SOUTH BANGKA - Asnawati (40) cried uncontrollably when she received housing construction assistance from PT Timah Tbk, Monday (21/3/2022). Residents of Tepus Village, Air Gegas Sub-district, South Bangka Regency do not have a house after the fire that hit their residence some time ago.
There was nothing that could be saved from the incident, only the clothes he was wearing. As a result of this incident, Asnawati and her two children were forced to flee to her parents' house.
"We have been staying at my parents' house for almost three months. After that incident, I didn't have the money to build another house, everything was consumed by fire," said Asnawati when receiving the aid.
It was like a nightmare for him. He, who was outside the house at that time, received news from his relatives that his house had been engulfed in flames.
"It happened around 4 p.m. At the time of the incident, I was at a relative's house and my children were out playing. I also don't know where the fire came from. Because as I recall, when I left the house it was safe, there was no cooking or other activities," said Asnawati.
In the midst of this economic crash, it is difficult for Asnawati to rebuild her house. Working as a rubber tapper can only meet daily needs.
He is grateful that PT Timah Tbk helped him to rebuild his house. With the help she got, Asnawatu will build a house with a house size of 7 x 7 meters.
"Alhamdullilah, with this assistance from PT Timah, hopefully before Eid, she wants to live in a new house. I'm not grandiose, the important thing is that I stay at my own home," she said.*
