ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ

My name is Maria, and I’ve always been passionate about creating a positive impact for those in need. Through my degree and in collaboration with an architectural team, I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: the creation of a modernised Gubuk Sawah (rice field hut) for the incredibly hardworking farmers in a small rural area of Indonesia. This space will support local farmers and the surrounding community by providing a place to rest, gather, and store crops. Many of these farmers work long, exhausting hours under the sun with very little shelter or support.

By donating, you’ll be helping me create a space that honours their dedication and gives back to those who nourish so many.

A reminder that in Islam, helping others—especially those in need—is a powerful form of sadaqah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Charity does not decrease wealth,” and giving brings blessings in ways we may not even realise. Your support, no matter how small, will have a lasting impact—in this life and the next, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ
