Dharma Wanita Persatuan (DWP) Sarmi Programs

Dharma Wanita Persatuan (DWP) Sarmi implements programs divided into three main areas: Education & Empowerment, Social & Health, and Family Economy. These programs are designed to be general in nature and can be applied by all DWP units across various institutions and regions. The primary focus is to empower members and improve family welfare, in line with DWP’s mission to strengthen the role of women in supporting national development.

Education & Empowerment

This area focuses on enhancing the quality of DWP members through education, training, and personal development activities. The programs aim to improve knowledge, skills, and insights so members become more empowered within their families and communities. Key programs include:

• Training and Courses: Organizing courses, seminars, and workshops in various fields (such as technology, languages, leadership, and household skills) to strengthen members’ competencies and confidence.
• Scholarships and Educational Support: Providing scholarships or financial aid for the children of members with outstanding achievements, to ensure wider access to education and encourage the younger generation to pursue higher education.
• Early Childhood Education Management: Establishing and managing early childhood education facilities, such as DWP-kindergartens and preschools (PAUD). Programs include teacher capacity building and curriculum development to ensure high-quality education for children.
• Literacy and Reading Culture: Promoting a reading culture and access to knowledge by establishing libraries or reading corners for members and families, as well as holding book clubs and knowledge-sharing sessions.

Social & Health

This area aims to improve family well-being and social awareness through community-oriented and health-related activities. Programs emphasize empathy, mutual support, and healthy living. Initiatives include:

• Social Services and Charity: Conducting activities such as social services, fundraising, donations for underprivileged families, visits to orphanages and nursing homes, as well as providing relief for disaster victims.
• Health Campaigns and Counseling: Delivering health education for members and the community, including topics on balanced family nutrition, stunting prevention, maternal and child health, and hygiene practices.
• Family Health Services: Supporting access to primary and preventive health services through partnerships with local health facilities and community health posts (Posyandu), such as regular check-ups, immunizations, blood donations, and reproductive health counseling.
• Clean and Healthy Environment: Promoting environmental awareness through campaigns on waste management, tree planting, recycling, and maintaining clean and green surroundings to support family and community health.

Family Economy

This area focuses on strengthening financial independence and improving family welfare. Programs are designed to empower women to contribute to household income and economic resilience. Key initiatives include:

• Entrepreneurship Training: Providing training and mentoring on small-scale businesses, ranging from home-based culinary products and handicrafts to using digital platforms for marketing.
• Microenterprise and Cooperative Development: Encouraging the establishment of cooperatives and collective businesses to market members’ products, including organizing bazaars, product exhibitions, and affordable markets to support family income.
• Financial Literacy and Household Budgeting: Educating members on financial management, including saving, simple investments, and family budgeting, to build financially resilient households.
• Business Assistance and Access to Capital: Facilitating small-scale financing and partnerships to support members’ micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This includes providing consultation, mentoring, and sustainable business development.

Through these three program areas, Dharma Wanita Persatuan seeks to comprehensively empower its members. Education & Empowerment enhances knowledge and personal capacity, Social & Health fosters empathy and healthier families, and Family Economy builds financial resilience. Together, these initiatives reflect DWP’s vision to play an active role in educating, supporting health, and promoting the welfare of civil servant families and Indonesian society as a whole.
