Corporate Social Responsibility

Following the devastating 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Central Sulawesi in September 2018, Chubb Charitable Foundation donated almost IDR750 million (USD51,000) to rebuild MTS Alhairat junior high school in Pandere village of Sigi regency, one of the areas hardest hit by the temblor.

A ground-breaking ceremony was held on March 12^th, 2019, to mark the beginning of the construction project. A representative from Chubb Insurance in Indonesia visited the site to meet with students, members of the school board and teachers, the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO): Aksi Cepat Tanggap, the village’s religious leader, and local representatives from the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

“Thank you for giving us hope and for letting us know that we are not in this plight alone,” a representative from the school board said during the event, with joyful tears in his eyes.

The donation will be used to rebuild the school’s three classrooms that were severely damaged by the catastrophe, providing a safe environment for 76 students to continue their studies. The new building is expected to be completed in three months, in time for the 2019-2020 academic year.

The earthquake caused a tsunami that travelled hundreds of meters inland in places and devastated the waterfront of the large city of Palu. Away from the coast, it also resulted in liquefaction, a rare seismic process in which violent shaking can give layers of sediment the property of fluids. The phenomenon moved homes up to several kilometers and buried entire neighborhoods. More than 2,000 people perished in the disasters, and more than 100,000 survivors were displaced, fearful of returning to damaged homes. Thousands of schools were damaged or destroyed, interrupting the education of students across the region.
