To strengthen ties and foster harmony within its operational areas, PT Nusa Halmahera Minerals (NHM), through the NHM Peduli Foundation, organized a series of Iftar gatherings across mosques and prayer halls in villages surrounding the mine. Held from February 23 to March 14, 2026, the program reached 39 villages spanning five sub-districts.

Each gathering was attended by the NHM Peduli team, village officials, mosque administrators, Majelis Ta’lim groups, and hundreds of local residents. A spirit of solemnity and warmth marked every event, with a variety of iftar snacks and main courses served following Maghrib prayer.
