Gallery

Members of the Community Development Forum (CDF) from Malabar, Pasir Malang, and Kanaan shared various insights and experiences they have gained throughout their participation in the forum. These were presented during the Mid-Term Review Dissemination Workshop organized by CARE Indonesia on Thursday (10/07), at the Grand Sunshine Hotel in Soreang, Bandung District.

The purpose of this workshop was to reflect on the progress, challenges, and lessons learned since the establishment of the CDF. It is hoped that through this event, solutions can be found to enhance the impact of the CDF on tea plantation workers, thereby improving their overall welfare.

The event was attended by 30 participants, including CDF members, representatives from the regional office of PT Perkebunan Nusantara, PT Kapebe Chakra, the village heads of Banjarsari, Margaluyu, and Indragiri, as well as representatives from the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP).

CARE Indonesia continues to enhance its efforts in disaster and emergency preparedness. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) South Sulawesi to reinforce emergency response preparedness (11/07). This collaboration includes the provision of hygiene kits, storage, and distribution to community groups — including women in need — in disaster-prone areas.

The 140 hygiene kits were handed over to PMI South Sulawesi as well as logistic maintenance fund. Each kit includes a bucket, bar soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, detergent, sanitary pads, a jerry can, and a dipper. These kits will be distributed during emergency situations, based on the needs of affected communities particularly women and children.
