– The COVID-19 cases in Indonesia have shown a downward trend in the third
year of the pandemic. However, various elements of society are still feeling
the severe impact of the pandemic on the economy. Many people who lost their jobs
are still unemployed, and many small businesses are struggling to revive after
being hit severely by the pandemic.
Sadly, the soaring
prices of basic needs have only made it more difficult for many families.
“Even under normal
conditions, many people find it difficult to buy basic needs. Now, people’s
purchasing power has not recovered fully from the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic,” said Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) President Ibnu Khajar, Monday (4/11/2022).
Responding to the
current conditions, ACT and the national zakat institution of Global Zakat
invite the Indonesian public to make this Ramadan a moment to serve those who
can’t afford food.
"In the moment of Ramadan, we invite everyone to pay the best zakat, infaq, and sadaqah to provide services and distribution of food aid for our brothers and sisters, both near and far, who are being tested with difficulties," said Ibnu.

This Ramadan,
Global Zakat launches payment services for those who want to pay their zakat
easily and conveniently through the Global Zakat web page. The collected zakat
funds will be distributed in the form of 5 kilograms of packaged rice to the
beneficiaries in various parts of the country through 88 ACT branch offices.
"People can
pay zakat, sadaqah, and even waqf through the nearest ACT branch offices, or through
various online channels such as the Indonesia Dermawan crowdfunding website,"
explained Ibnu. []
