        "summary": "Eko Purwanti, a client of PNM's Pati branch in Central Java, embodies the modern spirit of Kartini through her small business producing sea-based rengginang and catering services, which not only sustains her family but also empowers other women in the coastal Rembang community. She actively participates in nutritional supplement programmes for children while fostering collective production efforts among local mothers, promoting economic independence and mutual support. PT Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNM) supports such initiatives with intellectual, financial, and social resources, having served over 22.9 million female clients nationwide, highlighting the ongoing relevance of women's empowerment in Indonesia's development.",
        "content": "<p>The commemoration of Kartini Day is not merely understood as a symbol\nof women\u2019s emancipation, but also as a reflection on resilience,\nopen-minded courage, and an unyielding spirit amid limitations. These\nvalues today live on in the efforts of women who persist, including\nthose in coastal areas. One such story comes from Eko Purwanti, a client\nof PNM\u2019s Pati branch in Central Java, who has developed a business\nproducing rengginang from sea products as well as catering. From a\nsimple endeavour, Eko Purwanti not only strives to maintain her family\u2019s\neconomic stability but also brings benefits to her surrounding\ncommunity. In her daily life, Mrs Eko is actively involved in the\nSupplementary Feeding Programme (PMT) for children in need of\nnutritional attention, while empowering mothers in the Rembang coastal\narea to jointly produce sea-based rengginang. \u201cI hope this business can\ncontinue running. Not only to support my family, but also so that the\nmothers around me can feel the benefit of having income; slowly we\nstrengthen each other, with a shared spirit in clustering sea product\nprocessing and wanting to advance together,\u201d said Mrs Eko, in a press\nrelease on Tuesday (21\/4\/2026). The spirit shown by Eko Purwanti\nreflects the values of a contemporary Kartini. Amid limitations, she\ncontinues to step forward and opens opportunities for other women to\ngrow together. For many around her, she is not just an entrepreneur, but\nalso a driver who brings real change to her environment. Especially\nthrough a clustering approach to sea product processing businesses that\nstrengthens togetherness and encourages collective growth. PT Permodalan\nNasional Madani (PNM) Company Secretary Lalu Dodot Patria Ary stated\nthat empowerment efforts in coastal areas are part of the commitment to\ndeliver broader benefits. \u201cWe are present to accompany mothers in\ncoastal areas to grow and empower themselves. Through sea product\nprocessing, they are not only economically empowered but also empower\nothers and grow together,\u201d said Dodot. He explained that with the\n#PNMuntukUMKM #PNMPemberdayaanUMKM spirit through an empowerment\napproach based on three capitals\u2014intellectual through business training,\nfinancial through access to financing, and social through group\nstrengthening\u2014PNM continues to support women to develop sustainably. \u201cTo\ndate, PNM has served more than 22.9 million female clients across\nIndonesia,\u201d said Dodot. He hopes that Mrs Eko\u2019s story serves as an\nillustration that the spirit of Kartini does not stop in the past but\ncontinues to live in the steps of women who dare to try, share, and\nstrengthen one another. \u201cIn every process, sustainable support becomes\nan important part so that every small effort can grow into a greater\nimpact,\u201d Dodot concluded.<\/p>",
