked to directly try it out, carried out by persons with visual disabilities directly.

One of them is Dede, a visual disability person who claims to be more comfortable after using the Adaptive Guide Stick. "I am grateful to have this assistance. I am comfortable using it because it is equipped with various sensors such as smoke, distance, fire, and water sensors," said Dede.

On the other hand, there are also persons with visual sensory disabilities who receive assistance with a set of Soto stall business equipment. He is Moh Agus Yusuf (49 years old) who has been blind since 2008 due to a virus that attacks his eye nerve.

"I am grateful, thank you for the help from the Ministry of Social Affairs. Hopefully my other friends (people with disabilities) can also get help like me," he said.

There are also victims of drug abuse who have now recovered and want to start pursuing a steam car wash business. Syamsul Arifin from Demak received assistance with a set of vehicle steam washing equipment to support his business.

This assistance is a collaboration of the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) belonging to the Ministry of Social Affairs, namely Social Rehabilitation Center “Margo Laras” Pati, “Antasena” Magelang, “Kartini” Temanggung, “Prof. Dr. Soeharso” Surakarta, “Satria” Baturraden, “Melati” Jakarta, “Budhi Dharma” Bekasi, “Tan Miyat” Bekasi, “Wyata Guna” Bandung, “Abiyoso” Bandung and “Galih Pakuan” Bogor.

The event of handing over ATENSI support was also attended by the Regent of Semarang Ngesti Nugraha and echelon I and II officials in the Ministry of Social Affairs.
