KOBAGAS Basic Food Assistance Program
Partner: PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN)
Industry: Energy & Oil
Objective: The Community Bajaj Gas (KOBAGAS) Basic Food Package Assistance Program, launched by PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) in collaboration with Filantra, aims to alleviate the economic burden and improve the welfare of the community members, while also ensuring equitable access to staple foods. Through the distribution of these basic food packages, this program is not only a form of social care but also a strategic effort to strengthen local food security and reinforce sustainable synergy and partnership between the company, the community, and the public.
Challenges:
- Limited economic access and a social aid distribution system that has not yet reached all parties equally. This condition often traps them in difficulties to obtain a decent standard of living.
- A very high proportion of expenditure on food, which causes many underprivileged families to be forced to allocate most of their income just to meet basic food needs. Consequently, the budget for other important aspects such as education, healthcare, or savings is often sacrificed.
- Fluctuations in the prices of basic necessities are not just numbers in the market. For families with tight finances, this condition adds weight to the burden they already carry.
Solution:
As a real commitment to strengthening food security and alleviating the economic burden on the community, PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk together with Filantra presents the KOBAGAS Basic Food Package Assistance Program. This program is specifically intended for KOBAGAS members to help fulfill their families’ basic needs, improve welfare, and ensure equitable food access. More than just social assistance, this initiative is a strategic synergy that strengthens the relationship between the company, the community, and the public, creating a solid foundation for local resilience and sustainable growth.
Impact:
- The basic food packages containing various staples help alleviate the economic burden on KOBAGAS member families. This assistance is crucial as most community members come from underprivileged groups who struggle to meet their daily living needs.
- This program enhances food security and welfare by guaranteeing access to staple foods, aligning with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) to prevent hunger and improve family nutrition quality.
- The presence of PT PGN’s directors during the aid handover is a tangible form of the company’s commitment to the community. This makes KOBAGAS members feel highly valued and assisted, fostering hope that this cooperation can continue in the future.
