PT Phapros Tbk (PEHA), a subsidiary of PT Kimia Farma Tbk (KAEF), has once again distributed the Phase III/2024 Micro and Small Business Funding Program (UMK) to 10 prospective partners at the Simongan office, Semarang, Central Java.

The UMK funding program is part of Phapros’ commitment to developing the capabilities of small businesses to become more independent and capable of driving economic growth, creating a sense of equitable development, and expanding job opportunities in the region. Corporate Secretary Zahmilia Akbar attended virtually, congratulating the 10 selected prospective partners and expressing hope that the funds provided would bring blessings and benefits to their businesses.

The total funds distributed amount to IDR 575,000,000 (five hundred and seventy-five million rupiah) to 10 prospective partners located in Central Java Province and DKI Jakarta, with business sectors in industry, services, and trade. “Today marks the third phase of the UMK program, with four phases planned for 2024. From January to September 2024, a total of IDR 2,640,000,000 (two billion six hundred forty million rupiah) has been disbursed to 43 partners. In addition to the UMK funding program, Phapros' Corporate Social Responsibility (TJSL) will also conduct training programs, workshops, and exhibitions aimed at enhancing the competence and capabilities of partners, enabling them to grow and develop with Phapros. The hope is that these micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) will advance and move up the ranks to become medium and large-scale industries,” she continued.

Meanwhile, Acting President Director Ida Rahmi Kurniasih, also attending virtually, stated that the current economic situation is sluggish, and what we need to do is maintain enthusiasm, unity, mutual support, and seize available opportunities. She also expressed her hope that Phapros' TJSL and its partners could continue to synergize in building an entrepreneurial mindset, fostering hard work, perseverance, good attitudes, and continuing to gain knowledge for business development. Phapros' TJSL is also collaborating with local government agencies, institutions, and other business entities to continuously support its partners.

“We hope that this revolving fund can be used for the growth of our partners' businesses, leading them to success. Therefore, it is important to maintain credibility and reputation when repaying loans. Phapros is also committed to continuing to progress and grow together to achieve a prosperous Indonesia, well-being for families, and improved healthcare quality,” she added.

In her closing remarks, Ida Rahmi Kurniasih encouraged all partners to always dream big and work hard to achieve their goals.
