Corporate Social Responsibility at The Kedungu Fund
Street Light Project: Illuminating Kedungu
The streets of Kedungu are becoming safer and brighter thanks to the street lighting initiative supported by The Kedungu Fund. This project is driven by collaboration with the Kedungu Community Committee and includes 80 new street lights along the main road and key alleyways, a total cost of IDR 242 million for the first phase of installation, and enhanced safety and comfort for residents and visitors, particularly at night. This vital project started in late 2024 and represents a collaborative effort with the local Kedungu community. Additionally, The Kedungu Fund’s founder, Omri Ben-Canaan, has engaged expats and investors through creating the ‘Kedungu Lovers Community’ WhatsApp group, fostering wider support for this initiative and the many more in planning.
Clothing Donations: Spreading Warmth and Care
In Kedungu, we’ve proven that collective care can drive real change. Our team, together with families, friends, and the Kosong Satu Group, gathered and donated 201kg of clothing to support families in need. This initiative aimed to meet essential daily needs with clothing that provides comfort and warmth, and to strengthen community bonds by encouraging acts of giving. These donations highlight the meaningful impact of coming together to support local families in need.
Creating Green Spaces for the Future
Environmental stewardship is central to our vision for Kedungu’s development. That’s why a percentage of all land assets managed by The Kedungu Fund will be transformed into vibrant green spaces. These areas will feature native fauna and flora to enhance local biodiversity; serene, jungle-inspired environments for recreation and community use; and areas for families and children to gather and play. By prioritizing green spaces, we are not just protecting nature, we are creating a haven where people and the environment thrive together.
Grow in Kedungu: Building a Bright Future
Education is key to a strong, vibrant community. The Kedungu Fund is leading the build of a 1,500m2 international elementary school, a major project that will give local and international families a high-quality place to learn, open in August 2025, and boost local infrastructure, amenities, and the economy. The school reflects our belief that education is a foundation for long-term community growth.
Recycled Volcanic Ash Bricks: Sustainable Building Materials
We are building with bricks made from recycled volcanic fly ash from the coal industry. This cuts industrial waste, lowers the carbon footprint of building, and supports greener, more sustainable methods. It is part of our commitment to responsible development in Kedungu.
Water Harvesting & Filtration: Smarter Resource Management
Saving water is key to living sustainably, so The Kedungu Fund has put systems in place to make the most of it. Rainwater harvesting captures and stores rain so every drop is used well. A multi-layered pond system filters grey water for safe reuse. These steps show our commitment to smart water use that helps the local community and all of Bali.
Solar Panel Energy: Harnessing the Sun
To reduce reliance on conventional power sources and embrace renewable energy, we are exploring solar energy solutions. This initiative aims to minimize environmental impact, pave the way for a more sustainable energy future less reliant on coal, and showcase innovation in Kedungu’s development. Our commitment to solar energy reinforces our goal of fostering long-term, eco-friendly growth in the region.
