Badung District Government Provides Rp2 Million Per Household for Muslim Community to Celebrate Eid al-Fitr

Badung, Bali — The Badung District Government (Pemkab) in Bali has provided social welfare assistance totalling Rp2 million per household (KK) for the Muslim community ahead of Eid al-Fitr celebrations.

“This assistance represents our commitment to ease the burden on the community, particularly those of Islamic faith, in Badung District as we approach Eid al-Fitr,” said Badung Regent I Wayan Adi Arnawa in a statement in Kuta Utara, Badung, on Tuesday.

The Head of Badung’s Social Services Department (Dinsos), I Gde Eka Sudarwitha, explained that the number of households receiving the Eid al-Fitr social welfare assistance this year reaches 6,518 households. “This assistance is distributed to Muslim residents across the sub-districts: Abiansemal (186 households), Kuta (1,887 households), South Kuta (2,470 households), North Kuta (1,278 households), Mengwi (542 households), and Petang (155 households),” he said.
