Pegadaian Praya Supports School Infrastructure Development and Introduces Gold Investment Early

PT Pegadaian (Persero) Praya Branch has once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting community development through its Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) programme. On this occasion, Pegadaian distributed assistance in the form of building materials to support the construction of new classrooms at the Insan Tangkas Foundation, located in the Batukliang District, Central Lombok Regency.

he assistance was personally handed over by the Branch Manager of PT Pegadaian (Persero) Praya Office, Gunaji Agus Wibowo, alongside staff members, in May 2026. The presence of Pegadaian was warmly received by the foundation, teachers, and parents, who hope that the construction of new classrooms will create a more comfortable and conducive learning environment for students.

Gunaji Agus Wibowo stated that this assistance is part of Pegadaian’s commitment to supporting the improvement of educational quality, which serves as one of the main pillars of Pegadaian’s TJSL programme.

“Pegadaian is not only oriented towards business services, but also holds a social responsibility to contribute to the intellectual advancement of the nation. We hope this material assistance can accelerate the construction of classrooms so that children can learn with better facilities,” said Gunaji on Monday, 29 June 2026.

He added that investing in the field of education is a long-term investment that will produce a high-quality next generation capable of competing in the future.

In addition to delivering the assistance, the Pegadaian team also provided education to parents regarding the importance of financial literacy and early investment. During the socialisation session, Pegadaian introduced various flagship products, such as Gold Installments (Cicil Emas), gold savings, and Gold Arisan (Arisan Emas), which serve as affordable and secure financial planning solutions for the community.

There was high enthusiasm among the parents, who actively participated in discussions regarding the benefits of gold investment as a relatively stable instrument for preparing for future needs, ranging from children’s education costs to other necessities.

According to Gunaji, increasing financial literacy is a vital part of Pegadaian Praya’s efforts to encourage the community to become more prudent in managing their finances, particularly in the Central Lombok region.

“Through this education, we want the community to understand that investing does not require large sums of money. With Pegadaian’s products, the public can begin investing in gold gradually according to their means, helping to realise various future financial plans,” he explained.
