They must feel valued, empowered and able to contribute to the development of Jakarta

One of the main focuses is to empower people with disabilities by providing them with equal opportunities in various aspects of life, including economic, educational, and social fields.

Baznas Bazis Jakarta has several excellent programs aimed at helping people with disabilities in the capital, namely Difabis Coffee and Tea and the Tahfidz Disabled Islamic Boarding School.

Difabis Coffee and Tea is an initiative to empower them in the field of entrepreneurship. This program opens opportunities for them to learn and engage in the coffee and tea industry, as well as providing them with the chance to have their own business.

"They can sharpen their skills, build confidence, and improve their standard of living," expressed Baznas Bazis Jakarta Chairman, Akhmad H Abu Bakar, Monday (3/10).

Meanwhile, the Tahfidz Disabled Islamic Boarding School is an educational program specifically designed for individuals with disabilities to study and memorize the Quran.

This not only provides a deep religious education but also fosters a strong sense of social connection within the community.

"Through the Tahfidz Disabled Islamic Boarding School, we're committed to providing inclusive and dignified education for individuals with disabilities," he explained.

From such programs, they also have other flagship programs such as Bedah Rumah (House Renovation), Bedah Kawasan (Area Renovation), Semua Bisa Makan (All You Can Eat), Senyum Teluk Jakarta (Jakarta Bay Smile), BKB Matraman (Matraman Family Empowerment), Saudagar Tangguh (Resilient Traders), Tanggap Bencana (Disaster Response), and Masa Depan Jakarta (the Future of Jakarta).

He went on to say that Baznas Bazis Jakarta strives to create an inclusive environment where people with disabilities are not only seen as a group in need of assistance but also as individuals with extraordinary potential.

"They must feel valued, empowered and able to contribute to the development of Jakarta," he continued.

Baznas Bazis Jakarta IV Vice Chair, Mohd Nasir Tajang uttered the Baznas Bazis Jakarta disability empowerment program collaborated with the Jakarta Government and it was hoped that people with disabilities can get a better life.

He assessed this is a form of commitment from Baznas Bazis to build a better, fairer, and more prosperous Jakarta for everyone.

"We're very grateful to collaborate with the Jakarta Government in realizing various programs that benefit people with disabilities. By so, we hope to create more opportunities for them to grow, achieve their dreams, and live more independently," he explained.

He added Baznas Bazis Jakarta also collaborated closely with the Jakarta Government to strengthen programs to empower people with disabilities.

"The Jakarta Government, through various policies and available facilities, fully supports this effort and makes the empowerment of people with disabilities a part of the broader agenda for inclusive development in Jakarta," he closed.
