JAKARTA - The founder of the Malacca Project, Ferry Irwandi, has succeeded in mobilizing public solidarity on a massive scale. The fundraising he initiated for victims of natural disasters on the island of Sumatra managed to collect a donation of Rp. 10.3 billion in just 24 hours.

Through uploads on his social media accounts, Ferry announced that the fundraising opened through the Kitabisa.com platform has been officially closed. He expressed his deep gratitude to the more than 87 thousand people who have participated in this humanitarian action.

"For 24 hours we managed to collect 10.3 billion rupiah donations for disaster victims on the island of Sumatra," Ferry wrote, quoted by VOI from his personal Instagram, Tuesday, December 2.

He also emphasized that the funds collected will soon be distributed to those in need, with the top priority being given to areas that are difficult to reach.

"Furthermore, we will immediately distribute aid to all affected areas, especially for remote and isolated areas," he continued.

This achievement turned out to be not only extraordinary in terms of numbers, but also set a record. According to information from the Kitabisa.com team, Ferry's fundraising was recorded as the largest ever on the platform for the national disaster category.

"This can happen because of the concern and contribution of friends," he concluded.
