SML integrates care for marginalized or underprivileged groups into its corporate social responsibility (CSR) mission. We aid in fostering a strong and inclusive community for person with disabilities (PWD).

Since 2022, our collaboration with educational institutions like the Special Needs School and a reputable fashion school in Jakarta have provided support for individuals with hearing impairments, autism, and Down syndrome in BSD City.

Aligned with SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, we strive to empower them by boosting confidence in job market integration and equipping them skills for economic independence.

Our comprehensive training covers a spectrum of foundational and innovative learning, from computer literacy to specialised courses in fashion design.

Future plans entail expanding beyond BSD City, collaborating with companies offering apprenticeship and employment opportunities to PWDs. Additionally, we aim to broaden the programme’s market outreach for products designed by PWD, increasing programme visibility and impact.
