Behind
every great man, there is a great woman. Together with his wife, Tinah Bingei,
one of Indonesia tycoons, Sukanto Tanoto built his empire of business with
great philosophy of life. We can say, he is a philanthropist, since his goal of
success is not merely in the business sector, but social, educational, and environmental
sectors as well. One good thing about him is that he does not exaggerate his
philanthropy; in fact, the mainstream media seem to be cool and calm and
they do not publish the social activity performed by
this RGE’s boss.
Tanoto Foundation’s Commitment to Minimize Poverty
More
than half of Indonesian people are included in the middle to lower class group,
in which they need great support to achieve a decent life. Sukanto Tanoto
believes that giving and sharing his ability and privilege make
himself a part in helping to
improve the welfare of humankind. He,
himself believes that it takes three things to achieve success in business;
financial, social, and human resources. Not many people know that the essence
of building stable and long-lasting business is also done by sharing. It is not
always clear why, but sharing can somehow attract fortune, and strengthen your inner
soul.
With
his wife, Tinah Bingei, the foundation is built to create social media in order
to fight poverty, based on the strong
desire of the founders to do something good to the
society, making every charitable activities conducted something fun, where they
don’t hope anything in return but purely to help others. However, it does
not necessarily mean that the foundation is just giving away money to those who
need, instead of being focused in three different sectors; education, community empowerment, and
life quality improvement.
Tanoto Foundation’s Commitment for Education
In
educational sector, for example, the foundation commits to make sure that quality
education is given to the students by giving training for the teachers. Not
only that, scholarship is also provided for students who are unable to continue
their studies. Students will be ensured
to pursue their dream, as they won’t lose hope to keep fighting with the help
of Tanoto Foundation. You will find that behind every philanthropic action,
there is great philosophy that makes everything more meaningful.
Recently,
Tanoto Foundation emphasized the importance of education by encouraging
Indonesian students to work harder in their study and providing chances of
internship, job opportunities, and many more. Sukanto Tanoto also builds
facilities in order to improve quality of life such as books supply, school
building, small-scale business training, and many more.
