Dear 
Our Respected Donors 


Today I am reaching you kindly to inform you that on the ground teams response on the flooding across Sukabumi, Bogor and Banten regions. 

The funds that we have received to response on the the flashflood that occured late year 2020 and early year 2021.  The program that we have delivered for the community was the Humanity food truck program for the flood survivors of Ciemas Sukabumi and other regions. The location has been flooded for days and ACT's program has been implemented for the first time in this area and for the first time the residents have received assistance in the form of free food aid.

The community rarely receive the assistance because their location is very remote that is difficult to reach the location. The beneficiaries are very grateful to the donors who provided assistance during the natural disasters occured in Indonesia. The survivors have been living in the uncertain time due of  the Covid-19 and most of them are unemployed due to laid off from the work-place, etc. 

There was an elderly called Marsitoh who is 80 years old and expressed her emotional feeling on the aid assisatance that so meaningful for her. She was not the one who expressed their feelings on the aid distribution. Thanks a lot to GlobalGiving donors who always with Indonesian coomunity at any circumstances. 

Indeed, please stay safe and healthy fro everyone.
