Resiliency for Women Owned MSME's during Covid-19

By Greg Stretton | Project leader

YCAB Foundation and PT Bank HSBC Indonesia commenced a collaboration that would contribute to the post-pandemic economic recovery of Indonesia via the Resiliency for Women & Farmers program. This program strives to create business opportunities for female and farmer-owned MSMEs by presenting a comprehensive, long-term solution to the complex problems they face as a result of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 crisis has negative implications not only for health but for social and economic conditions as well, of which are detrimental to MSME owners and farmers. That is, despite the primary role they play in job creation and ensuring food security for the Indonesian population. In 2018, MSMEs contributed to 60% of Indonesia’s GDP and employed 121 million Indonesians. In addition, the agricultural sector in its height has contributed to 13.63% of Indonesia’s GDP growth rate.

The health crisis in face of the COVID-19 pandemic has snowballed to produce economic and social consequences. To overcome this recession and prevent social distress, we’ve taken the initiative to support the backbone of this nation’s economy, women-owned MSMEs and farmers. Increasing production capacity and improving the accessibility of capital are the two fundamentals we’ll be working on to help women micro-entrepreneurs and farmers. This program aims to build business resiliency in our target communities, which then has positive implications on their social welfare.

Resiliency for Women & Farmers was created to ensure sustainability for our fellow MSMEs and farmers, such that they can continue to operate and improve their standards of living. YCAB Foundation is providing training and mentorship along with seed capital to improve entrepreneurship skills and knowledge about start-ups in an effort to boost the MSME sector. Through the Resilience for Women & Farmers program as many as 25 groups of women micro-entrepreneurs in the Jakarta local area. West Java and Central Java will receive sewing lessons and training to become resellers. They will receive training for about a year.

As many as 120 farmers, comprising of 72 potato and 48 tomato agriculturists will feel the financial benefit of this program. It is hoped that Resilience for Women & Farmers will restore MSME and agricultural sector conditions, enabling them to recover and once again, contribute to the Indonesian economy.

This project would benefit from extra funding so we can help more people. why not set up a monthly donation here on GG. It would be great if you could.

Stay safe and well dear reader.

Thank you.

Lighting up lives

By Greg Stretton | Project Leader

Our Covid-19 Lightup campaign is fully operational and working very well. A big thank you to all who have donated, you have so far Lit up 2,197 Families and ensured the continuation of school studies for their children via home learning.

I very much hope that you are all keeping safe and well during these troubled times and in view of that, I would like to Re-introduce you to our fundraising program 'Light up Indonesia'

The Light Up Indonesia Program is a program initiated by YCAB Foundation in collaboration with PLN The Indonesian state electricity company. The program aims to help relieve the burden of pre-prosperous families by paying electricity bills for power users of 900VA and 1300VA who are not subsidized by the Government during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

The impact of this plague is not only on health but also in other sectors such as economics, business and even our social life.

Highlighting the increasingly heavy burden faced by the pre-prosperous families who in everyday life have suffered a crisis.

YCAB Foundation is conducting fundraising through GlobalGiving or LightUp Indonesia to help 100,000 pre-prosperous families as well as mother micro-entrepreneurs Whose efforts are impacted during this pandemic, by paying their electricity bills.

Why does electricity become very important? because, in addition to daily lighting needs, their children need electricity for learning online during their study at home.

We invite you to join together with YCAB Foundation to provide Light in Darkness to the pre-prosperous families and the micro-mothers through this Light Up Program.

This Program can be followed either by corporate donation through CSR or individual donations. And also through Customer Programs or employee engagement wherever you work.

For more on this program, you can see through the website: www.lightup.id

Thank you very much, and we hope that you, your friends, relatives and work colleagues will join us and light up thousands of families lives by participating in this program.
