- Since 2019, dozens of Waqf Wells have been built in Bekasi by Global
Wakaf-ACT with the support of the endowers (waqifs)
to meet needs and solve water crises. Water is an essential need, but the
available water is sometimes not enough to meet the needs of every family.
One of the
locations in Bekasi where waqf wells have been built is in Sukatenang Village,
Sukawangi, Bekasi Regency. The Waqf Wells in this village was built to meet the
needs of families and to support public facilities like mosques and schools.
The benefits of the wells have been felt by many residents.
For this reason,
towards the end of March, Global Wakaf-ACT Bekasi invites waqifs and partners
to directly visit the construction sites of the Waqf Wells so that they will be
motivated to further support this project and expand its blessing.
"The Waqf
Well is the fruit of the management of waqf funds collected by Global Wakaf.
The role of Waqif also has a big
impact, especially in dealing with clean water problems, "explained Ihsan
Hafizhan from the ACT Bekasi Program Department, Saturday (3/27/2021).
Azwar, one of the waqifs who had the opportunity to visit a
Waqf Well in Bekasi, admitted that he was happy to see firsthand the benefits
of the well. Moreover, it was built in the right location where residents
really need water. "I invite the wider community to support this Waqf Well
program. This is because there are still many areas in Indonesia that have
trouble getting clean water," he said.
Global Wakaf also
equips the waqf wells that they build with sanitary facilities. The water is
used for various purposes. In Bekasi, the water wells are also used for
ablution, bathing, washing, and for consumption. In fact, in some areas where
the majority of the people are farmers, there are residents who use water from
the Waqf Well to water their crops. []
