Rumah Zakat Distributes Basic Food Supplies to Needy Elderly in Indonesia–Malaysia Border

Rumah Zakat has distributed basic food assistance to needy elderly individuals in Sentabeng, Sekida Village, Jagoi Babang District, Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan, through its Food Health Programme. This area is part of the Indonesia–Malaysia border region, which continues to face various challenges in meeting the basic needs of its population.

The distribution of these food supplies serves as a form of care for the underprivileged elderly who are still struggling to meet their daily living requirements. Amidst limited economic conditions, this food aid is expected to help lighten the burden on the beneficiaries.

In addition to helping meet basic needs, this programme represents a commitment to supporting vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly living in border areas. The beneficiaries welcomed the assistance with great gratitude and joy, as the arrival of the food supplies provides both hope and renewed spirit for their daily activities.

The distribution in Jagoi Babang demonstrates Rumah Zakat’s commitment to delivering benefits to Indonesia’s outermost regions. Through various humanitarian and empowerment programmes, Rumah Zakat continues to strive to reach those in need, regardless of location or geographical conditions.

Furthermore, this activity serves as evidence that the spirit of sharing can reach remote and border areas, ensuring that communities in these regions still feel the attention and care of donors who contribute through Rumah Zakat.

The Food Health Programme is one of Rumah Zakat’s efforts to assist the community in meeting decent nutritional needs. Through this programme, various food aids are distributed to vulnerable groups, including the needy elderly, to support a better quality of life.

The provision of these food supplies is expected not only to assist with daily nutritional needs but also to bring happiness and a sense of security to the beneficiaries. Rumah Zakat expressed its gratitude to all donors for their trust in various charitable programmes, noting that through donor support, benefits can continue to reach those in need even in Indonesia’s border territories.
