Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Alhamdulillah thanks to your payment of Kaffarah, Rumah Zakat was able to distribute 261 ready meal packages in one of Rumah Zakat's 'Empowered Village' of Kebonharjo in Kendal regency, Central Java.

The meals were distributed to beneficiaries working in the streets, and those at home who were not able to work. One such beneficiary is Mr Yusuf. he is a construction worker, but due to a broken leg after a motorcycle accident, he hadn't been able to work for two years. He had to rely on his wife who works odd jobs to support their family. He has recovered now, but due to the 2-year absence and lack of income, he has to repay many financial debts incurred during his time off from work.
"Alhamdulillah I have received this meal with a meat dish in it, very unexpected," he remarked.

"We distributed the packages to residents of Kebonharjo village. There were stone workers, manual laborers, and other people from other occupations," recalled Siti Munawaroh, the Rumah Zakat volunteer distributing the packages.

Meanwhile the head resident of RW 5, Iwan Setiawan also recalled, " Thanks to Allah and to Rumah Zakat for the generous assistance. Most of our residents only eat meat during Eid Al Adha, but now we can enjoy it again. Thank you to all Rumah Zakat donors for this."

Let us hope this assistance will bring happiness to the residents of Kebonharjo village. May Allah reward your generosity in many folds.

Jazakallah Khairan Katsira
