REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — Dhuafa Wallet holds a Free Homecoming for beneficiaries, most of whom are built by Dhuafa Wallet. A total of 350 beneficiaries were removed from the Philanthropy Building, Dhuafa Wallet located in Jatipadang, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, Thursday (4/4/2024).
Deputy Director of Dhuafa Wallet Foundation Republika, Herdiansah, said this year was a golden opportunity for the Dhuafa Wallet building to celebrate Eid with loved ones in the hometown after years of not being able to experience homecoming and experiencing economic limitations when it comes to homecoming.
“As for this free homecoming service, it covers four main routes of immigrants, namely Jakarta-Yogya-Wonogiri, Jakarta-Purwokerto-Sidareja, Jakarta-Madiun, to Jakarta-Bandar Lampung,” Herdiansah said.
At the same time, Dompet Dhuafa also launched preventive services for settlers in order to carry out homecoming in comfort, safety and blessings by opening a homecoming postal service by placing seven strategic locations in different areas.
“Dhuafa Wallet Homecoming Post this year is spread across seven strategic locations, among them Toyomerto gas station (Serang-Banten), Rest Area of Jami Al-Mahdiyyiin Mosque (Kab. Bandung-Jabar), Rest Area Taman Cirebon Power (Kab. Cirebon-Jabar), Great Mosque of At-Taqwa Ajibaran (Kab. Banyumas-Jateng), Abnais Sabil Banyuwangi Mosque (Banyuwangi-Jatim), Pulo Gebang Terminal (DKI Jakarta), and Kampung Rambutan Terminal (DKI Jakarta),” Herdiansah said.

He continued, the operating time of each homecoming post located outside the city of Jakarta is open for 24 hours, while the two Homecoming Post locations in Jakarta are limited from 10.00 pm to 21.00 pm. “I hope this Free Homecoming program is the material for us to roll out in the coming year with more beneficiaries absorbed and our readiness for even better immigrants. Thank you very much also to the donors who have supported the variety of Dhuafa Wallet programs so that it is well absorbed in the community, one of which is this free homecoming,” he explained.
One of the beneficiaries of the Dhuafa Wallet free homecoming, Tursinah claimed to be very happy to be selected and to be part of the Dhuafa Wallet free homecoming this year. “Thank God, we haven’t been able to go home for five years. The new economy can recover, plus two years ago the corona pandemic melted the family’s economic joints. Today, I brought my four children and my husband, thank God I can fly in my hometown,” she said.
