Indonesia Covid-19 Community Fundraising
In spite of the necessity to self-isolate during the Covid-19 crisis, millions of Indonesians can’t afford to stay at home given their jobs and financial obligations. Our front-line medical personnel are under-equipped, while millions of low-income families and other financially vulnerable groups of people must bear the consequences of having their livelihood cut off.
Let's show our solidarity by helping our brothers and sisters during this great crisis. Through Permai BC and our charity partners, your donation will be used to purchase medical equipment and other essential products for our brave medical personnel, volunteers and other at-risk individuals who are affected by the Covid-19 crisis.
No matter where we are, we all can make a difference.
Permai BC & Local Indonesian Communities in Canada
Permai BC are partnering with local Indonesian communities not just in British Columbia but the other provinces in Canada to collaborate as one community for this initiative.
A global threat such as Covid-19 requires a global community collaboration.
We understand and respect that each and every one of us has our own personal preference in making donations and selecting charities. That is why we have selected a few options for you to pick from and hopefully we can all contribute to this campaign and help Indonesia fight the spread of COVID-19.
