Educational Scholarships for Orphans

Bekasi, Saturday, August 15, 2026 — The atmosphere at Al-Furqon Mosque in Bekasi was warm and filled with enthusiasm as children supported through the DKM Al-Furqon mentoring program participated in a development session with Rumah Zakat Bekasi, carrying the key message: “Be grateful when blessed with happiness, and be patient when facing trials.” The message became even more meaningful through the story of Belva, one of the fostered children who this year received a government scholarship to pursue medical studies. Belva’s achievement demonstrates how dedication to learning, prayer, and perseverance can open the way toward achieving one’s dreams. Her journey has also inspired fellow fostered children to remain optimistic and determined in pursuing their own aspirations. Belva’s story reminds us that every blessing deserves gratitude. The opportunity to learn, support from parents, good health, and care from people who genuinely care are all blessings that should never be taken for granted. However, the journey toward achieving our dreams is not always easy. There are challenges, setbacks, and long processes that require patience, resilience, and determination. Through activities like this, Rumah Zakat continues to encourage fostered children not only to excel academically, but also to develop strong character, religious values, independence, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their communities. Belva’s story reminds us that when blessings come, we learn to be grateful. When challenges come, we learn to be patient. And when opportunities arise, we must have the courage to pursue them. May Belva’s journey inspire other fostered children to continue learning, praying, and striving to achieve their dreams.
