REGENCY – For nine years, An-Nida’ Islamic boarding school in Krasak Village,
Selomerto District, Wonosobo Regency, has been running to teach both Islamic
and non-religious sciences. Currently, it has 520 students and 40 teaching
staff.
Located in the
mountains, the school had inadequate access to clean water, hampering the
learning and teaching activities. “There are water sources in the village, but
some of them are currently dry. The water from a functioning water source is
carried to the school’s kitchen through a pipeline. For showering, washing, and
toilet, the students use water from a nearby river,” said Hamas Rausyanfikr
from Global Wakaf – Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) Central Java, Friday (12/3/2021).
Consequently, during the dry season when the amount of water decreases, the students’ activities are hampered.

To facilitate the
school, Global Wakaf – ACT Central Java built a pipeline that carries the water
from the source which is located 1.6 kilometers away from the school.
"The water
source is in Binangun Hamlet in Gunung Tawang Village. The water is abundant
there. They need not worry if the water will decrease during the dry season,”
Hamas added.
The construction
of the pipeline and toilets for the students was finished in November 2021.
During the inauguration ceremony, K.H. Rahmad Salim, the principal of An-Nida’
Islamic boarding school appreciated Global Wakaf – ACT and the waqf donors who
have worked together to provide access to clean water.
“Before the
pipeline was built, the students were short of water because there are many of
them. Currently, Alhamdulillah, the construction has finished. We hope that
Global Wakaf - ACT will further develop to further provide extensive benefits
for the community,” he said. []
