TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The life insurance company Hanwha Life officially handed over the "Mobile Family Center" to the Indonesian government on Thursday, January 16, at Jakarta City Hall. Designed to establish psychological and emotional safety nets for women and children, the "Mobile Family Center" aims to directly support underserved areas by providing mobile services.
The newly launched “Mobile Family Center” consists of a specially modified vehicle equipped with a counseling room, nursing room, and lounge. This mobile service will visit various regions on designated days, with the experts providing psychological counseling and self-reliance support programs. By offering this mobile center, access to welfare services will improve, eliminating the need for people to travel long distances to receive mental health services.
The Technical Service Unit for the Center for Women and Children Protection in Jakarta handled 1,682 cases of violence against women and children throughout 2023. Addressing the increasing cases of violence against women and children undoubtedly requires targeted solutions. The innovation of the Mobile Digital Family Center is expected to be a strategic step in strengthening the protection of women and children.
Hanwha Life's new mobile counseling service is designed to operate in multiple locations. The mobile unit allows counselors to be closer to the community, enabling them to report issues they are experiencing, especially those related to violence against women and children. This innovation simplifies access to counseling services, especially for those reluctant or unsure of how to report their problems.
Inside the “Mobile Family Center” vehicle, Teguh Setyabudi, Acting Governor of Jakarta, Indonesia (left), and Hong Jeong-pyo, Vice President of Hanwha Life (right), pose for a commemorative photo with counselor and beneficiary child.
The handover ceremony was attended by over 200 participants, including Teguh Setyabudi, Acting Governor of Jakarta, Hong Jeong-pyo, Vice President of Hanwha Life, Rosianto Hamid, Chief Program Impact Creation of Save the Children Indonesia, Mochamad Miftahulloh Tamary, Director of the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection, government officials, child protection agencies, and residents.
The attendees had the opportunity to experience the services provided inside the counseling vehicle firsthand. They also shared feedback from residents, children, and counselors to discuss ways to operate the center more effectively and practically.
Hong Jeong-pyo, Vice President of Hanwha Life, stated, "We are delighted to provide essential support to the Indonesian community, especially the residents of Jakarta, through the 'Mobile Family Center.' We will continue to uphold our social responsibilities to contribute to improving the quality of life for the residents."
Since entering the Indonesian market in 2012, Hanwha Life has been deeply involved in social initiatives, including volunteer work for children in underserved areas, the establishment of community child centers, and youth entrepreneurship academies.
Looking ahead, Hanwha Life plans to expand its community-centered initiatives globally, focusing on inclusive finance and outreach programs to make a meaningful impact on the lives of vulnerable populations.
