Visiting and share love with children at Mount Merbabu.

MBMF Foundation Humanitarian Visit to SDN Boyolali & SDN Ringin Sari, Mount Merbabu – Central Java

By Budi Margono, ST, MBA
Chairman – MBMF Foundation

MBMF Foundation, led by Budi Margono, recently conducted a humanitarian and social outreach visit to SDN Boyolali and SDN Ringin Sari, located in the beautiful highland area of Mount Merbabu, Central Java, Indonesia.  (remote place)

This visit was a collaborative mission together with the JKI Holy Stadium Church team, united by a shared calling to serve, love, and uplift local communities—especially children and villagers in rural areas.

Serving with Love and Compassion

During the visit, the MBMF Foundation and church team distributed books, food supplies, and daily necessities to students and villagers. More than material support, the team spent meaningful time sharing stories, encouragement, and hope, creating moments of joy and connection with the children and families.

Laughter, smiles, and heartfelt conversations filled the day. The atmosphere reflected genuine fellowship—where giving and receiving blended into a shared human experience.

Education, Faith, and Community

Education remains a core focus of MBMF Foundation. By providing books and learning materials, the foundation aims to inspire children to dream, learn, and grow despite geographic and economic limitations.

Together with JKI Holy Stadium Church, the outreach emphasized:

• Compassion-driven service

• Faith in action

• Community empowerment

• Moral and spiritual encouragement
  
  

The presence of the church team strengthened the mission, reminding everyone that true impact is created when faith and action walk together.

Gratitude and Sponsorship

This outreach was made possible through the generosity of MBMF Foundation sponsors, church partners, and volunteers, whose support enabled the mission to reach remote areas around Mount Merbabu.

Budi Margono expressed deep gratitude to all partners who believe in using resources as a blessing for others.

“We believe that every child deserves education, hope, and love. Serving communities like SDN Boyolali and SDN Ringin Sari is not charity—it is our shared responsibility as humans and as people of faith.”
— Budi Margono

Looking Forward

MBMF Foundation remains committed to expanding its humanitarian programs across Indonesia and beyond—integrating education, faith, sustainability, and social impact to build a better future.

By God’s grace, this visit is one of many steps toward empowering communities, nurturing young minds, and spreading hope where it is needed most.

Sumatra Floods Relief Support

Sumatra Floods Relief Support

MBMF Foundation Supports Church & Community Relief Efforts for Sumatra Floods — December 2025

North Sumatra, Indonesia — December 2025 — MBMF Foundation extends its deepest condolences and solidarity to communities affected by the devastating floods and landslides across North Sumatra in December 2025. Prolonged extreme rainfall caused widespread flooding, resulting in more than 1,000 reported fatalities, large-scale displacement, and significant damage to homes and infrastructure.

Partnership-based humanitarian response

In response to the disaster, MBMF Foundation supports trusted local friends, church communities, and volunteer teams already present on the ground, strengthening ongoing relief efforts rather than deploying a separate field operation. This approach ensures timely, culturally sensitive, and effective assistance.

Churches as evacuation and relief centers

Across affected areas, local churches served as official and community-recognized evacuation points, opening their doors to displaced families regardless of background or belief.

With support from MBMF Foundation and local partners, posko (relief coordination posts) were supported at key locations:  Medan, Langsa, Aceh, Belawan

Local coordination was supported by Mr. Andi Prawira and community partners, who continue to serve affected communities with dedication.

Commitment to dignity, life, and collaboration

MBMF Foundation believes that local faith and community institutions play a vital role in disaster response, often becoming the first place of safety and hope during crisis. Supporting these institutions reflects our commitment to preserving life, dignity, and social cohesion.

We continue to pray for healing, strength, and restoration for all those affected by the floods in North Sumatra.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
— Psalm 46:1
