Celebrating Ramadan 2023, PRPP Distributes 1,000 Basic Food Packages to Jenu Tuban Residents
Tuban, April 18, 2023 - The month of Ramadan, known as a month full of blessings for Muslims, is often used as a momentum to compete to give a helping hand to others. Coinciding with the month of Ramadan 1444 H or 2023, PRPP took advantage of this momentum to organize social activities by distributing 1,000 food packages to underprivileged communities in 6 (six) villages around the Tuban Grass Root Refinery (GRR) project area in Jenu District, Tuban Regency. The villages are Wadung, Sumurgeneng, Rawasan, Mentoso, Kaliuntu, and Beji.
This activity was carried out on Saturday (15/04/2023) and Sunday (16/04/2023) where the special distribution of food packages was carried out directly by the PRPP and GRR Tuban teams to residents' homes accompanied by local village officials.
"Alhamdulillah, PRPP is still given the opportunity to organize social activities like this, especially in the month of Ramadan, of course, this assistance is highly expected by people in need. It is hoped that this assistance from us will bring benefits to the recipients considering that our country is still struggling in economic recovery after the Covid-19 pandemic", explained Reizaldi Gustino, President Director of PRPP on a separate occasion on Tuesday (18/4/2023).
