Community Efforts Shine During Ramadan Charity Events

Local government initiatives engage residents with essential support and legal aid, fostering unity throughout Ramadan.

In a heartwarming series of events across Indonesia, various government agencies and organizations dedicated their efforts towards community service, emphasizing solidarity during the holy month of Ramadan. On March 21, 2025, Kakanwil Kemenkum NTB, I Gusti Putu Milawati, alongside her team, launched a social service initiative in Desa Beleka, Lombok Barat. This event was part of a series of charitable activities aimed at providing free legal aid and addressing community issues during Ramadan.

During the event, Milawati announced a collaboration with the Head of Desa Beleka to develop a community group called Kelompok Keluarga Sadar Hukum (Kadarkum), facilitating legal support for local residents. "So, ladies and gentlemen, if there are any legal issues in the future, we at Kemenkum NTB are ready to assist you in obtaining free legal assistance," Mila stated, reinforcing the program's commitment to aiding the community.

In a similar vein, the community-focused efforts were not limited to legal aid. PT Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) also took active measures to support residents in Bogor, delivering essential food packages on March 21. Through its branch office in Bogor, the bank provided a total of 465 food packages as part of its Ramadan Safari with the theme 'Ramadhan Berlimpah, BNI Berbagi.' Branch Manager Christa Primaresta expressed gratitude to the community while handing over the packages to Bogor's Mayor, Dedie A. Rachim.

Rachim emphasized the importance of these contributions, stating, "We are grateful to receive this package. It will be forwarded to the Community Welfare Department to ensure it reaches those truly in need, including mustahik." This initiative reflects BNI's ongoing commitment to societal welfare and highlights the bank's role in the community's well-being.

On the same day, the Mahakam Ulu Police Department held its own social service event, distributing aid to vulnerable community members and police personnel in the region. AKBP Anthony Rybok, the Chief of Police for Mahakam Ulu, expressed the importance of these efforts, noting that they aim to ease the burden on community members during the festive season. "We hope this assistance can lighten the burden for the community and benefit our personnel on duty," he remarked.

The assistance packages included essential groceries such as rice, cooking oil, sugar, and instant noodles, underscoring the police's commitment to maintaining community safety and support throughout Ramadan.

Additionally, on March 22, Bupati Bengkalis Kasmarni, alongside the Vice Bupati, engaged in a social gathering known as Safari Ramadan in Kecamatan Rupat. In this meeting, they delivered multiple assistance packages to the community, which included contributions from Bank Riau Kepri to assist houses of worship and aid for underprivileged residents.

Kasmarni's speech highlighted the importance of community connection and improving the welfare of residents, saying, "Through this event, we hope to strengthen ties with the community and address their grievances. We also aim to provide positive impact during Ramadan with the help we deliver."

As part of ongoing development efforts, Kasmarni announced allocations for various infrastructure projects within Kecamatan Rupat, which include the construction of bridges and road improvements, illustrating a commitment to long-term community growth.

Across these various events, a clear message resonated: community solidarity and support play a pivotal role during Ramadan. Local governments and organizations are addressing immediate needs while also laying the groundwork for future development and resilience among residents.

These acts of kindness and collaboration paint a hopeful picture of cooperation and mutual support during a time that emphasizes compassion and community ties. It is through these collective efforts that the spirit of Ramadan is truly brought to life, fostering a sense of belonging and togetherness among the people.
