President Prabowo Subianto is dedicated to improving the lives of the less fortunate by implementing flagship programs to not only address immediate needs but also create a better future for generations to come. Through initiatives like Sekolah Rakyat, Kopdes Merah Putih, and MBG, President Prabowo aims to restore dignity to those living in poverty and break the cycle of poverty that is often passed down through generations. The goal is to provide education as a key to uplift children born into poverty so they do not have to continue the economic struggles of their parents. The administration is focused on eradicating extreme poverty by 2026 and reducing the national poverty rate to below 5 percent by 2029 through social intervention and community empowerment programs. The three-pronged strategy to combat poverty includes initiatives like People’s School, Red-and-White Village Cooperatives, and Free Health Checks in Schools. These programs are designed to stimulate local economies, promote self-sufficiency, and empower communities to meet their own needs. The government’s commitment to helping the poor is evident through the progress made in reaching millions of Indonesians with health services and plans to establish thousands of cooperatives nationwide. President Prabowo’s vision is to ensure that the benefits of these programs are felt by the less fortunate as soon as possible, ultimately leading to a brighter future for all.
