Interestingly, holding a concert by Kreasi Nia Ramadhani spends billions of rupiah to create a videotron in Jakarta. Responding to this matter, the mother of three children spoke up.

"So, it's not about discussing the budget of this event. The goal is to attract young people and make it interesting. It's not about money, all services and everything we have to present something cool. Now, in this Kreasi event, it is a virtual music donation event and there will be video mapping that I have been thinking about from Jennifer Lopez. I want to make it different," said Nia Ramadhani at XXI Epicentrum, South Jakarta, on Friday (24/7/2020).

"I saw Jennifer Lopez Feel The Love. Yes, make it interesting so that the message reaches everyone. So that people see this as cool and their hearts are moved to change their minds, so the foundation's children don't look tacky," Nia continued.

2. Nia Ramadhani's Dream

Building the KITA Foundation was Nia Ramadhani's dream that finally came true. Coincidentally, this idea was immediately responded well by six of her friends who had the same dream.

"The beginning was when we had a virtual conversation during home quarantine, I mentioned that I personally have had a dream foundation for a long time. I don't know why, but I wanted to share it with my friends. It turns out they also have the same dream,"

Nia Ramadhani said that building the KITA Foundation took quite a long time. However, because of her good intentions, Nia Ramadhani was eventually supported by many people, including her husband, Ardie Baktrie. Her husband fully supported what Nia Ramadhani had been doing for the greater good.

"Alhamdulillah (supported) a lot. His support is very significant in my opinion. Preparing for this took time. I am very excited about this. He (Ardie Bakrie) understands and allows and supports this. When I left for the press conference, he said, 'I'm proud of you.' When I left the house, he looked happy. He can support," Nia Ramadhani concluded.
