When the post-tsunami rehabilitation and reconstruction programs ended, the community empowerment program at Alue Naga village, Syiah Koala district, Banda Aceh City, stopped completely. Zainal Abidin Suarja independently worked to empower the community\'s economy, mangrove restoration and children\'s education.

When Zainal arrived at a house in Alue Naga village on a Wednesday (19/12/2019) afternoon, five women were preparing the ingredients for making oyster crackers. The women were residents of Alue Naga who participated in the cracker and nugget business made from oysters.
