The Zakat Foundation™ Indonesia is a nonprofit organization committed to supporting the community in Indonesia through the collection and distribution of zakat, or Islamic alms-giving. In its annual report for 2013, the Foundation highlighted its achievements and contributions to society over the course of the year.
One of the key achievements of the Foundation in 2013 was the distribution of zakat to those in need. Throughout the year, the Foundation distributed zakat to various groups, including the poor, orphans, widows, and the disabled. In total, the Foundation distributed over 4 billion Indonesian rupiah (equivalent to approximately $360,000 USD) in zakat funds to those in need.
The Foundation also undertook several projects in 2013 to support the community. One of these projects was the construction of a new orphanage in Central Java. The orphanage was designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for orphaned children, and included facilities such as a mosque, a library, and a playground. The Foundation also provided support to existing orphanages, providing food, clothing, and education for orphaned children.
Another project undertaken by the Foundation in 2013 was the provision of clean water to rural communities in Indonesia. The Foundation worked to build wells and water distribution systems in areas where access to clean water was limited. This project helped to improve the health and well-being of communities, particularly in areas where water-borne illnesses were common.
The Foundation also provided support to victims of natural disasters in 2013. When a major earthquake struck Aceh province in Indonesia in 2013, the Foundation quickly mobilized to provide emergency relief to those affected. The Foundation provided food, shelter, and medical care to those in need, helping to ease the suffering of those affected by the disaster.
In addition to its charitable activities, the Zakat Foundation™ Indonesia also worked to promote the importance of zakat in the Muslim community. The Foundation held seminars and workshops throughout the year to educate people about the significance of zakat and to encourage them to contribute to the Foundation’s work.
Overall, the Zakat Foundation™ Indonesia’s annual report for 2013 highlights the important role that the Foundation plays in supporting the community in Indonesia. Through its distribution of zakat funds, its support for orphans and the disadvantaged, its provision of clean water, and its response to natural disasters, the Foundation is making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. The Foundation’s commitment to education and advocacy also helps to raise awareness about the importance of charitable giving in the Muslim community. The Foundation’s achievements in 2013 demonstrate its ongoing commitment to serving the community and helping those in need.
