OASE-KIM gave awards to 11 women with merit and achievements in Jambi Province during the Kartini Day Celebration, including Juliana – a woman from the Anak Dalam tribe.
Going to college for Juliana was like walking on a road that had holes and gravel - it wasn't smooth. She is the first woman from the Anak Dalam tribe in Jambi who is studying at Muhammadiyah University (UM) Jambi.
"We are currently entering the sixth semester," said the tall girl. Juliana is now a role model for younger siblings in her community, Dwi Karya Bakti Village, Pelepat District, Bungo Regency. If you ask school-age girls about their desire to continue their education, they will definitely answer: "I want to go to college like Juli, Mom."
Juliana's firm stance in going to school made OASE-KIM award her as a Woman with Merit and Achievement in the Field of Education. Juliana is an inspirational figure who has proven that women from the Anak Dalam tribe have extraordinary potential and are able to overcome various challenges.
