BRI Cares Distributes 2,000 Food Packages Ahead of Nyepi in Bali
To commemorate Nyepi Day (Saka New Year 1948), BRI, through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity BRI Cares, distributed aid in the form of 2,000 food packages to the Hindu community in Desa Angseri, Kecamatan Baturiti, Tabanan Regency, as well as in Desa Sarimekar, Kecamatan Buleleng, Buleleng Regency, Bali Province.
Each food package provided consists of 10 kg of rice, cooking oil, granulated sugar, and various other basic necessities. The aid was handed over directly to the community at Balai Desa Angseri and Balai Banjar Desa Sarimekar as a tangible expression of concern for the community’s needs ahead of the Nyepi Day celebration.
BRI Corporate Secretary Dhanny stated that the distribution of food aid through the BRI Cares programme represents the company’s commitment to fulfilling its social responsibilities while strengthening relations with the community, particularly the Hindu community celebrating Nyepi Day.
“The distribution of this food aid is part of BRI’s commitment to continuously provide real benefits to the community and to strengthen the spirit of sharing during Nyepi Day. We hope this aid can help the people of Desa Angseri and Desa Sarimekar,” he said in a written statement on Thursday (19/3/2026).
Furthermore, Dhanny added that as part of Danantara, BRI aims to support the creation of sustainable community welfare. Through various CSR programmes, BRI continues to strive to deliver tangible positive impacts, especially for communities in areas that need it.
The Head of Desa Angseri, Nyoman Warnata, expressed his appreciation for the attention and aid provided by BRI Cares. According to him, the aid is very helpful for the community in meeting basic needs, especially ahead of Nyepi Day, which is associated with increased household requirements.
“We, the people of Desa Angseri, feel greatly assisted, as this aid certainly lightens our community’s burden. We hope this synergy continues to be maintained between the residents of Desa Angseri and BRI,” he said.
The same sentiment was felt by the people of Desa Sarimekar, who welcomed the aid warmly. BRI’s presence through the BRI Cares programme is seen not only as providing material assistance but also as strengthening the sense of togetherness and social concern within the community.
For information, Desa Angseri is one of the 2023 BRILiaN Villages that received an award as the Village with the Best Governance due to the optimal management of water resources utilised for the benefit of the village residents. This success makes Desa Angseri an example of a village capable of managing local potential effectively and sustainably.
The Desa BRILiaN programme itself is a village empowerment initiative launched by BRI with the aim of creating role models for village development in Indonesia. The programme focuses on enhancing village capacity, strengthening governance, and developing local economic potential as part of BRI’s role as an agent of development.
Through various social and empowerment programmes implemented, BRI hopes to continue providing tangible contributions to improving the quality of life for the community, while also strengthening values of togetherness and mutual cooperation amid Indonesia’s diversity.
