MyRepublic Indonesia Supports Education Recovery with Free Internet Services

Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative

MyRepublic Indonesia has launched a comprehensive CSR initiative to support the recovery of education in flood-affected areas of Medan, North Sumatra. The company is providing free high-speed internet connectivity at 500 Mbps for one year to SMA Swasta Dharmawangsa Medan, one of the main recipients of this support. This initiative aims to ensure reliable digital access for students and educators as they resume their daily academic activities following the recent flood disaster.

Multi-Faceted Support Program

The support extends beyond educational institutions. MyRepublic Indonesia is also waiving internet charges for all customers affected by the floods in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. This measure demonstrates the company's commitment to alleviating the burden on affected communities during this crisis. In addition to digital infrastructure support, MyRepublic Indonesia has partnered with Save the Children to provide essential humanitarian aid, including blankets, food, and drinking water to families affected by the floods and landslides.

Collaborative Efforts

The initiative also involved collaboration with strategic partners, including Fiberhome and Pristine, to distribute aid packages to the academic community at SMA Swasta Dharmawangsa. These packages included school supplies, cooking oil, and drinking water, showcasing a cross-sector collaborative response to the disaster. The event was further strengthened by a digital literacy session conducted jointly with the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi), focusing on safe, smart, and productive internet usage for students and educators.

Official Recognition and Commitment

The program was attended by key officials, including Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid, North Sumatra Deputy Governor H. Surya, B.Sc., and MyRepublic Indonesia CEO Timotius Max Sulaiman. During the event, selected students and teachers were symbolically appointed as 'Roketin Generasi Tunas Digital' ambassadors, emphasizing the importance of digital education. MyRepublic Indonesia's CEO highlighted the company's belief in creating an inclusive and sustainable digital ecosystem through such initiatives, positioning themselves not just as a service provider but as a community partner in recovery efforts.
