BANJARBARU CITY (15 September 2021) - The Ministry of Social Affairs through the Social Rehabilitation Centers continues to develop entrepreneurship and vocational development centers as well as media for promoting the work of beneficiaries in an inclusive area or also called the ATENSI Creation Center (SKA) so that beneficiaries can live independently and productively.

 

The ATENSI Creation Center in Budi Luhur, Banjarbaru City, became the 8th location which was inaugurated directly by the Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini. This inauguration was also carried out at the same time as the delivery of Social Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI) support worth Rp.863,395,500 which was symbolically handed over by Social Minister Risma, Governor of South Kalimantan, Deputy Mayor, and Police Chief of Banjarbaru to the beneficiaries.

 

Social Minister Risma reviewed Budi Luhur's SKA in Banjarbaru City and visited booths consisting of multi-business cooperatives, nobility cafes, Sasirangan galleries, handicrafts, culinary centers, hydroponic nursery, laundry, and BL mart.

 

For information, one of the outlets at SKA Budi Luhur in Banjarbaru is a multi-business cooperative which is also prepared to meet the needs of the BPNT (non-cash food assistance) KPM (Beneficiary Families) in the form of carbohydrate sources such as rice and animal protein sources such as eggs and fish, besides that it also provides vegetable protein such as tofu, tempeh, and nuts.

 

This multi-business cooperative also provides sources of vitamins and minerals that are also important for health, such as fruits and vegetables. This is expected to help KPM and the community in fulfilling nutrition and preventing stunting.

 

The ATENSI Creation Center aims to improve the entrepreneurial and vocational abilities of beneficiaries, create job opportunities for beneficiaries, increase socio-economic independence, improve the social welfare of beneficiaries from the poorest/marginalized/abandoned groups (extreme poverty) as well as create shopping and recreation areas in certain places.

 

In the ATENSI Creation Center, there is a Culinary Center that serves food and beverages that are processed and served directly by the beneficiaries. The representative of the Banjarbaru Police Chief, Nur Khamid, was one of the visitors who enjoyed the food and beverage menu at the Culinary Center.

Isra is now studying entrepreneurship at the ATENSI Creation Center, namely the Culinary Center.

"Thank God, the income per day is Rp. 300,000. I hope that after leaving Budi Luhur, I can be independent, I can develop the knowledge that has been obtained here so that in the future it will be more successful. I plan to open a business, selling cakes online for the side", said Isra.
