Ahead of Eid, BRI Cares Distributes 279,000 Basic Food Packages and Orphan Support
PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BRI) consistently channels assistance to communities to honour and respect the sanctity of Ramadan. This step is taken as a form of corporate social responsibility and concern for others.
To this end, BRI through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme “BRI Cares” has launched the “Sharing Happiness Together with BRI” activity during the Ramadan 2026 period. The assistance provided consists of 279,000 packages of basic foodstuffs distributed to communities across various regions in Indonesia and support for 8,500 orphans in various orphanages throughout the country.
Each basic food package contains rice, cooking oil, sugar, and other essential necessities. Distribution is carried out by representatives of BRI’s 18 regional offices spread across Indonesia, involving all BRI Group employees.
BRI’s Corporate Secretary Dhanny stated that the Sharing Happiness Together with BRI programme is a social care initiative organised by BRI Cares in collaboration with YBM BRILiaN during the holy month of Ramadan to strengthen social solidarity and deliver tangible benefits to communities.
“We ensure that assistance reaches communities by involving all BRI workers at every unit across all regions of Indonesia. We also hope that the basic food packages and orphan support can help ease the burden on communities and residents, as well as orphans living in care facilities,” he said in a written statement on Tuesday 17 March 2026.
He noted that the programme also aligns with the government’s Asta Cita, whereby distribution of basic food assistance aims to ensure the fulfilment of basic community needs and strengthen tolerance amongst religious communities to achieve a just and prosperous society.
“BRI consistently fulfils its social obligations, strengthens its role as one of the pillars of the national economy, and provides positive benefits for the environment and surrounding communities,” Dhanny explained.
Separately, Agus Surahman, representing residents of Menteng Dalam subdistrict, Tebet district, South Jakarta, stated that the provision of basic food assistance from BRI Cares helped ease the economic burden and encourage improved nutrition for communities in his area.
“We are very grateful for this programme and we thank BRI for their care and concern. This also strengthens our bonds and fellowship as residents with BRI, which is always close to us and helpful,” he said.
