Jakarta – Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) greatly contribute to better economic resilience. To boost entrepreneurship ratio in its operational areas, Korindo Group and Foundation offer a range of support for small businesses. This includes the Foundation’s Youth Entrepreneurship Program.
This year [2023], the Foundation collaborated with financing company Clemont Finance in a business assistance program for MSMEs in Pancoran Subdistrict, where they distributed 30,000,000 IDR in financial aid to four local businesses.
Each beneficiary received 7,500,000 IDR to grow their business, enabling them to move forward and benefit their community.
The lucky applicants were Istiqomah (owner of cheese fried cassava shop Singkong Keju Abah Salim), Aprilia F. Elly (LocalBrew Kombucha), Ahmad Farhan (soap and detergent brand Z3 Clean), and Zannabu Afifah (Dapur Hot/”Hot Kitchen”).
“We hope this money will be handy in building a successful, sustainable business,” said Korindo Foundation’s general secretary Seo Jeongsik Wednesday (12/27) at the handover ceremony at the Pancoran Subdistrict office.
With the grant, LocalBrew Kombucha owner Aprilia F. Elly plans to sell her products in more marketplaces.
“Thank you for the help you [Korindo] have given us. We will use it to expand our businesses. I myself am planning to create better product photos and establish a presence in more marketplaces and also social media. Thank you again, Korindo,” Elly said.
The youngpreneurs’ passion has spurred Korindo Group into helping their businesses grow and hire local workers. Like its slogan, One Step Ahead, the company will continue to bring as many benefits as possible to society. (PR)
