– Whenever it doesn't rain for several days, the Karya Insan Cita Islamic
Boarding School in Kampung Gedung, Hegarmanah Village, Warungkiara District,
Sukabumi, often experiences a water crisis. To meet daily water needs. they rely
on the Cimandiri River, which is approximately 1.5 kilometers from the school. There
is also a water spring located 300 meters away whose water is often channeled
to the school using a pump. Sadly, the water pump often breaks down.
Muchlis from the Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT)
Sukabumi Program Department said that the soil around the Karya Insan Cita
Islamic Boarding School is mostly dry soil. Hence, it’s often get parched during
the dry season.
"During the
dry season, the soil cannot store water, so it is vulnerable to drought,"
explained Muchlis.
To solve the water
crisis, Global Wakaf – ACT Greater Sukabumi built a Waqf Well and public
toilets at the Karya Insan Cita Islamic Boarding School. On Thursday, the water
well and toilets were inaugurated.
Ade, one of the
administrators of the Karya Insan Cita Islamic Boarding School hopes that the
Waqf Well will be used not only by the students but also by the local residents
who are also frequently hit by drought.
One of the
residents, Dudun, expressed his gratitude for the Waqf Well and public toilets.
He is very happy because now there is a new water source that can be used by
the community.
“On behalf of the
Islamic boarding school and the residents, I would like to thank you for
building the borehole water well in our area. This is what we really needed,”
he said.
