“This assistance is a form of concern and support from the companies for communities in Papua. Once the delivery process is completed, we will distribute the assistance to people in need so that its benefits can be felt directly,” said Bambang.
He said everyday necessities such as sandals can provide practical benefits, particularly for people who need basic equipment to support their daily activities.

He said community support can take many forms, depending on needs on the ground. The assistance is expected to help ease people’s daily needs while demonstrating that concern for Papua is a shared responsibility.
“The most important thing about this assistance is its benefit to the community. We hope the assistance will truly reach those who need it and can be used to support their daily activities. This kind of synergy also shows that concern for communities can be built together by the government, security personnel, the business sector, and various elements of society,” he added.
The assistance will subsequently be transported to Timika. The Task Force Assistance Unit of Task Force Operation Peace Cartenz 2026 will support the distribution process to ensure the sandals reach communities in need.
