Opening The Inclusive Road: Accessibility Presents New Hope For People With Disabilities

TANGERANG Commemoration of International Day of Persons with Disabilities which is commemorated every December 3, PT Capital Financial Indonesia Tbk (Capital) together with Access You reiterated its commitment to increasing the empowerment of people with disabilities through the Accsability sustainability program.

This program is part of the Sustainable Financial Action Plan which is directed to provide inclusive support for traders with physical limitations.

Based on data from the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK) in 2023, there are 22.97 million people with disabilities in Indonesia or around 8.5 percent of the total population. This figure is a reminder of the importance of equal economic access, especially for small business actors.

As part of a series of warnings, Capital and Access you make direct visits to beneficiary stalls while distributing business assistance to disabled traders. The Aksability program, which has been running for four years, has reached traders in Serang, Jakarta, Bekasi, Bogor, Bandung, Garut, Tasikmalaya, to Indramayu through capital assistance in the form of trade goods and business assets such as working shelves.

In providing assistance to one of the assisted outlets in Jakarta, Operations Director of Accessmu, Yosef Risdianto, emphasized the importance of sustainable support. Your commitment to PT Capital Financial Indonesia Tbk is to pay special attention.

Running grocery stores requires good management, and for shop owners who have physical limitations, they must need extraordinary mentality and enthusiasm," he said.

Yosef added that each visit brought inspirational stories from traders. "This program not only brings capital, but also assistance so that their business can run sustainably and opens up opportunities that are more equal," he said.

This commitment was also emphasized by the Directors of Capital. Capital Group believes that growth must be felt by all, including business actors who have physical limitations. Through collaboration with your Access, we encourage inclusive and easily accessible financial access. We hope that the Aksability program will continue to open wider opportunities for MSMEs with disabilities to develop," said Director of PT Capital Financial Indonesia Tbk, Muhamad Aidil Fathany.

Mrs. Emy, a person with disabilities and owner of Warung Mas Dwi in Bogor, admitted that she felt the benefits of this program. "I am very grateful to receive this capital assistance. As a person with disabilities, this support makes me more enthusiastic to survive with my small business," he said.

Capital and Accessmu are targeting program expansion in 2026 by targeting 25 new traders and expanding beneficiary areas throughout Indonesia. One of the challenges faced is the limited data on potential recipients. Therefore, the public is advised to recommend disabled traders who have a warung business through your official access channel for a survey.

This initiative is a concrete step for both parties in commemorating International Day of Persons with Disabilities through the expansion of inclusive and sustainable economic access.
