According to 2021's data on education level, only 9.47% of the population in Nusa Tenggara Timur have completed their senior high school level. This percentage is categorised as low as compared to other provinces in Indonesia.
For our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) this year, Behn Meyer Indonesia shares a little joy with children in Tuapanaf, Kupang. Tuapanaf Village, located in Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur, has an area of 5.434,76 km2 and is resided by 402,320 villagers.
Behn Meyer Indonesia distributed 80 education tool packages for children who have just begun their new school year. The packages consist of notebooks, pens, rulers, pencils, erasers, and new bags. Besides that, employees in Head Office BSD and Branch Office Sidoarjo had also donated pre-owned clothes, shoes, toys, and children's books to the villagers in Tuapanaf.
The donation arrived in Tuapanaf on 15 September, 2022. We hope that our little gifts for children in Tuapanaf can motivate them to do well in their education.
