Ajinomoto in collaboration with Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) gave donations to environmental cleanliness heroes who live around Kalibaru, Cilincing, at North Jakarta. As a form of concern, Ajinomoto and ACT provide support in the form of healthy nutritious food menus for break fasting which were distributed to 1,100 scavengers and fishermen.
