Pegadaian Praya Supports School Infrastructure and Introduces Early Gold Investment
As part of its commitment to supporting community development through its Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) programme, PT Pegadaian (Persero) Praya Branch has donated building materials to support the construction of a new classroom at the Insan Tangkas Foundation, Batukliang District, Central Lombok Regency. The assistance was handed over directly by the Head of the PT Pegadaian Praya Branch Office, Gunaji Agus Wibowo, along with staff members, in May 2026. The foundation and parents warmly welcomed Pegadaian’s presence, hoping the new classroom would create a more comfortable and conducive learning environment.
Gunaji stated that the assistance is part of Pegadaian’s commitment to improving the quality of education, a key pillar of the company’s TJSL programme. “Pegadaian is not solely business-oriented; we also have a social responsibility to contribute to the nation’s intellectual life. We hope this material assistance can accelerate the construction of the classroom so that children can learn with better facilities,” he said on 29 June. He added that investment in education is a long-term investment that will produce a quality generation capable of competing in the future.
In addition to handing over the aid, the Pegadaian team also provided education to the students’ parents on the importance of financial literacy and early investment. During the session, Pegadaian introduced its flagship products, such as gold instalment plans, gold savings, and gold lotteries, which can serve as a safe and affordable solution for financial planning. The parents actively discussed the benefits of gold investment as a relatively stable instrument for preparing for future needs, from children’s education costs to other necessities.
According to Gunaji, improving financial literacy is a crucial part of Pegadaian Praya’s efforts to encourage the community, particularly in Central Lombok, to manage their finances more wisely. “Through this education, we want the public to understand that investing does not require waiting for a large amount of capital. With Pegadaian’s products, people can start investing in gold gradually according to their ability, helping them realise future financial plans,” he explained.
Edy Purwanto, Regional Head of PT Pegadaian Regional Office VII Denpasar, said the TJSL programme is a tangible commitment by Pegadaian to deliver sustainable benefits to the community, especially in the education sector. “Education is the best investment for the nation’s future. Through the TJSL programme, Pegadaian wants to ensure that the company’s presence is felt not only through financial services but also through real contributions to improving the quality of education and public welfare. We hope this assistance provides long-term benefits for children as the nation’s future generation,” he said on Monday (29/6).
He added that Pegadaian will continue to strengthen the synergy between social programmes and the improvement of public financial literacy. He noted that education on gold investment is an important part of building the community’s habit of planning for the future more wisely. “Through Pegadaian’s products, we want to encourage the public to access safe and inclusive financial services more easily and help them achieve various financial goals, including preparing for children’s education costs,” he concluded.
Pegadaian hopes that the synergy between social programmes in education and financial literacy education can provide sustainable benefits for the community. Pegadaian will continue to make real contributions to supporting social development, improving the quality of education, and strengthening public welfare.
