TANGERANG —-— A spirit of social compassion characterized the series of Tarhib Ramadan 2026 events organized by the Forum Islamic Village Bersatu (FIBER) at Villa Ilhami Field, Islamic Village, on Sunday (February 8, 2026). In anticipation of Ramadan, FIBER donated Rp22,270,111 in humanitarian aid to assist flood survivors in Sumatra through Dompet Dhuafa.
This donation distribution is part of the spirit of sharing embodied in Tarhib Ramadan, an initiative that integrates education, health, community economic empowerment, and social action into a single series of activities. Starting in the morning, the event began with a Tarhib Ramadan parade, the opening ceremony, a community market, a blood drive, health check-ups, and the “Ramadan Life Hack Series” sessions covering topics such as finance, health, halal certification, zakat and charity, children’s education, workplace productivity, and safe travel for the annual homecoming.
The donations collected by FIBER came from the participation of congregants, residents, and communities involved during the fundraising period leading up to the event. This aid was distributed as a gesture of compassion for flood survivors in Sumatra who still need support for post-disaster recovery, especially as the holy month of Ramadan approaches.

Heryadi Silvianto, Chairman of FIBER, stated that this initiative is a collective effort to ensure the spirit of Ramadan is also felt by our brothers and sisters facing the trials of disaster.
“Alhamdulillah, the donations entrusted to us by the public and collected through FIBER have reached Rp22,270,111. We hope this assistance serves as a beacon of hope for our brothers and sisters in Sumatra who are striving to recover from the disaster, especially as Ramadan approaches. May this small step become part of our shared blessings,” said Heryadi.
Based on the latest data on disaster response in Sumatra, recovery efforts are still ongoing in several affected areas. Damage to housing, public facilities, and basic logistical needs remain the focus of various humanitarian organizations, including Dompet Dhuafa, which continues to provide response, recovery, and empowerment programs for survivors.
Dompet Dhuafa expressed its appreciation for FIBER’s trust in entrusting humanitarian aid to disaster survivors.
“We extend our gratitude for the trust and collaborative goodwill from FIBER. This assistance is deeply meaningful as the recovery process in Sumatra is still ongoing. Support from communities like this serves as vital energy to ensure survivors continue receiving essential services, healthcare, and economic recovery support. May this collaboration not end here but serve as the starting point for more connections and acts of kindness in the future,” said Yudha Andilla, Retail Manager at Dompet Dhuafa.
