Jakarta, May 6th,2023 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) is collaborating with the DKI Jakarta Youth and Sports Service (Diaspora) in providing support to three Special Olympic Indonesia (SOIna) athletes who will take part in the championship at the Special Olympics World Summer Games (SOWSG) ) 2023. Before heading to the SOWSG championship, UT, with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Diaspora, we carried out the extrication of the SOIna delegation, which took place at the Jakarta International Verdrome Field.
Three delegates from DKI Jakarta Province will represent Indonesia at the SOWSG at this extrication. The three delegations consisted of two athletes: Latipah Zahfir from artistic gymnastics, Afrah Nada A. from rhythmic gymnastics, and coach Elma Maulida W. from table tennis. The three delegations will undergo a national training camp (Pelatnas) for approximately one month, starting on May 7th, 2023, in Semarang and then departing for Berlin, Germany.
Through the “Inspiring Youth” program, UT supports outstanding young athletes to maximize their potential. In this case, UT with the DKI Jakarta Diaspora guides athletes with disabilities to develop their abilities, mentally and physically. UT implemented this effort as a form of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
UT also collaborates with Special Olympic Indonesia (SOIna) Jakarta Branch in conducting training. SOIna is the only organization in Indonesia that has received accreditation from Special Olympics International (SOI) to organize sports training and competitions for mentally retarded (intellectually disabled) citizens in Indonesia.

Through this program, UT continues to strive to put forward the principles of corporate sustainability that have a positive impact on society,” said Himawan Sutanto, UT’s CSR Manager.
UT hopes these three delegations can achieve proud achievements to make Indonesia proud on the international stage. In addition, UT’s active contribution to developing the potential of Indonesia’s young generation has a positive impact on the athletes being coached and can also inspire people in Indonesia.
