Objective
The CAKRA (Community Health Check) Supplementary Food Program in Depok, an initiative of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk as part of its Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER) efforts, aims to improve the health and nutritional status of the community in RW 07, Harjamukti Village, Depok City. The program is implemented through the distribution of Supplementary Food (PMT) packages, accompanied by health checkups and health education at the Edelweiss Waste Bank, as an effort to support daily nutritional needs and foster awareness of the importance of living a healthy life sustainably.
Challenges
Good nutrition and access to basic health services are crucial for community well-being, yet vulnerable groups often struggle to obtain them. The main challenges addressed by this program are:
- Vulnerable groups including toddlers, pregnant women, the elderly, and those in need require support to meet their nutritional needs.
- Access to basic health services such as early detection, nutritional status monitoring, and health consultations needs to be brought closer to the community.
- Public awareness regarding balanced nutrition and Clean and Healthy Living Practices (PHBS) needs to be strengthened to prevent various diseases.
- The Edelweiss Waste Bank, as a center for community empowerment, needs to be strengthened so it can also serve as a hub for health activities.
Solution
PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk, in collaboration with Filantra, implemented this program on May 9, 2026, at the Edelweiss Waste Bank in RW 07, Harjamukti Village, Depok City. The program combined nutritional assistance with basic health services:
• Supplementary Food Distribution (PMT) 400 packages of nutritious supplementary food were distributed to beneficiaries.
• Blood pressure checks as a measure for early detection of residents’ health conditions.
• Weight and height measurements: to monitor the physical condition and nutritional status of beneficiaries.
• Health consultations: providing residents with the opportunity to receive information and advice regarding their health conditions.
• Education sessions on balanced nutrition and healthy living practices (PHBS), covering nutritious eating habits, a healthy lifestyle, and disease prevention.
The event was attended by representatives from PGN’s Community Development team, Ms. Devy and Ms. Vany, who interacted directly with residents. Health workers, community volunteers, and managers of the Edelweiss Waste Bank also supported the smooth implementation of the program.
