UOB Indonesia equips underprivileged children with educational experience and learning kits for their future during Ramadan

Jakarta, 18 April 2023 – UOB Indonesia collaborated with Aisyiyah Orphanage to equip underprivileged children with educational experience during the holy month of Ramadan. Through the programme, UOB Indonesia provides children with daily staples and learning kits to help them with their longer term development.

The bank recognised the importance of education and believes that every child should have access to quality education regardless of their background. UOB Indonesia colleagues joined the programme and engaged with the children in various activities such as storytelling, dancing and assembling the donated drawers.

Hendra Gunawan, President Director, UOB Indonesia, said, “At UOB Indonesia, we believe the importance of nurturing the growth of children and their continuous development. As a part of our commitment to giving back to the community, we are pleased to have the opportunity to support the country’s future generation and make a difference in their lives.”

In addition to the Bank’s contribution to the community, UOB Indonesia demonstrates its commitment to care for its people. During Ramadan, the Bank facilitates homecoming bus trips to 23 cities across Java. More than 200 colleagues benefit the programme to return to their home towns for the Idul Fitri festivities.

UOB Indonesia colleagues engaged with Aisyiyah Orphanage children to equip them with life skills they need for their longer term development.

Hendra Gunawan, President Director, UOB Indonesia, and Maya Rizano, Head of Strategic Communications and Brand, UOB Indonesia with Aisyiah Orphanage Children, were reading and telling stories together to promote financial literacy skills.
