PT TWC Distributes CSR UMK Funding to Fostered Partners

PT Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan & Ratu Boko (Persero) distributed partnership funds amounting to 215 million rupiah for 7 fostered partners at the TWC Head Office, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Monday (8/11/2021). The program is a form of PT TWC's commitment as a BUMN to participate in developing Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to be more independent.

Corporate Secretary of PT TWC Emilia Eny Utari together with TJSL & SME Founding Manager Bambang Sarwo Eddy directly handed over loans to these fostered partners. The funds distributed are expected to support the development of fostered partner businesses.

"The funds we roll out must of course be used as working capital and please use it as wisely as possible. We help with the working capital, so that you can all improve your business and in the future can move up a class," said Emilia.

PT TWC through its Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) division is committed to encouraging the growth of community entrepreneurship by helping to develop small businesses from the start. This is done by providing assistance, training and marketing assistance, so that businesses can grow and create economic independence for their actors.

PT TWC also invites its partners to improve their products and start switching to a digital system. Through this digitalization, it is expected that the market share will expand, thereby increasing sales turnover.

“This online will not stop. Currently, almost everyone is doing activities online. People now order things online. Partners can also go there. So that later in marketing their products they can go online,” he continued.

One of the fostered partners, Eny Sukarno, admitted that she was greatly helped by the partnership funds from PT TWC. The farmer who focuses on producing salted eggs and eggs for the gudeg industry in Yogyakarta wants to revive her production which had stalled during the pandemic.

"Yesterday, this pandemic hit the business hard. Production also dropped because the gudeg that tourists were interested in was also quiet. Capital had to be used for daily needs. Now we want to start again, start to grow, because tourism is starting to get busy again," said Eny, who has been involved in this business for 7 years.
