What We Do
In 1990, Tomy Winata as the Chairman of AG Network and also founder of AG Peduli started the first social activity as reflection of his concern to the condition of marginal society at that time. Few preliminaries social activities such as “Beras Jumat” (Friday Rice – to donate free rice on every Friday for the needy), disaster response action and forest conservation – were done on regular basis.
Along with the development of AG Network business sectors, AG Peduli later continues these social activities. On doing this, we focus on 5 main pillars that includes social care community (food sustainability, education, healthcare and other humanity acts), disaster response action, environmental conservation act to face of global climate change, society empowerment to develop small and medium enterprises, as well as providing legal services for underprivileged people.
AG Peduli credentials on disaster response activities were done in various places in Indonesia including tsunami in Aceh, volcano eruption in Yogyakarta, earthquake in Padang, volcano eruption in Rokatenda Mountain, landslide in Jember, flash flood in Jakarta, as well as cataclysms such as fire and others. In international scene, AG Peduli has participated on giving disaster reliefs to earthquake victims in Chengdu (China), medical support to Palestine, and donation for earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan.
Since 1997, AG Peduli has also working to develop the forest conservation to face the rapid changing of global climate through conserving Sumatrans tiger and the forest regularly. The result is Tambling Wildlife Nature Conservation (TWNC) – 45,000 hectares national park located in the South end of Sumatra Island. TWNC also has + 14,089 hectares of marine sanctuaries that consist the diversity of its flora, fauna and marine biota. Subsequently, TWNC has successfully release five Sumatrans tigers in this forest conservation, with some other endangered species such as crocodiles and turtles.
Aside from its existence as forest conservation, TWNC also play its role as rehabilitation destination for drug users. Together with Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN) (National Narcotics Agency), TWNC created a back-to-nature rehabilitation program to motivate the former drug users to build back their lives and skills through basic training in working in the field of conservation and ecotourism.
