Members of ABADI, Indonesia’s national federation for the private employment services sector, were eager to contribute to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic and to support the government in its efforts to consolidate the healthcare equipment for its regional hospitals.
ABADI’s secretariat organized a fund-raising drive during two weeks, with daily reminders to its members and thank you notes sent for each new donation. ABADI members agreed on 3 regional hospitals and one non-profit emergency service organization to be selected as the recipients for the donation.
