Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, in collaboration with PT Prudential Life Assurance, held the PRUVolunteers & MSMEs Bazaar in Gunung Putri Village, Gunung Putri Subdistrict, Bogor Regency on Saturday, June 29.
The event featured various activities, including coloring competitions for early childhood education (PAUD & TK), volunteering by PRUVolunteers who painted facilities at PAUD schools, Posyandu, waste banks, and an MSMEs bazaar. Additionally, a healthy exercise session attended by 200 participants added to the festivities.
The event also served as a platform for 50 MSME entrepreneurs to directly apply the knowledge gained from the entrepreneurship and vocational training they received through the Desa Maju Prudential (DMP) program in Bogor.
One of the bazaar participants, Mrs. Nani, shared her experience: “This is my first time participating in a bazaar. Alhamdulillah, the knowledge I gained during the training about finance and marketing was put into practice here.”

Mrs. Indrijati Rahayoe, Chief Human Resources & Community Investment Officer of Prudential Syariah, stated, “In line with Prudential’s objectives in this village, we aim to implement our initiative, Community Investment.” She added, “We believe that by investing in the community, we are helping to improve their economic living standards and supporting them to achieve a better and more prosperous life.”
The DMP Bogor program has significantly contributed to improving village residents’ well-being and quality of life. We hope this initiative continues and sets an example for similar efforts in the future, bringing sustainable positive changes to the community.
