In celebration of National Youth Pledge Day on October 28th, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia organized its annual event, 28UILD (to build). This event encourages the younger generation to construct and paint decent houses for low-income society. The event took place in Bebulak Sub-Village, Margamulya Village, Mauk Subdistrict, Tangerang Regency, where youth from diverse backgrounds gathered to take part in establishing decent housing for low-income families.
28UILD has successfully brought together more than 300 people from various communities, schools, and organizations, all sharing an unwavering passion for laying foundations, constructing walls, and painting houses. On that day, the event managed to build 10 houses and paint 50 others.
The atmosphere became even more festive once the booth opened. Visitors enthusiastically sought various information about Habitat, participated in games, and purchased merchandise, which attracted more people to the booth. Notably, the booth featured a “Dart” game (throwing small arrows at a board). During the game, participants could donate as little as IDR 20,000 to support low-income families in acquiring decent housing.
Furthermore, the booth regained its liveliness through the “Lucky Draw” program. For every multiple of IDR 50,000 spent, visitors received a coupon that could be exchanged for attractive prizes. This added an extra layer of excitement and engagement to the event.
The 28UILD booth this year successfully collected donations, including IDR 2,405,000 from merchandise sales and individual contributions totaling IDR 2,391,750. We extend our sincere gratitude to the visitors who not only visited the booth but also generously donated to support Habitat. These donations will play a crucial role in expanding Habitat’s services to many families in need of decent housing within the Habitat Service Area. Thank you for your valuable contributions!
