On January 29, 2024, PT Bank JTrust Indonesia Tbk (J Trust Bank) in collaboration with Yayasan Balarenik launched the Social Entrepreneurship Program through Hydroponic Vegetable and Fruit Cultivation.
The collaboration aims to provide a learning platform for marginalized communities to enhance their basic needs and skills by building a hydroponic greenhouse, providing equipment, and training them to become hydroponic farmers.
Hydroponic farming is one of the current business trends, especially in urban areas with limited land or known as urban farming. Therefore, J Trust Bank believes that the potential and market share of hydroponic vegetables and fruits will continue to grow and flourish.
Through this collaboration, Yayasan Balarenik also formed and supported the Kelompok Tani Rumah Hijau Balarenik/Greenhouse Farming Group (Poktan RHB). In its debut activity, Poktan RHB grew mustard greens and melons that are estimated to be harvested in a few weeks.
On this occasion, J Trust Bank also held financial education for 15 participants with the topic of learning to know consumer rights and obligations, getting to know banking products, and manage family finances.
By actively participating in this collaboration program, J Trust Bank plays a significant role in creating a healthy, empowered, and prosperous community.
Yayasan Balarenik is a Community-Based Organization (CBO) established on December 18, 2000, by three social workers to provide social services to the community in various situations and issues.
