On April 28th and 29th, a key team set up a food distribution point for the 98 staff residing in the nearby Wijaya Kusuma Village and Ungasan Villages.
The pause on global travel has dramatically impacted Bali and its people. Which is why the Karma Group has launched a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) food initiative to support staff and their families during these challenging times.
Present during the food distribution set up were Esron Panjaitan, Regional Head of Human Resources, Sebastien Marteau (Karma Kandara General Manager), Lucky Christian (Legal Manager), with Head of Village Community, Wayan Disel Astawa, and Head of Ungasan Territory, Made Kari.
Says Made Kari, ‘As a result of covid-19 impact from all provinces in Indonesia, the most affected is Bali. This is primarily due to the fact that income is more than sixty percent depending on tourism.’ He says the community greatly appreciates the financial support by the Karma Group during this challenging time.
To date, food vouchers have also been distributed to 759 staff, alongside 225 sacks of rice to staff most vulnerable.
I’m really happy to hear you have set up food distribution points in Bali villages. They are such kind and beautiful people who always do there best to create the perfect holiday. I look forward to flying back in the not to distant future, fingers crossed.
Hi Diane, as a Group we feel it is important to support the staff who have all contributed to our ongoing success and we want to make sure they are available and ready to come back to work once it is safe to travel. In the meantime, we wish you all the very best and look forward to welcoming you back. Cheers #StaySafe
This is a wonderful initiative, as the people in Bali will be doing it really tough at the moment. Even though we will not be able to have our planned holiday there in 2020, we look forward to going back again once it is deemed safe to fly again.
Hi Maureen, thank you for your kind words – we see demand for future bookings rapidly increasing and would recommend that you start the process of planning your next holiday. Cheers #ExperienceKarma
