That afternoon the weather was quite sunny, the mothers and children at Momong House were having fun doing activities around Momong House. This is because it was the weekend, Sunday (9/06/2024). The Dompet Dhuafa team together with Tokopedia had the opportunity to distribute School Kit and Al-Qur’an packages to 100 school-age children. This took place in Depok and Banten, Rumah Momong being one of the targets.
To the children and mothers who are active in Rumah Momong, Tokopedia distributed School Kit and Al-Qur’an packages. One of the Tokopedia team, Bianca, who was also present at the distribution moment, expressed her pleasure in meeting directly with the beneficiaries. She hopes that the collaboration between Dompet Dhuafa and Tokopedia can continue in the future.
‘I am very happy to be involved in the donation distribution process and meet directly with the beneficiaries. Hopefully in the future Tokopedia and Dompet Dhuafa can spread more benefits to others,’ said Bianca.
Dompet Dhuafa and Tokopedia continued the distribution to one of the children’s recitation groups run by Ustazah Dasmini – a resident of Cisaat Village in Serang Regency, Banten. Dompet Dhuafa’s Digital Partnership Team, Affrizal Haffidz Dafandi conveyed the situation of Ustazah Dasmini’s recitation group. According to him, the condition of the Al-Qur’an and Iqra’ is not feasible because it is often used alternately.
‘There (Ustazah Dasmini’s recitation group) is usually filled with children who recite the Quran. Unfortunately, the condition of the Al-Qur’an and Iqra’ are damaged because they are often used. Therefore, they need new ones,’ explained Affrizal.
The distribution was not only carried out in Banten. On a previous occasion, Dompet Dhuafa and Tokopedia had distributed School Kit and Al-Qur’an packages at the Al-Kamilah Foundation, Depok, West Java on Saturday (25/05/2024). (Dompet Dhuafa)
