Cargill is delivering on its commitment to enrich communities and help improve children’s health in Indonesia with a donation of 323,887,500 Rupiah ($22,500) to Ronald McDonald House Charities, an independent nonprofit organization sponsored by McDonald’s, one of Cargill’s global key customers. The donation will enable Yayasan Ronald McDonald House Charities Indonesia (RMHC Indonesia) to further develop programs that support families with seriously ill or injured children who are hospitalized and need accommodation nearby while their children receive treatment. The project supports construction of a Ronald McDonald House close to Sanglah General Hospital in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia.
