PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) in collaboration with the South Sumatra Province Social Welfare Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR Kessos) Forum and the South Sumatra Public Housing & Settlement Area Service (Disperkim) handed over home improvement grants on Thursday, December 29, 2022.
There were three uninhabitable houses that were renovated in Kertapati District (1 unit in the Kemang Agung Village and 2 units in the Keramasan Village) and one unit in Ilir Barat I Palembang District (Ilir Village 35).
PTBA Vice President of Sustainability Hartono, Head of the South Sumatra Disperkim Basyaruddin Akhmad, Secretary of the South Sumatra Disperkim Hendrian, Head of the South Sumatra Social Welfare CSR Forum J Rianthony Nata Kusuma, Member of Indonesian Regional Representative Council (DPD RI) Commission IV Arniza Nilawaty and others attended the event.
"We would like to extend our gratitude to Almighty God that we have completed one of our CSR programs in Palembang City, supporting PTBA Kertapati Unit and South Sumatra Social Welfare CSR Forum by conducting house renovations. We have conducted around 25 to 30 house renovations this year, including 4 housing units in Palembang, and others near the operational area in Muara Enim Regency. We hope that these house improvements would bring benefits to the beneficiaries," said Hartono.
According to Head of the South Sumatra Disperkim H Basyaruddin Akhmad, his institution had allocated a budget for 40 house renovations in slum areas. Meanwhile, through the Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance (BSPS) program of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) and also the Special Allocation Fund (DAK), there were about 5,000 house units receiving home improvement grants in regencies and cities in South Sumatra.
"In the future, there will be assistance for Earthquake Resistant Growing Core Houses (RITTA) in Banteng Base, Banyuasin Regency, Prabumulih City, and Palembang City," said Basyaruddin Akhmad.
DPD RI member Arniza Nilawaty gave her appreciation to the Head of the South Sumatra Disperkim for conducting the house renovation program seriously. "We know the criteria for uninhabitable resident houses can have very far-reaching impact related to their nutrition, health and the children’s future," she said.
