PNPM is short for Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Masyarakat or National Program Empowering Society.
The General Work Department is required to build roads in every province of Indonesia, however, the budget is limited. So the PNPM has the task of bridging the gap between government, local business and communities, so that the villiages can expedite the construction of their needed roads.
Cibening village is fortunate because the local government, together with local businesses and the people are fixing the road. Some people donated money and the money was used to buy stone, cement and iron rod. GoldTeak employees donated their time off to work on the road.
The road is four kilometer long and is nearly finished. This provides a great opportunity for the villagers of Cibening, because it significantly reduces travel time. The middle and high school students have always had a long commute to arrive at school, the road has reduced this time significantly. In addition, deliveries of critical supplies that where previously left by the main road and transported via small motorcycle are now delivered directly to the village.
GoldTeak is very proud of its employees and their contribution to the construction of this road.
