Reportedly, the Boeing Company (BA) announced a $500k donation from the Boeing Charitable Trust to CARE to support COVID-19 relief efforts in Indonesia, helping communities currently battling the highly contagious COVID-19 delta variant. Slightly more than 11% of the Indonesian population has been fully vaccinated against the virus.

CARE is currently working and assisting efforts that include converting health centers into treatment facilities and isolation centers; providing nutritional support for vulnerable children under the age of 5, and supporting communities with water and sanitation facilities. The trust is also ensuring the fair and equitable distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine in the region.

“Boeing stands by the people of Indonesia as the highly contagious COVID-19 delta variant continues to spread across the country, leaving families and communities in desperate need of assistance,”, “We are in this fight against COVID-19 together, and Boeing is committed to helping communities respond to this most recent surge in cases. This donation will help save lives and support those impacted the most.” stated Sir Michael Arthur, president of Boeing International.

The company will match dollar-for-dollar monetary donations made by Boeing employees to charitable organizations supporting COVID-19 relief efforts in Indonesia, as a part of the Boeing Gift Match program. Boeing’s presence in Indonesia lasts for more than 70 years. Over the past decade, Boeing has devoted more than $2.8 million to charitable giving in the country.
