Darmanto

Drawing on his own experience, Darmanto, 47, encourages fellow residents with disabilities to live independently. He supports their independence by modifying three-wheeled motorcycles (trikes) for the disabled, which can be paid off in installments over an unlimited period of time. In addition, Darmanto also provides capital assistance to those who start their own businesses.

Darmanto has lower limb disabilities. At home, he uses a wheelchair to aid his daily activities. For traveling outside his home, he uses a three-wheeled motorcycle, also called a trike, or a car that has been modified so he can drive on his own.
