Freeport Indonesia Employees Host Iftar and Support Orphaned and Underprivileged Children
Jakarta, 17 March 2026 – Employees of PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) hosted a joint iftar (breaking of the fast) for 700 orphaned and underprivileged children in Jakarta and Gresik, with the event joined virtually by employees at the operational areas of Kuala Kencana and Tembagapura, Mimika Regency, Central Papua.
“The presence of these orphaned and underprivileged children among us brings positive energy and a deep sense of gratitude for being able to give back to others. This is fully aligned with our company values, particularly the values of Respect and Commitment toward the communities and surroundings of PTFI — in Kuala Kencana, Tembagapura, Jakarta, and Gresik,” said PTFI President Director Tony Wenas in Jakarta, Thursday (3/12).
The 700 orphaned and underprivileged children in attendance came from various foundations. In Jakarta, 500 children from 11 foundations across Greater Jakarta took part, including the Papua Muslim Community. In Gresik, 200 children from foundations near the smelter area participated. In addition to the iftar, the event featured games, welfare packages, and gifts funded through donations from PTFI employees across the four work areas.
“We hope that the support we provide today can serve as motivation for our younger brothers and sisters to keep studying and to reach for their dreams as high as the sky,” said Tony.
