Dayah Subulussalam, Singkil, south of Meulaboh, Aceh

Following the trip to Banda Aceh and Sigli, Ina Nasution visited Dayah Subulussalam orphanage boarding school, that is located in south of Meulaboh. Dayah Subulussalam is located in Singkil - it is about 7 hours drive from Medan.

Hope 4 Our Children allocated funds for the refurbishment of the Dayah Subulussalam orphanage boarding school's dorms. Ina's trip was to monitor the progress of funds allocated for Dayah Subulussalam, train the staff in using the computer as well as report the progress of Dayah. The principal and Head of Dayah Subulussalam is Ustadz Bambang Khoiruddin, a bachelor degree graduate, Jakarta native, who has dedicated more than 10 years of his teaching career in Dayah Subulussalam.

Hope 4 Our Children funds allocation

Note: From tsunami fundraising held by Hope 4 Our Children and Dragonslayers Application, as well as matching funds from Sterling Charitable Gift Fund, Hope 4 Our Children was able to help Dayah Subulussalam by refurbishing the existing dorms: installed ceilings, paint the dorms, as well as build toilets inside the girls dorms. In addition, the water systems as well as toilets were built. Those children do not need to go to the river to bath.
