Supporting the Spirit of Persons with Disabilities, BLBI "Abiyoso" Distributes ATENSI Aid for Business Capital
CILEUNYI (14 July 2021) - The Ministry of Social
Affairs through the Indonesian Braille Literacy Center (BLBI)
"Abiyoso" today distributed Social Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI)
program in the form of business capital worth IDR 4,000,000 and IDR 1,000,000
to people with physical disabilities.
The delivery of this
assistance is a form of follow-up to the results of the assessment carried out
by the BLBI "Abiyoso" Cimahi team for the persons with physical
disabilities.
Yan Martin is one of the
people with physical disabilities who received business capital assistance.
Every day he works by renting out Play Station rentals to meet family needs. In
addition, Yan also makes food packaging from waste paper.
However, after the
COVID-19 outbreak, these packaging orders began to decrease. His wife also
helps the family's economy by selling fried food every afternoon.
With his disability, Yan
Martin's mobility depends on the skateboard he designed himself. Previously he
had used a wheelchair, but his hands were not strong enough to pedal the wheel
because the wheelchair provided was difficult for him to use.
The ATENSI assistance
worth IDR 4,000,000 will be used by Yan Martin for business capital selling
electricity vouchers/tokens at his home.
The head of BLBI
"Abiyoso", Isep Sepriyan said that this assistance must really be used
to run a business.
"The BLBI team
"Abiyoso" will assist in the purchase of equipment needed for the
business," said Isep.
Engkus, who is also a
physically disabled person, received business capital development assistance to
purchase a cassava grater machine used for his kicimpring business.
The kicimpring business run by Engkus has grown quite a bit. With his
disabled hands, the process of grating cassava for ingredients for making kicimpring is very hampered because so
far he has had so much difficulty grating coconut with a manual/traditional
grater.
