Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) for Central Jakarta\nis targeting a fundraising total of Rp5.5 billion through the 2026 PMI\nFundraising Month, which will run for three months from 1 September to\n30 November 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Rp5.5 billion target is not merely a number. Behind this target\nlies the need to ensure that PMI remains ready to provide services\nwhenever the community requires assistance,\u201d said the Chairman of PMI\nCentral Jakarta, Asep Djuanda Sunarya, during the launch of the 2026\nCentral Jakarta PMI Fundraising Month in Jakarta on Thursday.<\/p>\n
He stated that the funds collected during the 2026 Fundraising Month\nwill be used to support various humanitarian service programmes in 2027.\nThese programmes include disaster emergency response, healthcare\nservices, ambulance services, clinics, first aid posts, the development\nof Youth Red Cross (PMR) and volunteers, organisational development, and\ndrought preparedness.<\/p>\n
In addition to supporting community services, the funds are also\nnecessary to maintain PMI\u2019s operational continuity, including personnel\nrequirements, maintenance of buildings, vehicles, and ambulances, as\nwell as other operational needs.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, this year\u2019s fundraising will involve various elements of\nthe Central Jakarta community, ranging from neighbourhood heads (RT\/RW),\nsub-districts, and districts to civil servants (ASN), ministries, state\ninstitutions, the business sector, and the general public.<\/p>\n
Asep noted that support gathered through previous PMI Fundraising\nMonths has been utilised for various humanitarian service\nactivities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen there is a fire, PMI is present. When the community needs an\nambulance, PMI is present. When the community needs social assistance,\nPMI is present. And when a disaster occurs, PMI must be ready to be in\nthe midst of the community,\u201d Asep emphasised.<\/p>\n
As of June 2026, PMI Central Jakarta has provided ambulance services\nto 2,069 patients and 112 hearse services. In handling fire emergency\nresponses, PMI Central Jakarta has also distributed 5,410 boxes of rice,\n613 school kits, 472 hygiene kits, 465 family kits, and 62 tarpaulins to\naffected residents.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in supporting the \u2018Keep Jakarta Clean\u2019 movement, PMI\ndistributed 1,000 hoes, 980 shovels, 198 trolleys, 500 boxes of masks,\nand 1,000 sacks to support community cleaning activities.<\/p>\n
Asep believes that this data demonstrates that community support\nthrough the PMI Fundraising Month does not remain just a figure in a\nreport, but is realised through humanitarian services. He expressed hope\nthat all elements of the Central Jakarta community would participate so\nthat the Rp5.5 billion target can be achieved and PMI\u2019s service capacity\ncan be strengthened.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us make the PMI Fundraising Month a collective movement, because\nhumanitarian issues are our shared responsibility,\u201d Asep concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/central-jakarta-pmi-targets-rp5-5-billion-for-2026-fundraising-month-1788415540", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
