JAKARTA - PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) as a Gas Subholding of Pertamina through Regional II - Offtake Cimanggis Station has carried out the HARUM BERSERI CSR Program (Harjamukti Excellent Society, Healthy, and Independent) in Harjamukti Village, Depok, West Java as an effort to empower inclusive communities, especially for the elderly. This program aims to maintain the role of the elderly to remain active, productive, and have good quality of life.
Through HARUM BERSERI, various activities are carried out, including free health checks, elderly schools, elderly garden activities, and the development of elderly UMKM corners in the Energy Park of RW 10 Harjamukti Village. "The elderly are actively involved as community drivers, so that they can strengthen their social role and self-confidence," said PGN Corporate Secretary, Fajriyah Usman, in a statement, Thursday, December 18.
This program puts forward the principle of PGN collaboration with residents, and various stakeholders according to their respective roles. In the elderly garden activity, the collaboration opens up space for the elderly to continue to innovate, one of which is through Biowell-Composting Innovation as a new innovation in the city of Depok according to the Field Assistant of the Food Security, Fisheries, and Agriculture Office of the City of Depok.
Biowell composting innovation is a way for people and companies to overcome the problem of organic waste in the community which is processed into fertilizer in a teba. This can also be one of the alternative solutions for the elderly farmer group to start switching to organic fertilizer from processed people around.
Not only the social impact is felt, but the economic impact felt by the community is quite significant, from the Elderly Power Garden, the elderly can generate an economic impact of around Rp. 1,200,000/month, from the Garbage Bank managed by 6 garbage banks generate an economic impact of around Rp. 3,200,000/month, and the presence of the Elderly Corner UMKM can provide an economic impact of around Rp. 13,500,000/month.
"Overall, PGN through the HARUM BERSERI CSR program encourages the elderly to stay healthy, independent, and empowered, as well as to be an example of community empowerment that places the elderly as the subject of development in Depok City," concluded Fajriyah.
