Aceh "Darussa'adah" Center Conducts Outreach at KAT Sikundo
ACEH BESAR (2 June 2021) - The Ministry of Social
Affairs through the "Darussa'adah" Center in Aceh conducted outreach
activities for prospective beneficiaries of assistance to Remote Indigenous
Communities (KAT) in Sikundo Village, Pante Ceureumen District, Aceh Barat
Regency. Later, through a needs assessment in the Social Rehabilitation
Assistance (ATENSI) program, the KAT community, especially children, will
receive assistance covering educational, health, and therapeutic needs as well
as basic needs.
“Our visit to the KAT Sikundo
area is in the context of outreach activities for potential recipients of KAT
community assistance. At the same time knowing the general picture and
condition of the KAT community so that the needs for the children will be
known”. said the Sub-coordinator and Social Counselor, Rina Fahyuni.
The location of KAT Sikundo
is located in the Ulu Masen forest ecosystem area. The distance of the village
in the middle of the wilderness is about 80 kilometers from the district
center. Access to Sikundo Village is quite difficult. Medan starts to be
extreme at the point of travel between Jambak Village, which is the second last
village in Pante Ceureumen District, to Sikundo Village.
“The time we took from
Meulaboh to Sikundo Village was about 3.5 hours, the location was quite
challenging because it was raining. But thank God we were able to meet the KAT
children in Sikundo Village and give them simple games (play therapy),” said the
Social Worker, Agung Yulianto.
