"Dompet Dhuafa in the framework of 25 years continues to work together and become a driver in humanitarian cases in the international world," he said.

In responding to the issue of refugees and asylum seekers whose condition is quite apprehensive, he continued, Dompet Dhuafa rolled out "School for Refugees" to provide positive activities as a form of trauma healing as well as learning Indonesian for refugee children.
"In addition, Dompet Dhuafa is working with UNHCR to facilitate the basic health of refugees, with the aim of reducing maternal mortality in childbirth," he said.
According to data from the Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Human Rights and Law, there are 14,364 refugees and asylum seekers in Indonesia by 2017.

Then 4,478 refugees also lived in community homes and 5,382 refugees alive as independent refugees.
"The refugee problem is the result of a humanitarian crisis in their home country, for example, the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar that has affected ethnic Rohingya, an ethnic minority in Myanmar," he said.
