Rama, a single mother from Bogor Regency, West Java, found solace and hope in the government’s People’s School for her son, Ridwan. The Sekolah Rakyat not only provided tuition-free education but also a safe and caring environment for Ridwan. Rama, who has been struggling to raise her two children alone, was initially hesitant to enroll Ridwan in the program due to financial constraints. However, after learning about the fully funded residential education program, she decided to seize the opportunity for her son’s future.
The school’s discipline, cleanliness, and genuine care for the students moved Rama deeply, especially after witnessing how her son was treated with respect and attention. Ridwan, who had previously experienced bullying, now had the chance to thrive in a supportive and nurturing environment. For Rama, who had almost given up due to poverty and exhaustion, seeing her son embraced by the school brought renewed hope and gratitude.
Rama expressed her appreciation to President Prabowo Subianto and everyone involved in the program for extending a helping hand to families like hers. She shared her dreams for Ridwan to succeed and become a successful individual, despite her own limited resources and education. Through the People’s School, Ridwan not only returned to education but also regained his self-esteem, while his mother rediscovered a sense of hope for the future. This heartwarming story showcases the real impact of initiatives that reach out to vulnerable members of society and bring about positive change.
