Campaign Story
With a population of 273 million people, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world and claims Southeast Asia’s largest economy. About 18 million Indonesians lack safe water and 20 million lack access to improved sanitation facilities. These numbers are just estimates and the reality on the ground is expected to be much worse.
The Environment and Forestry Ministry (KLHK) said 59 percent of rivers in Indonesia are still severely polluted. The sources of river water pollution include industrial waste, such as oil, gas, and mining, as well as domestic or household waste and livestock waste.This leads to even bigger issues, because the provision of safe water, sanitation and hygienic conditions are essential to battle the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic among many other diseases.
Penderma is a philanthropic organisation under Yayasan Aksi Indonesia Dermawan that focuses on sustainability. Looking at the immense need for access to clean water, Penderma has developed a filtration machine to provide clean drinking water for public consumption. The technology is built in-house by Penderma itself. The machine purifies water using filters, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet to produce water that is ready to drink. This filtration system can be implemented for any public area or building like masajid, orphanages etc.
– Cost of machine: IDR 35,000,000 (USD 2,432.69) – This includes installation costs as well.
– Weight and Size of machine: 50kg – 160x60x60
– Water Filtered: 1900 litres/day
– Penderma provides a guarantee and maintenance for 2 years
– ISO Certified
21 water filtration machines were installed across Indonesia in 2021 alone. This was mainly in remote masajid and madrasahs. The team aims to install more units in Islamic boarding schools and orphanages to make it easy for underprivileged communities.
For this campaign, the team will focus on the RA Nafilatul Husna Islamic Boarding School which is located in Salam Village, Garut Regency in Indonesia. It is home to over 12,800 residents of which 5,800 are children. This includes orphans, homeless and poor people living nearby.
Donations to this campaign will help meet the water needs of RA Nafilatul Husna and also the community around the school. The filtration machine is able to filter raw water up to 1900 litres per day.
Sa’ad ibn Ubadah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “A drink of water.”
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden from the burdens of the world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens on the Day of Judgement. [Timirdhi]
