SEMARANG \u2014 A prolonged dry season in parts of Central Java has made\nit difficult for residents to obtain clean water for their daily needs.\nIn response, Dompet Dhuafa Central Java, through its Water for Life\nprogramme, has distributed clean-water aid to people affected by drought\nin Jepara and Grobogan regencies.<\/p>\n
A total of 42,000 litres of clean water has been delivered to 426\nhouseholds across the two areas. The assistance is intended to help\nresidents meet their needs as water sources become limited during the\ndry season.<\/p>\n
The first distribution took place in Karangaji village, Kedung\ndistrict, Jepara regency, where 170 households received 24,000 litres of\nclean water. Residents have been experiencing drought since August 2026,\nwith conditions worsening from September to October.<\/p>\n
Before the aid arrived, residents had to fetch water from\nneighbouring villages for their daily needs. The village water supply\nhad also stopped flowing during the dry season.<\/p>\n
Residents, who have long faced limited access to clean water,\nwelcomed the assistance with gratitude. They hope similar support will\ncontinue until rain returns and water sources begin to recover.<\/p>\n
Residents of Monggot village, Geyer district, Grobogan regency, have\nfaced similar conditions. Drought began there in July 2026 and became\nmore severe at the peak of the dry season in September.<\/p>\n
Before receiving assistance, residents relied on the remaining river\nwater, digging small holes to obtain it.<\/p>\n
In the area, Dompet Dhuafa Central Java distributed 18,000 litres of\nclean water to help meet the needs of 256 households. The assistance is\nexpected to ease the burden on residents and help them meet basic needs\nduring the dry season.<\/p>\n
Zaini Tafrikhan, head of Dompet Dhuafa Central Java\u2019s branch, said\nthe organisation would continue to support people affected by drought,\nparticularly through clean-water assistance.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor some of us, water may be easy to obtain. But for our brothers\nand sisters affected by drought, getting clean water is a daily\nstruggle. Through the Water for Life programme, we want to continue\nsupporting communities in affected areas. We encourage the public to\njoin in giving, because even a drop of our concern can bring hope to\nthose in need,\u201d Zaini said.<\/p>\n
Through its Water for Life programme, Dompet Dhuafa Central Java\ncontinues working to provide access to clean water for communities\nfacing water shortages, particularly in drought-affected areas.<\/p>\n
Water is not merely a daily necessity; it supports health, hygiene\nand family life.<\/p>\n
However, access to clean water during the dry season remains a\nchallenge in several areas. Public support and concern are therefore\nneeded to help the assistance reach more people facing similar\ndifficulties.<\/p>\n
Dompet Dhuafa Central Java is inviting the public to support the\nWater for Life programme. Donations made through Dompet Dhuafa Central\nJava are expected to help provide clean water to communities in\nneed.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dompet-dhuafa-central-java-delivers-clean-water-to-residents-affected-by-drought-1791978652", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
