#makeinclusionpossible: PKMK September 2022
As part of the organizational mechanism, the YAKKUM Board conducted monitoring of the implementation of the strategic plan carried out by YAKKUM CHPM units, namely CD Bethesda YAKKUM, YAKKUM Rehabilitation Centre and YAKKUM Emergency Unit during the first semester of 2022.
From a series of monitoring to WPA assisted groups and Yayasan Kebaya (as a partner of CD Bethesda), the Market for the poor and Womenpreneurs for plastic YEU cooperation programs in Palu and vocational training and apprenticeship participants and the Self Help Groups community of people with psychosocial disabilities supported by PRY, it was concluded that the 5 strategic issues of learning leadership, systems and tools, asset management, competitive advantage and networking and partnerships could be implemented with significant achievements such as knowledge management, increased cooperation between units and with the church, which will be shown in more detail in their respective reports.
Some of the testimonies recorded in this 2022 monitoring can be seen as follows:
Rev. Simon Julianto, Chairman of the YAKKUM Board of Directors
During a visit to the YAKKUM Rehabilitation Centre, the First Chairman of the YAKKUM Board said, “I learned from meeting these disabled friends, I realized that each person in this world has their own disability, this makes us all realize that all people are equal and must have the same opportunities; we must not just surrender but continue to try and have concrete plans and steps to do positive things in our lives; thus our perspective on our future is bright.”

YAKKUM Emergency Unit (YEU) is one of the units within YAKKUM that works in the social and humanitarian fields. YEU’s presence in Loli Tasiburi Village and Loli Dondo Village is one part of this social and humanitarian work, especially the response after the COVID-19 disaster and pandemic.

Rully Malai (Kebaya Foundation)
With the support of CD Bethesda who facilitated us with the institution’s strategic plan until 2023, there are at least 3 long-term benefits felt by Yayasan Kebaya, namely:
- Increased institutional capacity in terms of financial management.
- development of human resource management so that our staff/members can become advocates for identity card management for friends who do not have one.
- Becoming a Community Based Organization (CBO) for the transgender community that focuses on capacity building for communities in this network.

Regarding #makeinclusionpossible, in September RS Panti Rahayu coordinated with the Head of Penawangan II Community Health Centre and Bologarang Village Health Cadres regarding an MOU to assist the Bologarang Village disability community.
YAKKUM, as a health service institution, is committed to being involved in improving the quality of health services by supporting national and international health commemoration days. Such as World Mental Health Day which is celebrated every October 10 and National Health Day which is celebrated every November 12, 2021. The support provided by YAKKUM includes various activities involving its units and the assisted community, in this case young people.
In addition, as a matter of necessity, YAKKUM is also committed to becoming an inclusive health institution. Currently, YAKKUM Hospital is committed to expanding the understanding of disability-inclusive development by involving its entire community to concretely become an inclusive health service provider.
In 2021, YAKKUM held an inclusive hospital competition as a method to declare that the 12 YAKKUM hospitals have a commitment and concrete practice to become more disability inclusive health service providers. As well as giving awards to YAKKUM hospital units that are in the process of realizing disability-inclusive health service commitments.
Of the 12 YAKKUM hospitals that became the top three (3), among them were Panti Rahayu Purwodadi Hospital as the first winner with disability-friendly medical facilities and services. Second place was Panti Wilasa Dr. Cipto Semarang with its caregiver and fasttrack services. Meanwhile, Emanuel Klampok-Banjarnegara Hospital won the third place with facilities and networking with other institutions that also focus on serving people with disabilities.
