– Mundiroh, an honorary teacher at an elementary school in Soklat Village
of Subang District, Subang Regency, lives in financial difficulty. The mother
of four has been working as an honorary teacher for 16 years.
When she first
became an honorary teacher, she was assigned to a school in the neighboring
district that is 44 kilometers away from her house.
"It took 1.5
hours to get there by motorbike," said Mundiroh when the Global Zakat –
ACT Subang visited her to give her financial assistance.
In 2020, Mundiroh
had an accident that forced her to stop teaching. She only started teaching
again in 2021.
To make an
additional income, Mundiroh also sells several items such as shoes and honey
online and to her neighbors. “My husband does the delivery. My husband used to
sell salted fish at the market," she said.
Sarah Yusra from
the Global Zakat - ACT Subang program department said Mundiroh is also actively
involved in helping the sick and orphans. She is also an active member of a
local Islamic study circle. “Her life is full of dedication in spite of her own
difficulties," he concluded.
