TANGERANG (10 March 2022) - The Ministry of Social Affairs together with Member of Commission VIII of the House of Representatives (DPR RI), Muhammad Rizal, symbolically handed over ATENSI, PKH, and BPNT aid worth a total of Rp. 200.222.259.217,- to the Beneficiaries (PM) in the Tangerang Regency, Tangerang City, and South Tangerang City. The symbolic handing over of aid was carried out in the Kresek District Hall, Tangerang Regency, Banten.

 

The Director of Social Protection for Social Disaster Victims (PSKBS), Harapan Lumban Gaol as the Person in Charge of the Ministry of Social Affairs said that in 2022, the Ministry of Social Affairs has integrated the distribution of ATENSI, PKH, and BPNT social assistance.

 

"For the period January to March 2022, the Ministry of Social Affairs through Social Rehabilitation Center “Melati” Jakarta has distributed Social Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI) program for 694 PM. ATENSI program is provided in the components of Entrepreneurship Development, Accessibility Support, Nutrition, Fulfillment of Decent Living Needs, and Assistance for Orphans Affected by Covid-19. Furthermore, the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) program for 201,789 PM, and the Family Hope Program (PKH) for 116,350 KPM, "he explained.

 

"We hope that collaboration between the Central and Regional Governments will be better carried out in the context of accelerating the realization of the distribution of social assistance to the community and ensuring that social assistance is right on target," he said.

 

Muhammad Rizal, Member of Commission VIII of the House of Representatives in his speech reminded social rehabilitation companions to improve the data on recipients of social assistance.

 

"We have agreed with the Minister to improve the data on recipients of social assistance, at least once every 3 months the data on recipients of social assistance will be updated. The facilitators must re-list the people who have not entered the DTKS (Social Welfare Integrated Data). Make sure that the social assistance is not misdirected, if there are recipients of assistance who are not eligible, it should be revised because the social assistance is intended for people in need," said Muhammad Rizal.

 

"We appreciate the Ministry of Social Affairs' quick movement in accelerating the distribution of social assistance, especially in the Greater Tangerang area. It is our shared responsibility to monitor the distribution of social assistance and ensure its use to improve the social welfare of the community," concluded Muhammad Rizal.

 

On the same occasion, ATENSI entrepreneurship social assistance was symbolically handed over to 17 beneficiaries, ATENSI Orphans affected by Covid-19 for 13 beneficiaries, PKH 10 beneficiaries, and BPNT 10 beneficiaries.

Arifin Ilham (6 years old), one of the recipients of wheelchair ATENSI service looks happy when trying his wheelchair. Parents who were present to accompany Ilham expressed their appreciation for the wheelchair assistance that Ilham received.

"Thank you very much for giving Ilham a wheelchair. We have been wanting to buy Ilham a wheelchair for a long time, but what can we do, we don't have enough money," said Ilham's parents.

In addition, Suherti (44 years old) who received ATENSI service in the form of entrepreneurial equipment for a cake business also expressed her joy.

"Thank God, thank you, Sir, for assisting my business. During Covid-19 it was very difficult to find additional income. I will use these tools well. I hope my business will succeed later," said Suherti.
