Uniting hearts and uplifting communities through a meaningful iftar gathering

Ramadan is a time of blessings, generosity, and strengthened togetherness. In the spirit of compassion and solidarity, Archipelago hosted an iftar gathering on March 26, 2025, at Munik Resto, uniting families from the Kampung Gasong Preservation community. This initiative reflects Archipelago’s commitment to spreading joy and providing meaningful support to those in need.

Kampung Gasong, also known as "Gashonk," is a residential area in Jakarta where many residents make a living by collecting and selling used items such as bottles and wood. To support this community, Archipelago organized the iftar gathering, aiming to bring warmth and kindness to its residents.

A total of 29 families from the Kampung Gasong Preservation group attended the event, embracing the festive Ramadan atmosphere. Beyond enjoying a delicious meal, guests participated in various activities, including a short religious sermon (kultum), children’s games, and the distribution of essential food packages containing rice, powdered milk, cooking oil, and other necessities. Each family also received a special gift package as a token of care and support.

The gathering was attended not only by Kampung Gasong residents but also by media representatives, the Archipelago corporate team, and community mentors. The presence of these groups fostered a sense of unity, strengthening the connection between the community and the company.

John Flood, CEO of Archipelago, emphasized that Ramadan is a time for reflection and togetherness. “At Archipelago, we strive to create more than just business success; we are committed to strengthening relationships within the community. I sincerely thank our team for their dedication in organizing this initiative. This event is a true reflection of our commitment to supporting and caring for society. We hope our efforts bring a positive impact to the families in Kampung Gasong and blessings to everyone involved,” he stated.

Through this initiative, Archipelago demonstrates its commitment to social responsibility and community support. By fostering unity and generosity, the company aims to make a meaningful impact, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. This initiative not only serves as an act of giving but also reaffirms Archipelago’s dedication to creating a more compassionate and connected society.
