WEST BANGKA -- The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province collaborated with PT Timah Tbk's Amoi Village in Tanjung Village, Muntok District, West Bangka Regency to foster former drug addicts so they can be productive without drugs.
This coaching program is part of rehabilitation for former drug addicts. BNN in collaboration with Kampung Amoi, PT Timah Tbk, and Community-Based Intervention (IBM) held training on Livestock Livestock and Catfish Feed Making which was held at the Kampung Amoi Catfish Nursery, Monday (5/11/2022).
Kampung Amoi is one of the social innovation programs carried out by Members of the Indonesian MIND ID Mining Holding. Kampung Amoi has the acronym Agro Mandiri and Integrated.
The social innovation of Amoi Village is an effort by TINS-coded issuers to improve the welfare and independence of the community around the mine.
