Industry : Telecommunications and Information Technology
Objective: As a form of concern for the community and an effort to support the strengthening of surau functions, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison collaborated with Filantra in the implementation of the Indosat Berkah Ramadhan 2026 – Surau Kita Berdaya Program. Through this program, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison presents various activities aimed at strengthening the values of togetherness, improving the quality of worship facilities, and providing social support for the community around Al-Musyawarah Mosque.
Challenges :
In the implementation of this program, there are several challenges that became the main focus to ensure activities run optimally and provide a sustainable impact for the community, including:
- Limited decent worship facilities to support Ramadhan activities optimally.
- The need for inclusive religious activities for all community groups, from children to the elderly.
- The socio-economic conditions of the affected communities, requiring support in fulfilling basic needs during Ramadhan.
- The suboptimal function of the surau as both a center of worship and a space for community social activities.
- The need to restrengthen the spirit of togetherness and mutual cooperation (gotong royong) within the community environment.
Solutions :
As an effort to address various community needs during the month of Ramadhan, the Indosat Berkah Ramadhan 2026 “Surau Kita Berdaya” Program presents several integrated solutions, namely:
- Conducting minor renovations of the surau/mushola to improve the comfort and feasibility of community worship facilities.
- Organizing a series of inclusive religious activities for various community groups, from children and adults to the elderly.
- Facilitating congregational worship activities such as breaking the fast together (ifthar), congregational prayers, and religious recitations during the three-day program implementation.
- Providing religious education activities for children through Ramadhan creative classes, such as reading Iqro, short surahs, and coloring activities.
- Providing social support through the distribution of Ramadhan packages to marbots as a form of appreciation.
- Providing a space for interaction and community togetherness through activities that involve residents directly.

The implementation of the Indosat Berkah Ramadhan 2026 “Surau Kita Berdaya” Program has provided several positive impacts for the community, including:
- Increased community comfort in carrying out worship activities following the improvement of surau/mushola facilities.

Strengthening the Role of the Surau as a Center for Worship and Togetherness

The surau is not only a place of worship but also a space for community togetherness. The Indosat Berkah Ramadhan 2026 “Surau Kita Berdaya” Program is here to strengthen this function through religious activities, facility improvements, and social support during the month of Ramadhan.
This program is a collaboration between Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and Filantra in delivering a real impact for the community. Filantra also opens opportunities for collaboration with various parties to jointly deliver sustainable social programs.
