About Dayah Subulussalam

There are 223 children of Dayah Subulussalam (DS), a total of 102 children are live-in students. Dayah Subulussalam provides Islamic education as well as formal education. Out of 102 live-in children, a total 49 children are not able to pay monthly tuition of Rp 180,000 or $20 (including cost of living at dorms, cost of food and education). These students are orphans or very poor children. This was the reason why DS has been having problems affording themselves, let alone accepting tsunami survivors into DS.

DS has 19 full time teachers; they are bachelors graduate and associate degree graduates from colleges all over Indonesia.
