Support Humanity Fund for Peace and Justice

The joy of Hari Raya is the right of all human beings. For this year's Eid al-Fitr event, Indonesia for Humanity (IKa) presented a memorable Hari Raya for survivors of past gross human rights violations, especially the elderly survivors of '65 tragedy (Si Mbah).

IKa arranged a fundraising entitled "Bingkisan Hari Raya untuk Si Mbah '65" or "Eid Al-Fitr Gift for the Elderly Victims of the '65 Tragedy". This fundraising took place from April 7, 2022 to April 26, 2022. Within a period of approximately two weeks, we managed to collect donations a sum of Rp 5,985,000,- (equivalent to $398). Aside from that, our effort to bring a joyful Eid for the elderly survivors too was made possible by the donations we have received through GlobalGiving - that successfully has allowed everyone from outside of Indonesia to connect and support humanity works from all around the globe.

IKa did not work alone in distributing this joy to the elderly survivors of the '65 tragedy. In doing so, IKa collaborated with a number of supporting organizations that work to assist elderly survivors of past gross human rights violations. On this occasion, IKA collaborated with KontraS, Sekber'65, Solidaritas Indonesia (SI), and Kiprah Perempuan (KIPPER). A total of 19 elderly survivors on the island of Java became the beneficiaries of the fundraising to meet the needs of the Eid Al-Fitr celebration.

It is undeniable that the impact of systematic stereotyping has an impact even to the survivors’ next generations. This occassion is not only a form of sharing love in the month of Ramadan, but also a form of concern on behalf of human rights, as well as a reminder that there is still unfinished history that leaves severe deprivations for the survivors.

"As a victim of the '65 tragedy, I am very grateful for the help from all of my friends. This donation shows our care and love for us who have been fighting for justice for years,” said Nani Nurani, one of the survivors of the '65 tragedy who received the donation.

We certainly feel very delighted to be able to come together in the month of Ramadan this year. This achievement would not have been possible without the support of our dearest donors who have donated and helped delivered a memorable Eid for the elderly survivors. We hope that this will strengthen our solidarity to help in providing a comfortable old age for the elderly who have survived past gross human rights violations.
