A website for the payment of Islamic alms presents a choice of numerous alms institutions offered by online shopping site bukalapak.com. Citizens have a number of options to pay alms online through their smartphones.

Ali Hamzah (11) entered the Blok M Square shopping center in South Jakarta, brimming with a smile. He pushed a shopping cart between lines of shelves, his eyes glued to the displayed women’s clothes on sale. “I want to buy a new dress for mom,” he said.

Ali was not used to shopping at malls. His father is an ojek (motorcycle taxi) driver and his mother is a housewife. The family does not have the luxury of shopping at malls often. On Sunday (26/6/2019), ahead of Idul Fitri, Ali could visit the mall due to the “Shopping with Orphans and Poor People” (BBYD) program held by humanitarian organization Sekolah Relawan (Volunteer School).
