JAKARTA — Social Activist and Hijabers Community, Aliah Sayuti visited one of Dompet Dhuafa’s Donation Service Outlets at Pondok Indal Mall (PIM) shopping centre, South Jakarta on Sunday (24/3/2024). The reason was because she wanted to carry out her intention to make donations and zakat fitrah through Dompet Dhuafa.
‘Bismillah, I want to give to the orphan programme and also pay zakat through Dompet Dhuafa here (Donation Service Outlet). Inshallah, I really trust Dompet Dhuafa. Therefore, I also pay zakat fitrah for my family too, there are six people,’ said Aliah conveying her intention to the Dompet Dhuafa Fundraising Team at the PIM Donation Service Counter that afternoon.
With a friendly smile, the Fundraising Team at the Dompet Dhuafa Donation Service Outlet on duty, namely Fuzi, Luqfi, and Rini immediately helped and served Aliah Sayuti to provide information about Dompet Dhuafa’s programmes, accompany her to donate, and also pray for goodness for Aliah Sayuti.
