PGN Distributes Aid to 8,275 Orphaned Children During Ramadan 2026
PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) has reaffirmed its commitment to benefiting society through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme. One such initiative was realised through the 2026 Ramadan Safari activity, which distributed assistance to more than 359 foundations reaching approximately 8,275 children across various regions of Indonesia.
The distribution of assistance also formed part of the commemoration of Nuzulul Quran, an event of significant importance to Muslims marking the revelation of the Qur’an as a life guide. Through this activity, the company sought to foster a spirit of sharing and strengthen the values of solidarity during the holy month of Ramadan.
PGN’s Chief Commissioner, Tony Setia Boedi Hoesodo, stated that Ramadan was an appropriate moment to reinforce the values of care and social solidarity.
“Ramadan serves as a reminder for us all to continuously maintain values of goodness in every activity, including in our work. I also continuously remind all PGN personnel to safeguard health and work safety as our primary priority so that we can carry out our duties well whilst providing broader benefits to society,” Tony said on Monday (9 March).
The assistance distributed consisted of cash grants provided to various foundations for distribution to orphaned and underprivileged children in the vicinity of the company’s operational areas. The distribution covered several regions, including Sumatra, West Java, DKI Jakarta, Central Java, DI Yogyakarta, East Java, and Kalimantan. In addition to cash assistance, the company also distributed Qur’an packages and educational comics containing biographical stories of successful figures, heroes, and inspirational legends. This assistance was intended for disaster-affected children in the Sumatra region.
PGN’s Director General, Arief Kurnia Risdianto, stated that this assistance activity also served as a reminder for all company personnel to use the Qur’an as a guide in living life and making decisions.
“We are providing assistance to our brothers and sisters in need, particularly orphaned children. This also reminds us to use the Qur’an as a guide in our lives, including in our actions, policies, and decisions we make,” he said.
Arief also emphasised the importance of rectifying intentions in every task carried out by PGN personnel as part of efforts to provide the best contribution to the company. According to him, work performed was not merely a professional responsibility but was also expected to bring blessings and positive impact to the company’s progress.
“May what we do receive the blessing of God and provide positive implications for the company, whilst bringing benefits to the assistance recipients. Let us continue to strive to do better,” Arief concluded.
