Pilgrims pray at the cemetery tomb with the Covid-19 protocol at the Rorotan Public Cemetery, Cilincing District, North Jakarta, Tuesday (24/8/2021). Many Indonesian children have lost their parents due to Covid-19.

The solidarity of residents from different social backgrounds is seen a number of initiatives in helping children who have become orphans because of COVID-19.

Due to their concerns about such problems, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) activist Kalis Mardiasih, the founder of crowd funding website kitabisa.com; Alfatih Timur, the initiator of Warga Bantu Warga (Residents Help Residents) Faiz Ghifar; and the initiator of Kawal COVID-19, Ainun Najib, have established the Kawal Masa Depan (Guarding Future) platform.
