Equality for disabilities does not only apply in public facilities, but also in the world of sports. Sports can be an encouragement for people with disabilities to show off their achievements on an international scale.
To support this spirit, two leading SuperApps in Southeast Asia and Indonesia, Grab and OVO, are collaborating to support the 11th ASEAN Para Games 2022 in Indonesia. This support is also in line with the theme of this sporting event, namely Together be Win.
Chairman of the Indonesia, ASEAN Para Games Organizing Committee (INASPOC) Gibran Rakabuming Raka thanked Grab and OVO for their support for this event. He hopes that the 11th ASEAN Para Games 2022 can motivate many people to continue to make achievements in various things, including sports.
“Therefore, we welcome contributions from Grab and OVO, which really help us in realizing these expectations through various activities,” said Raka on Saturday.
The man who also serves as the Mayor of Solo also invites all parties to contribute to this Southeast Asian disability sports event. By making these contributions, this event is not only enjoyed by people with disabilities, but also the entire community.
“Of course, it is a challenge for us to organize a disability sports party of this size, for that we really appreciate the support of all parties. We want the 11th ASEAN Para Games 2022 to be felt and celebrated by all parties, not just people with disabilities,” said Gibran.
On the same occasion, President of Grab Indonesia Ridzki Kramadibrata said, this support cannot be separated from Grab’s commitment to providing equality for the community, including people with disabilities. This commitment can also be seen in Grab’s passion and hard work to continue to make Indonesia and Southeast Asia proud by becoming a partner of the 11th ASEAN Para Games 2022.
“Equality for all, including people with disabilities, is one of Grab’s main commitments. We are proud to be part of this historic moment and support Indonesia’s journey to hosting the largest disability multi-sport event in Southeast Asia after five years of absence. The tenacity, hard work, and trust of the athletes in breaking through limitations have inspired Grab to continue its efforts to bring Indonesia and Southeast Asia forward,” said Ridzki.
Ridzki added the support of the digital platform ecosystem can provide the same champion spirit for anyone. This is evidenced by the Grab award for Indonesian athletes and coaches who brought home gold medals at the 2021 Paralympics, which will take place in Tokyo, namely Leani Ratri Oktalia, Khalimatus Sadiyah, and Hary Susanto.
Invite Volunteers and SMEs
In addition to awards, Grab also opens opportunities for driver-partners with disabilities or not in Surakarta, to participate as volunteers during the activity. To make it easier for volunteers and committees, Grab also provides environmentally friendly electric scooters to facilitate mobility during the event.
As a form of support for MSMEs, Grab and OVO also collaborated with INASPOC to provide various attractive promos during the event which takes place from July 26 to August 6, 2022, one of which is by providing thousands of discount vouchers for GrabCar, GrabBike, and GrabFood services using the promo code PARAGAMES.
This voucher can be used by the public to travel to and from the match location in three cities/districts, including Semarang, Surakarta, and Karanganyar as well as the Grabfood food promo which is a collection of MSMEs and Local Legends .
