Panasonic Clean Village in Indonesia

Panasonic Indonesia Donated for a Second Time This Year,under its Clean Village Program, Five Clean Water Access Facilities to Several Districts in Tangerang, Indonesia Together with its Locally Developed GF-255HCX Water Pump

In 2010, the United Nations (UN) declared access to clean water and sanitation a human right but yet this basic right still remains an issue for many. Halving the numbers of people without access to clean water in Indonesia by 2015 was declared a Millennium Development Goal.To support this goal, on October 14, 2014, Panasonic Gobel Indonesia donated five clean water access facilities.

With a commitment to provide the best solution for the people of Indonesia in various regions, Panasonic has chosen Tangerang as a construction site of Clean Village. Located not far from Jakarta, some people in this area still rely on the river flowing to get water. The Clean Village Initiative is expected to provide a solution which provides easy access to clean water for the people in 3 Districts in Tangerang, as an aid for them to do their daily life activities as well as for developing the community's social life and the local economy.

The Clean Village program started in Karihkil village, Ciseeng District, Bogor in March 2014. Panasonic built a water tower at 5 public locations, such as mosques and Islamic boarding schools, as well as providing 340 energy-saving lamps for use in public areas. This initiative has proven to be beneficial for the community in fulfilling their daily needs, such as worship, washing, and cooking, especially when the drought season arrives.
