The West Jakarta Social Affairs Office distributed wheelchairs to five residents with disabilities in the Jelambar area, Grogol Petamburan District, on Monday. Danu, the Head of the Social Implementation Unit for Grogol Petamburan, stated that the programme is part of the government’s commitment to providing inclusive services for the community. “We are striving to ensure that all citizens receive attention and equal opportunities to live more independently and prosperously,” he said in Jakarta on Monday.

The distribution was carried out directly to the homes of the recipients across various locations in the Jelambar area. Danu explained that the assistance is provided as a form of government care for people with disabilities and residents in need of mobility aids to support their daily activities. Officers also provided education regarding the use and maintenance of the wheelchairs to ensure they can be utilised optimally and sustainably by the beneficiaries.
