BANDUNG – Daarut Tauhiid Waqf (Wakaf DT) in collaboration with DT Peduli has distributed the optimized proceeds of its Cash Waqf for Humanity program, totaling IDR 57 million, to support the development of Madrasah Bushola — the first school in Souf Camp that offers junior and senior high school level education for Palestinian refugee children.
The donation was delivered on Sunday, March 9, 2025, alongside contributions from other humanitarian organizations. The funds will be used to support the construction of a hall, a mosque for brothers, and a mosque for sisters.
The DT Peduli team personally handed the assistance to Sheikh Walid Abul Jihad, Head of the Foundation managing Madrasah Bushola. Sheikh Walid expressed his hopes that the school would nurture future leaders of Palestine.
“May this school become the birthplace of leaders who will one day step forward to liberate Palestine,” he said.
According to M. Ihsan, Director of DT Peduli’s Community Service Division, who was also present during the donation, the aid goes beyond charity—it is a strategic investment in education for Palestine’s future.
“Our efforts are not just limited to basic humanitarian aid like food and clothing. We strive to support through education, because education is the key to a better future, especially for Palestinian children living under occupation,” he emphasized.
Doddy Ekapriades Topan, Director of DT Waqf, explained that the Cash Waqf for Humanity initiative is a productive waqf program whose returns are channeled toward humanitarian aid—especially for Palestine.
“The support includes clean water, food, clothing, and other vital needs, including infrastructure development,” said Doddy.
He further added that this waqf model enables sustainable support.
“This is not ordinary charity. With a productive waqf, one contribution can result in ongoing charity. A person donates waqf once, but receives the reward repeatedly—potentially until the Day of Judgment.”
Doddy hopes that the Cash Waqf for Palestine program will continue to play a role in rebuilding war-torn Palestine and meeting essential needs such as education.
“This is part of our accountability to our waqf donors. This is what we’ve managed to channel within seven months. We pray it becomes a meaningful contribution to rebuilding Palestine and serving its people,” he concluded.
