It is known that so far the export of nickel products, which is a downstream step carried out by Indonesia, has continued to increase. In 2022 alone, the value could reach up to 33.81 billion US dollars or around 504.2 trillion Rupiah, which figure shows an increase of up to 745 percent from the export value in 2017.

Because of the strong commitment that the 54 year old leader has in building, realizing and continuing to encourage the entire community to be able to realize economic independence, this has inspired a group of volunteers who call themselves Mak Ganjar in West Sumatra Province (Sumbar).
These volunteers are also determined to continue to be able to provide many benefits in every activity they carry out in the community, especially these activities are aimed at women or mothers.
One of the series of useful activities carried out by volunteers from the Presidential Candidate (Capres) party led by Megawati Soekarnoputri was to invite mothers on Jalan Sapek Raya Kampung Jambak, Batipuh Panjang Subdistrict, Koto Tengah District, Padang, West Sumatra to continue working through knitting training.

Apart from the fact that the training efforts they carried out had great potential and economic value, the activities carried out by volunteers from supporters of the leaders born in Karanganyar Regency also turned out to have many other benefits because they could also be used by mothers to fill their free time. them with positive activities.
The reason is, Ulfa considers that by filling your free time with lots of useful activities such as knitting, it will clearly be able to relieve stress, including being able to train your muscles, develop your cognitive brain and can further increase the self-confidence of women in West Sumatra.
Apart from that, by knitting activities they can also look for various kinds of new inspiration, which they can then make for themselves or give to loved ones. Not only that, but the knitted products can also be used as home industry products to further increase the role of MSME players and also empower women.
