        "summary": "Pertamina Patra Niaga is championing social inclusion and sustainability by supporting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) run by people with disabilities. Products from these fostered businesses, including upcycled fashion, were showcased at Indonesia Fashion Week 2026. A company commissioner highlighted the programme's role in proving the capabilities of disabled artisans and strengthening the local economy.",
        "content": "<p>The 2026 Indonesia Fashion Week (IFW) showcased stories of struggle\nand resilience from MSMEs fostered by Pertamina Patra Niaga. Beyond a\nmere exhibition of fashion and handicrafts, several products on display\nwere the handiwork of vulnerable groups, including people with\ndisabilities.<\/p>\n<p>One example was the clothing displayed at the Narita Shibori MSME\nbooth. This enterprise not only produces economically valuable goods but\nalso serves as an inclusive space for the marginalised. In creating its\nproducts, Narita Shibori engages children with special needs from Rumah\nHasanah Bandung and SLB Negeri 4 Jakarta, giving its products not just\naesthetic appeal but also deep social value.<\/p>\n<p>Another story came from the Dara Baro MSME booth, also a fostered\npartner of Pertamina Patra Niaga. This Aceh-based enterprise operates in\nsustainable fashion, utilising waste fabric from the Indonesian\narchipelago, such as jumputan, woven textiles, and batik, to produce\nhigh-value clothing using the Japanese boro technique. Boro is a\nproduction method involving sewing and patching (upcycling) used fabrics\ninto new garments, meaning Dara Baro\u2019s products are not only beautiful\nbut also environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n<p>This human touch and sustainability value caught the attention of\nPertamina Patra Niaga\u2019s Independent Commissioner, Siti Zahra Aghnia,\nduring her visit to the energy company\u2019s booth on Sunday (2\/8). She\nhighlighted how each product holds a powerful and touching story of\nempowerment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese products have extraordinary value because they empower great\ngroups within society. There are works from our brothers and sisters\nwith disabilities, which are not only attractive for daily use but also\nprove that people with disabilities are capable of producing\nhigh-quality work. This is tangible proof of how a product can provide\nbenefits and sustain the livelihoods of many people,\u201d said Siti Zahra,\nas quoted from her statement on Thursday (6\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>She also requested that Pertamina Patra Niaga continue to expand its\nmentoring and development programmes for MSMEs, so that more parties can\nfeel the benefits, especially around the company\u2019s operational areas.\nAccording to her, the development programme run by Pertamina Patra Niaga\nnot only expands the market for local MSMEs but also strengthens the\nnation\u2019s economic foundation starting from the local level.<\/p>",
