REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG -- Rumah Waqaf in cooperation with Bandung City Social Services Department distributes 25 food packages to Social Welfare Services (PPKS) officials. It is an effort to strengthen contributions to poverty alleviation, involving the Waqf House as a philanthropic institution (nazhir) together with government agencies.
“Thanks to the Waqf House, we have received the prayer. We will distribute this food to PPKS. May the Waqf House become more successful,” said Yayah as Social Extension Madya Madya of Bandung City Social Services.
Sri Hastuti, a resident of Margacinta City Bandung, is one of the beneficiaries of PPKS built by Dinsos Bandung. Sri has had difficulty walking for four years because of a fall.
But Sri always tried not to give up, and made a living by sewing in the midst of his limitations. “For the people out there who are as fortunate as I am, don't give up. To the House of Waqf and Dinsos of Bandung City, thank you for the service. Sembako means a lot in alleviating my daily needs,” Sri said gratefully.
In addition, Rumah Waqf also distributes food packages for elderly dhuafa living in Montong Batu Village, Muncan Village, Kopang District, Central Lombok Regency, NTB. Bu Seriah and Bu Hurmawati are among the elderly who are the priority recipients of this food package, because they have administrative limitations and do not have a companion from their family in their daily lives.
“Masyaa Allah, I can't answer anything. Only prayers can I extend for Mr. and the Javanese (donors) who contribute for us,” Bu Seriah said when visited by the Waqf House Volunteers in Lombok.
“Throughout 2023, Alhamdulillah Rumah Waqf could provide food assistance benefits to at least 4,703 beneficiaries. This is an attempt by Rumah Waqf to fulfill the trust of the representatives and donors,” said Rendi Septiyan Nugraha as CEO of Rumah Waqf.
