AkzoNobel Helps Link Two Indonesian Villages for Better Quality of Life
AMSTERDAM - After years of living a secluded life, people in Mekarjaya Village and Sukaresmi Village in the District of Panimbang, Banten Province, Indonesia will now have a much easier access in their villages. Through a collaboration between AkzoNobel, BMT Group and Yayasan Relawan Kampung, the Bridge of Hope has been built to connect the people of the two villages and enable safer crossing of the Ciliman River.
Nitin Mathew, Country Manager, AkzoNobel's Marine Coatings business, Indonesia, said, "AkzoNobel is proud to honor its commitment to help create more Human Cities around the world. I strongly believe that the collaborative efforts between AkzoNobel and BMT will improve lives and make a difference to the residents of the two villages. We are glad to play our part in transforming lives of these residents with a tangible and lasting impact using our three key strengths - essential ingredients, essential protection and essential color."
