Dompet Dhuafa Remember Programme Reaches Thousands of Orphans and Qur'an Memorisers
Dompet Dhuafa, in partnership with the Indonesian Catering Services Association (PPJI), has expanded the reach of its Remember programme, which targets orphans, disadvantaged children, and Qur’an memorisers across various regions in Indonesia.
The programme was launched as part of Ramadan activities through the Remember event titled “A Festive and Blessed Ramadan” at Ecovention Ancol in North Jakarta on Sunday, 8 March 2026.
A total of 2,000 orphans, disadvantaged children, and Qur’an memorisers participated in the event, which provided a space for joy and togetherness during Ramadan.
The Remember programme involved approximately 800 volunteers from Dompet Dhuafa Volunteer as well as several Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) who helped spread messages of compassion to the wider public.
“We are grateful to be involved in the PPJI event for the third time. This year we have expanded collaboration and impact to 24 cities throughout Indonesia. The number of orphans and disadvantaged children we assist continues to increase, and we have now included Qur’an memorisers,” said Herdiansah in a press statement on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.
Beyond Jakarta, the 2026 Remember programme is present in 22 other regions, including South Sulawesi, Gorontalo, Surabaya, Malang, Madiun, Yogyakarta, Tasikmalaya, Cirebon, Bontang, Balikpapan, East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sumatra, Southeast Sulawesi, Riau, Lampung, Manado, Berau, Bandung, West Seram, Ambon, and Banten.
One of the main activities in the Remember programme is joint breaking-of-fast with orphans, disadvantaged children, and families in need, including those in disaster-affected areas.
The activities also include distribution of aid parcels and cash assistance as forms of support and compassion.
On this occasion, Herdiansah explained that Dompet Dhuafa is also implementing various other social programmes during Ramadan.
In disaster management, Dompet Dhuafa, through its Disaster Management Centre (DMC) team, distributes various emergency aid, including ready-to-eat food distribution, healthcare services, psychosocial support, and fulfilment of basic needs for disaster survivors.
In addition, Dompet Dhuafa is also implementing recovery programmes by constructing temporary housing for families who have lost their homes and supporting the continuation of children’s education through improvements to school facilities in disaster-affected areas.
