The GEKI Central Board from Jakarta immediately distributed aid to Bali accompanied by GEIRA Bali regional officials to a number of disaster locations for two days.
"Friends of the GEKIRA central board accompanied by GEKI Bali today in Bali have come directly to distribute aid," said PP GEKIRA General Chair Nikson Silalahi in a written statement to the media, Tuesday (7/10/2025).
This assistance, said Nikson, is also part of GEKIRA's responsibility to the Balinese people.
Nikson hopes that this assistance can help with difficulties and foster optimism for the Balinese people after the flood disaster.
"As a political wing organization, GEIRA has a responsibility to help people affected by disasters throughout Indonesia, as happened in Bali. With this assistance, it is hoped that it can help the difficulties of flood-affected residents in Bali," said Nikson.
Basic food assistance was distributed to a number of affected points in the Denpasar area, including Glogor Carik, Jalan Pulau Buru, Dauh Puri Village, West Denpasar District, Jalan Sutomo, Banjar Balun, North Denpasar, and Ubung Village, Denpasar.
The assistance was handed over directly by the GEKIRA Central Executive, including the Deputy for Social, Culture and Environment of Melki Suawah, the Chair of the Public Health Division of Pdt. Selly Tehipeory, Chairman of the Environment Division of Pdt. Yerry Tawaluyan, Wasekjen Vonny Sumampouw, and Head of the Political Services Cooperation Division James Sumampouw.
They were accompanied by the GEKI Bali management chaired by Yusdi Diaz.
Meanwhile, the Deputy for Social, Cultural and Environmental Affairs of GEKIRA, Melki Suawah, revealed that GEKIRA's presence in society is a form of moral and social responsibility.
"GEIKRA does have a field that specifically handles social problems like this. Therefore, we are here to show concern and a sense of responsibility with the Balinese people affected by the disaster," said Melki.
Melki also expressed his concern after seeing the condition of the residents in the field firsthand.
"We hope that local and central governments can pay more serious attention, not only emergency assistance, but also support for rebuilding damaged facilities and infrastructure. Hopefully GEKIRA's presence here can inspire others to care," he added.
On that occasion, PD GEKIRA Bali Chairman Yusdi Diaz emphasized that this social action was a manifestation of the value of love and concern that became the basis of the GEKIRA movement.
"We are here not only for politics, but also for serving. When our brothers and sisters face disasters, we should step in to help. This is a humanitarian call, and GEIRA will always be present with the affected communities," he said.
