Visit Srikandi Purworejo's Eyelash Factory, Atikoh Proud Of Mothers' Workers

PURWOREJO - The wife of the presidential candidate (candidate) Ganjar Pranowo, Siti Atikoh Supriyanti visited Srikandi's eyelash factory in Winong Lor, Purworejo, Central Java (Central Java), Thursday, December 28.

During his visit, Atikoh was amazed by the factory initiated by Cipto Waluyo and his wife since 2012 who have owned 1,000 employees. Some of the employees work in factories and some are involved in empowering the home-mother group.

"This is an extraordinary empowerment of the people's economy, especially for mothers who work at home. They are able to balance their duties as mothers while contributing economically to their families," said Atikoh.

When accompanied by Cipto around the factory, Atikoh was greeted with a lively atmosphere. The moment was immediately immortalized by employees using cell phones.

"I feel a very bombbong, honored, the chaos of Mrs. Siti Atikoh. May it bring blessings," said Cipto, proud.

As the former chairman of the Central Java National Crafts Council (Dekranasda), Atikoh also feels proud of Srikandi's eyelashes being the work of the nation's children who have been exported and worldwide. He also appreciated the positive impact, including contributing to waste management with a zero waste approach.

"From the haircuts that were originally removed, now have high economic value. This is a clear example of the use of waste with high productive value. We really support it because of the zero waste concept," said Atikoh.

Atikoh also gave a message to workers, especially women, to maintain their health and happiness. He stressed that happy and independent women will become a strong and great pillar of the country.

"Strong and great countries need women who are happy and independent in determining their attitude, seeking education, and determining their political direction," he concluded.
