Dede Jubaedah is a street food vendor based in Cianjur who has become a customer of DMS since 2014. After hearing about the DMS scholarship program, Ibu Dede immediately submitted a scholarship application for her daughter, Yani Mulyani, who attended vocational high school. Dede was touched and happy when her proposal was accepted, as it could help pay Yani’s tuition fee.

“With the scholarship, I could help ease off my parents’ burden. I could also afford my own school supplies,” said Yani. She admitted that she has become more motivated in her study due to the scholarship. After graduating, she hopes to land a job at DMS to make a larger positive impact to the community.
