JAKARTA – It’s mid-Ramadan, and the Eid buzz is slowly growing in Indonesia, with mothers busy prepping ingredients and ticking off grocery lists for the big feast. During this time of the year, nearly every household is also involved in cookie baking, a time-old tradition.
Like previous years, Atikah Solihat is cooking for visiting families. But rising food prices, which are common before Eid, have put a huge pressure on her coffers. Staple food donations would mean the world for this Pancoran local, who later joined Korindo Foundation’s aid handover on Tuesday (3/18).
“On behalf of the Pancoran residents, I would like to thank Korindo [Foundation] for the unwavering attention. These donations would really help those in need,” Atikah said.
This year, Korindo Foundation distributed 100 food kits to communities in six Pancoran urban villages under the Korindo Charity Week program. The handover took place at the Pancoran Subdistrict office.
This activity is part of Korindo Group’s efforts to care for its neighbors, said Korindo Foundation’s General Secretary Lee Sunghoon.
“We share and provide aid as part of a commitment to giving local communities care and attention. We hope these food kits will benefit you and add to the joy this Ramadan.”
Donating also shows the company’s dedication to building strong relationships with the people. Korindo Group and Foundation hope to create good synergy with those around them.

Rahmat Basuki, Pancoran Urban Village leader, praised Korindo Group’s initiative. “Korindo has contributed a lot to community, but in particular the Pancoran community. [With] this approach, our [company-community] bond has grown stronger. We really appreciate the company’s efforts to directly improve our well-being,” Basuki said.
Through this social initiative, Korindo Group strives to positively impact the society to meet its social responsibility. Driven by the spirit of sharing and caring, Korindo hopes to continuously promote prosperity and better quality of life in the surrounding areas. (PR)
