JAKARTA — Support for Palestine continues to come and flow. On Thursday (14/11/2024), Dompet Dhuafa welcomed the gathering of Siti Khadijah, a Muslim fashion brand, who brought an invitation to care for humanity. This is not the first time that Siti Khadijah has met with Dompet Dhuafa in Philanthropy Building, South Jakarta, as it is the second time that Dompet Dhuafa has collaborated with Siti Khadijah in solidarity action for Palestine.
In the discussion, both parties discussed the details of the programme, campaign, and the technical distribution of donations. In the previous collaboration, Siti Khadijah channeled donations from the product sales programme, but this collaboration is more interesting. The fashion brand that has the slogan Outer Piece for Inner Peace will make special Palestinian-themed products, namely the Broderie Palestine (Kids Only) and Hijab Jannah series. Not only that, various other programme schemes will also be carried out to raise the voice of Palestine and invite wider public awareness.

Mohammad Muzammil Aminudin, Director of Siti Khadijah Nusantara, said that this initiative departs from the philosophy of the Siti Khadijah brand as a symbol of eternal love in order to care for the people. He also hoped to use the existing capacity to help our friends as frontliners in Palestine to continue to fight and to continue life in a time that needs support.
‘We remember, one year after the genocide that happened in Palestine, it is very massive. Siti Khadijah is moved to alleviate the struggle of the people there. And this is important for us to do, hopefully we can expand the invitation to share and provide even greater benefits. The campaign will be held in all Siti Khadijah’s offline and online stores,’ said Muzammil.
‘On 15 November 2024, Siti Khadijah will release two Palestine-themed products with Dompet Dhuafa, namely the ‘Broderie Palestine’ (Kids Only) and ‘Hijab Jannah’ series. Later, we will distribute the proceeds from the sales of these Muslim products to people in need through Dompet Dhuafa, which is credible and has a similar vision,’ he added.

In line with that, Utammi Sri Lestari as Dompet Dhuafa’s Partnership Manager, expressed her appreciation to Siti Khadijah for the support and good efforts given. She also explained Dompet Dhuafa’s openness and efforts to provide encouragement and hope for the State of Palestine.
‘Dompet Dhuafa’s appreciation for Siti Khadijah who is enthusiastically trying to bring strength to the Palestinians. Our doors are wide open for anyone to collaborate in goodness, and to this day Dompet Dhuafa is still trying to roll out aid, in the form of logistics and health services in Gaza. We hope that this genocide will end soon, and our collaboration with Siti Khadijah will be a blessing and a new spirit for them to continue to survive,’ said Utammi.
For information, just on Tuesday (12/11/2024), sad news broke out from the State of Palestine. A humanitarian volunteer, Dr Mohammed J M Shabat, passed away that day. The Dompet Dhuafa medical volunteer was martyred along with his family in an effort to carry out his humanitarian duties.
‘As we all know, there’s no sign of an end to the chaos. In fact, it is getting worse. The latest news is that a Dompet Dhuafa medical volunteer was martyred along with his family in Gaza. He was dedicated to Kamal Adwan Hospital in North Gaza and had studied in Indonesia, precisely at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences UIN Jakarta,’ he explained.
Previously, Dompet Dhuafa also conducted an inspiring collaboration to present an exclusive fashion collection made from Klaten Lurik that voiced support for Palestine and empowerment. With a shared spirit of supporting the work of the nation’s children and participating in humanitarian campaigns. (Dompet Dhuafa)
