ACTNews, MUARO JAMBI – In the previous years,
the students at the Barakatul Aulia Islamic Boarding School in Kebon Sembilan Village,
Sungai Gelam District, Jambi, had to take water from a nearby river that is
500 meters away from the school. This Ramadan, they can breathe a sigh of
relief because a new water well has just been constructed in the school
compound.
On Saturday
(3/26/2022), a waqf well in the Barakatul Aulia Islamic Boarding School area was
inaugurated. This water well endowment was donated by Yudha Nugraha Kurata, the
Chairman of Jambi Financial Services Authority (OJK).
“I thank the Global
Wakaf – ACT Jambi team for bridging charitable steps in a collaboration to help
the community. I wish that Global Wakaf – ACT’s kindness continues to expand,”
said Yudha.
The Barakatul
Aulia Islamic Boarding School is an educational institution established on a
land grant. Based on Global Wakaf – ACT’s assessments, this school is prone to a clean water crisis due to the lack of clean water sources. Previously, the
school relied on a river located near the school whose water is unfit for
drinking.
“Alhamdulillah,
this Ramadan, we will be able to enjoy the water from the Waqf Well not only
for consumption but also for wudu and sanitation needs,” said Mukhlisin, a
caretaker at the Barakatul Aulia Islamic Boarding School. []
