PEKANBARU (July 16, 2021) – Social Rehabilitation
Center "Rumbai" in Pekanbaru owned by the Ministry of Social Affairs
initiated a cooperation agreement regarding the distribution of Child Social
Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI) in 2021 with Bank Mandiri of Pekanbaru
Branch.
The Head of the Center,
Ahmad Subarkah, thanked Bank Mandiri Pekanbaru Area for being willing to
cooperate in the implementation of the distribution of government assistance
through the ATENSI program to children, which was aimed at 7 components, namely
to support the fulfillment of a decent life, care, family support, therapy
(physical, psychosocial, mental, and spiritual), skills/entrepreneurship
training, social assistance, and accessibility support.
"We need to say that
the Center's work area covers 4 provinces, namely Riau Province, Riau Islands,
West Sumatra, and Lampung. This year our target is 3,715 children in 4 provinces
for 15 clusters of Children Needing Special Protection (AMPK). Children's data
we get through the assessment of our officers in the field. The amount of
ATENSI service assistance for each child will be different based on the officer's
assessment," added Ahmad Subarkah in the meeting.
The acceleration of the
distribution of Child ATENSI assistance is following the direction of
the Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini and the Director General of
Social Rehabilitation in every discussion of the program. Through Bank Mandiri,
aid funds will be distributed to children who have gone through a comprehensive
assessment, verification, and validation process. The assistance will be
channeled directly to the account of each child.
Acting Head of Bank
Mandiri Pekanbaru Area, Devi Anggraini thanked Ahmad Subarkah and his staff for
holding this event. "This is a noble task, helping children who need
special protection by distributing ATENSI assistance. We, Bank Mandiri, are
ready to assist in the smooth distribution of this non-cash aid in a timely,
targeted, and well-administered manner," she said.
Furthermore, Devi said
that this was the beginning of cooperation. "This is the beginning of our
cooperation. In the future there will be many more things that can be used as
points for working together," she said.
