Enabling Potential Beyond Limits

Despite a physical disability, Aldo Triawan Saputra is dedicated to uplifting his community. Between managing daily operations at his family stall on GrabFood and funding a local tutoring programme, he is now pursuing Mathematics Education at Universitas Islam Negeri Syekh Wasil Kediri to become an educator.

“With my mother as a Grab merchant-partner and the support of GrabScholar, I can pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. I want to prove that physical limitations do not define a person’s potential.”
