Lapangan Tengah Serbaguna 1 East Bekasi, Bekasi, West Jawa. Daya is a sustainable and measureable mass market empowerment program that is designed to build the capacity of pensioners, micro and small enterprises (MSEs), as well as the productive poor customers. Attending the program is David Freddynanto, BTPN’s Head of Daya.

David explains, “BTPN developed the Daya Program based on the model that integrates the Bank’s social program with its business, and therefore increases the ‘significance potential’ of every Indonesian. BTPN believes that its involvement in improving the customer’s environment will bring a positive impact to their capacity growth and thus would also increase BTPN’s growth performance.”

BTPN is committed to continue building its customers’ capacity in a sustainable way by providing opportunities to grow and improve their quality of life through the three Daya pillars of Daya Health & Wellness, Daya Entrepreneurial Capacity Building, and Daya Community Empowerment.

The training for pensioners  is done through simple and practical modules, including ‘Ready to be an Entrepreneur’ (Siap Berwirausaha) and ‘Unique Entrepreneur’ (Wirausaha Unik). Siap Berwirausaha is a module consisting of tips and guidance on how to start a business. On the other hand, Wirausaha Unik is a module with different types of unique business models that can be implemented and developed by pensioners. “In Bekasi we were working together with Bogasari to give Wirausaha Unik training related to flour,” added David.

“Up to 30 September 2012, the Daya Program has reached 1,053,945 beneficiaries nation-wide, or an increase of 53% compared to the same period last year. The beneficiaries consists of mass market customers, who are pensioners, micro and small enterprises, as well as the productive poor community,” said David.
