YAKKUM Emergency Unit (YEU), with funding support from its partner Arbeiterwohlfahrt International (AWO International), partnered with village governments and the Cianjur Regency Population and Civil Registration Agency to provide identity card services to the community, especially elderly people, people with disabilities, and pregnant women. The activity took place in five villages in the Cugenang and Pacet Districts of Cianjur Regency.

Nia Novi Hertini, the head of Ciputri Village, appreciated the activity. She emphasized the importance of having identity cards for citizens and thanked YEU for its support in the production or renewal of KTP, KK, and KIA cards, especially for residents of Ciputri Village who are included in the elderly, people with disabilities, and pregnant women groups. The head of Ciputri Village also reminded the importance of keeping and using identity cards carefully. She also informed that KTPs that are not yet electronic-based will be re-recorded to be converted into electronic cards.

Yudi Nugraha, the Head of Population Registration Services at the Cianjur Regency Population and Civil Registration Agency, was also present at the identity card production activity in Ciputri Village.

The activity involved active participation from the village community. Residents came with enthusiasm to make identity cards in the village without having to go far to the city of Cianjur. They realized the importance of having identity cards to get help, travel, and seek medical treatment.

At the end of the activity, one of the community members who became a volunteer expressed her appreciation and hope. She thanked for the opportunity to help the community, especially the elderly, people with disabilities, and pregnant women, to get KTP and KK cards. She hopes that similar activities can be carried out in other villages for the general public who need KTP or KK cards.

During August, YEU with the Disdukcapil successfully assisted and implemented this program in five YEU-supported villages in Cianjur Regency. The activity demonstrated a joint commitment from various parties to ensure that every citizen has access to identity cards, which are a fundamental right of every citizen. The activity is a concrete step in addressing the basic needs of the community, especially the high risk group during disasters.

It is hoped that this activity can continue to benefit the community and help them access government assistance services through the identity cards they have received.
