This affordable basic food bazaar provides an opportunity for residents to obtain essential needs at affordable prices during Ramadan. Additionally, during this event, a bazaar of fostered MSMEs was also conducted to assist local MSMEs around the Al Wathoniyah 43 Islamic Boarding School Foundation to improve the local economy.

The Head of the Al Wathoniyah 43 Foundation, KH. Lukmanul Hakim expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the program initiated by the Ministry of SOEs and Pertamina. He also expressed his hope that Pertamina's concern could continue and positively impact the foundation’s surrounding community.

According to Fajriyah, coinciding with this holy month of Ramadan, Pertamina has been entrusted by the Ministry of SOEs to implement the Safari Ramadan BUMN program in the North Jakarta, South Sumatra, and Riau regions. She hopes these affordable basic food packages will benefit the community and enhance the relationship between SOEs and the Rorotan community.

"With the spirit of togetherness, we share blessings with the residents around the Al Wathoniyah 43 Foundation. May the bonds of gathering among us continue to strengthen, and may we all always receive protection and blessings from Allah SWT. We also ask for prayers from the entire family of the Foundation so that Pertamina can carry out its operational activities smoothly and effectively and continue to provide the greatest benefits to communities across Indonesia," concluded Fajriyah.
