How EBC Financial Group’s Ramadan Project Went Beyond Financial Help

Ramadan is often a time for reflection, unity, and community support. But for EBC Financial Group, this year’s observance went beyond the traditional giving. Stepping away from the world of financial numbers and market predictions, we took our commitment to a deeper level, embracing the true spirit of Ramadan through tangible acts of compassion. The journey took us to Berdikari Elderly Cottage, a small yet essential elderly care home in Tangerang, Banten, where 29 elderly residents are cared for by a dedicated team of 10 staff members. Despite their efforts, the care home faces significant challenges, from aging facilities to limited resources. This was the moment we knew we could make an impact that wasn’t measured in monetary terms. A Home That Needs More Than Just Money Berdikari’s residents have given so much to society over the years, and now it was time for the community to return the favour. The care home, although full of love and care, lacked critical support. The residents faced not just physical challenges but emotional isolation. Our goal was clear: bring lasting change with both physical and emotional support, beyond just a cheque. Hands-On Assistance: Making a Real Difference We didn’t settle for simple donations or one-off gestures. We rolled up our sleeves and tackled immediate concerns head-on. The state of the bathrooms stood out as a significant issue. After spending time understanding the needs, we got to work, repairing the worn-down facilities, ensuring they were safe and accessible for elderly residents. Though seemingly a minor improvement, such a change had a profound impact. For the elderly, these upgrades meant more than just convenience; they represented dignity, respect, and a more comfortable daily life. But we didn’t stop there. We knew that meeting the elderly’s practical needs was just one part of the equation. So, we provided carefully curated grocery packages tailored to the residents’ nutritional requirements. These supplies weren’t just a short-term fix; they ensured that the residents would continue to receive proper nourishment for months to come. More Than Just Help: Creating Emotional Connections While material assistance was crucial, the day’s impact wasn’t solely about physical support. We also recognised the power of emotional well-being. We arranged a group colouring session — a simple yet deeply meaningful activity. As the residents picked up pencils and let their creativity flow, smiles emerged, laughter echoed, and connections were made. It was a reminder that happiness often resides in the simplest moments. Sharing in this joyous atmosphere, we also participated in a communal iftar meal with the residents. This wasn’t just about breaking fast together; it was about building a community, transcending visitor-guest roles and becoming part of something far greater: a shared spirit of unity, empathy, and solidarity. Voices of Gratitude: The Impact Beyond the Day The day’s efforts left a lasting impression, especially on those directly impacted by the initiative. Mr. Soleh, a caregiver at Berdikari, shared his gratitude: “The assistance we received from EBC Financial Group has made a huge difference in our daily operations. It allows us to provide better care to our elderly residents, and most importantly, it reminds us that they are valued and cared for by the wider community.” For our team, it was a day that was less about numbers and more about the human connection. Febrian Saputra, the company’s Business Development Manager who played a key role in the initiative, summed it up perfectly: “This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to make a real difference in the communities we serve. The smiles, the stories, and the shared moments with the residents reminded us that true impact comes not just from financial help, but from sincere human connections.” Building a Legacy of Long-Term Impact This Ramadan initiative was just one chapter in EBC Financial Group’s broader mission to foster resilience in underserved communities across Indonesia. Last year, during Ramadan, we renovated mosque facilities and provided aid to 75 orphaned children in Banten. These actions represent more than just charity; they are part of a sustained effort to create meaningful, long-lasting impact through deep, purposeful engagement. Looking ahead, we plan to expand our community-focused initiatives with projects centred on education, sustainability, and empowerment. This includes scholarships for underprivileged children, financial literacy programmes, and environmentally focused initiatives that benefit both people and the planet. A Commitment to Indonesia’s Future While EBC Financial Group’s financial expertise remains its core strength, we also celebrated an important milestone this Ramadan — the official registration of our trademark in Indonesia. This is not just a business achievement; it represents a deeper commitment to the country’s future. We are here not just to make profits but to be an integral part of Indonesia’s growth and development, contributing meaningfully to its economy and society. The Real Value: People In the end, what truly matters is people. Whether discussing financial strategies or community outreach, the fundamental lesson is the same: people matter most. Our visit to Berdikari was a reminder that while numbers may drive markets, it’s kindness, care, and shared experiences that build stronger, more resilient communities. The lasting impact of this Ramadan initiative is not just in the help provided but in the connections forged — a legacy that will continue long after the event itself. EBC Financial Group’s work this Ramadan is just one example of what’s possible when finance meets compassion. As we move forward, we carry the spirit of this initiative with us, knowing that true success is measured not by profits, but by the lives we touch.
