BLORA, CENTRAL JAVA -— Kindness flows endlessly, like water. Acts of kindness can continue to spread and bring benefits, just as water finds its way even when blocked by rocks or soil. Similarly, kindness will find its path, even in the face of challenges.
Like the well endowment that has been successfully built for the community of Beganjing Village, Japah Sub-district, Blora Regency, on Tuesday (May 27, 2025). The frequent droughts in Blora posed a unique challenge, but thanks to the collaboration between the Central Java branch of Bank Indonesia and Dompet Dhuafa, the well endowment now serves as a source of clean water for the surrounding community.
In recognition of the availability of clean water that can now be utilized by the surrounding community, Dompet Dhuafa and Bank Indonesia Branch Central Java held a celebration filled with warmth and joy. The community welcomed the celebration with great enthusiasm, accompanied by prayers and traditional dishes prepared by the women of Beganjing Village.
Also present at the event were Zaini Tafrikhan, Branch Manager of Dompet Dhuafa Central Java, and Meysara Cahyadi, Assistant Director of Bank Indonesia Central Java, along with community leaders and villagers.
“This Wakaf Sumur program is one of many charitable initiatives carried out by Dompet Dhuafa in collaboration with Bank Indonesia. We hope this good relationship continues so that more people can benefit from it,” said Zaini Tafrikhan.

Meanwhile, Meysara Cahyadi, Assistant Director of Bank Indonesia Central Java, also expressed his deep impression of the community’s enthusiasm. The construction of the waqf well in Beganjing Village is part of Dompet Dhuafa and Bank Indonesia’s commitment to providing real and sustainable solutions for the community, especially in areas that still have limited access to clean water.
“We are deeply moved by the warm welcome from the villagers. The food prepared by the local women and the recitation of prayers are a sign of extraordinary joy. We hope this facility will be well-maintained and utilized to the fullest,” said Meysara.
Expressions of gratitude also came from Awang, one of the residents who directly felt the benefits of the well endowment, which was the result of a joint campaign conducted through the digital platform digital.dompetdhuafa.org, as part of the Central Java Rural Well Endowment Program, which was officially launched during Ramadan 1446 H alongside the Deputy Governor of Central Java at the Bank Indonesia Central Java Auditorium.
“We are deeply grateful for the attention from Bank Indonesia and Dompet Dhuafa. This well is not just a temporary benefit, but will continue to provide benefits for future generations,” said Awang.
