JAMBI (August 21, 2024) - After meeting Suku Anak Dalam in Batanghari Regency, Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini continued to meet the beneficiaries who were training at the Alyatama Jambi Center on Wednesday (08/21/2024). The beneficiaries felt happy when Minister of Social Affairs Risma greeted them one by one and encouraged them to achieve a successful future.

 

The beneficiaries who are currently also living at the Alyatama Jambi Center have various backgrounds, such as children in conflict with the law, abandoned children, disabilities, and even victims of rape. Not only mothers and adult men but also young children can be found there. With these various backgrounds, they have anxiety about their future. Seeing this, Social Affairs Minister Risma tried to have a dialogue and provide encouragement.

 

"Because our God is all-just, behind every difficulty there must be an advantage. So, ladies, my children, please don't give up. Right now, you are having a hard time, but success is in our hands. You can achieve a successful future," said Risma, encouraging the beneficiaries who were sewing training.

 

Minister Risma had the chance to greet a beneficiary who was a victim of physical violence and neglect. The tiny girl could only speak softly and did not dare to speak loudly. Whispers of comfort and motivation were uttered by Minister Risma to the little girl who finally cried while hugging the Minister. Minister of Social Affairs hugged the little girl tightly and kept saying, "Keep your spirits up, come on, keep your spirits up."

 

To prepare for the future of the beneficiary, Ministry of Social Affairs through the Alyatama Jambi Center has prepared various kinds of training tailored to their interests. If they have completed the training, the beneficiaries can also be given business assistance for those considered capable of running a business. If not, then they can train at the Alyatama Cafe, also located in the Alyatama Jambi Center complex.  Not only that, the Center also provides psychological support to heal their inner wounds. "They can also learn to sell at Cafe Alyatama," said Risma. In addition to meeting female beneficiaries who are learning to sew, Minister Risma also met beneficiaries with disabilities. Minister Risma invited them to become content creators and will bring in trainers to specifically guide them. "I will bring in trainers for you to learn how to create content so that you can create good content. Do you want to?" invited Risma to the disabled beneficiary.
