– Many people are still dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
that has not completely receded. Although activities have slowly resumed, the
economy is still hampered. Poverty caused by previous activity restrictions
leaves many families dealing with financial difficulties.
Due to this
condition, Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) and Muslimah Millionaire, a community of
British Propolis sellers, collaborated to present generosity to the community.
Using the Humanity Rice Truck, free rice was distributed to the beneficiaries
in Dago, Coblong District, Bandung, Thursday (11/4/2021).
ACT Bandung Branch
Manager, Wina Siti Maesaroh, stated that the Waqf Rice Distribution targeted
the poor, the elderly, people with disabilities, war veterans, and students.
This extensive scope of beneficiaries showed the tangible manifestation of
humanitarian collaboration that brings a positive impact on society.
“Today's distribution is aimed at various
segments of beneficiaries. We hope that the goodness that is resulted from this
collaboration can be truly beneficial to the community," said Wina.
The Waqf Rice
distributed to Dago residents was funded by the collective alms of the Muslimah
Millionaire members. Chika, a representative from Muslimah Millionaire, hoped
that this activity can continue especially in the midst of the pandemic where
people are still waiting for assistance amid the hampering economy.
"Hopefully
this activity can continue and expand to various parts of the country, as shown
though the Humanity Rice Truck tagline: 'Exploring the Country, Delivering Free
Rice'," said Chika.[]
