The handover of zakat was symbolically carried out by Mr. Jefri as HR Strategic & Business Partner General Manager of FajarPaper to the residents accompanied by The Head of Kalijaya Community Affairs (KAUR KESRA).

Approaching Eid al-Fitr, many prices of foodstuffs have risen, making it difficult for residents to fulfill their daily needs. Therefore, FajarPaper consistently provides assistance through the company’s CSR program that has been running for a long time. This year, FajarPaper again collaborated with the Kalijaya Village government in distributing the zakat donation.

Endin Syafiuddin as the Head of Community Affairs (KAUR KESRA) representing the Head of Kalijaya Village who could not attend said, ” From the Village Government of Kalijaya, we would like to thank FajarPaper both for the entire board of directors and employees. This is proof of the consistency of FajarPaper to help the residents of Kalijaya Village and this activity has become routine from year to year. This year in this Holy Month of Ramadhan 1444 H the distribution of zakat donation was re-held in Kalijaya Village. Hopefully FajarPaper will be more successful, victorious and more prosperous for all its employees.”

UU Dhia Uddin as the Harjamekar Village community figure representing RT 09 in Tanah Baru Village said, “I represent DKM Istiqomah Mosque and also RT 09 RW 04 in Tanah Baru, Harjamekar would like to thank FajarPaper for the zakat donation this year. The donation we received was enough to fulfill the needs of the residents, where our residents are adjacent to FajarPaper. Hopefully in the future this kind of program will continue to exist and if possible be increased again in terms of quantity.”

Wasid Jayadi as the Head of RT 003 RW 011 in Telaga Murni Village said, “Thank you to PT Fajar Surya Wisesa Tbk. For providing zakat donation to our residents. Hopefully FajarPaper will be more successful, growing and always giving positive things to the community around the company.”
