The Regent of Tangerang Receives 2.000 Food and Beverage Packages for Waste Management Officers in Tangerang Regency

Thursday, 8th October 2020 – Since April 2020, Greeneration Foundation and Waste4Change have the initiative to do fundraising under the theme #DoNotForget #IndonesiaFightAgainstCorona in order to help waste officers and waste pickers in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, in various areas in Indonesia. At the end of the program, the total number of benefactors of the fundraising is 2.627 people.

This initiative obviously cannot be done alone. In fact, two large crowdfunding platforms in Indonesia, Kitabisa.com and BernihBaik, also participated in the fundraising, as well as other 96 collaborators from various waste communities and several media in Indonesia.

The existing support from influencers is what also made the crowdfunding draws many people’s attention and encourage them to donate in helping our waste front liners.

Waste officers and waste pickers can be said as our rear guard against the transmission of COVID-19. Let’s together educate and keep them and their families safe by being more careful in managing our waste and to use a standard safety equipment from the government. This can be done by providing Safety Equipment and also nutritious food that will help protect them from the transmission of COVID-19. In addition, we also need to segregate our waste, especially medical and infectious waste such as disposable masks and tissues to prevent it from being mixed with other types of waste.
