Jakarta Administration is organising a mass iftar (ending fast) in 223 community units in June. This would be organised and funded by private as well as local administration.
Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said, "Both the administration and citizens will work together for the iftar events, as well as for the funding,”
Anies also added citizens who want to participate in this preparation can send donations to a bank account set up by ACT and Dompet Dhuafa NGO.
The Vice president of ACT Imam Akbari said, "We want citizens to help each other, so we will facilitate anyone who wants to collaborate with us during the Ramadan fasting month. We will start with iftar events, which some may regard as trivial, but it is actually precious for some of our friends,”
He also added that ACT will also accept food donations.
