TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Netizens show their support for haze victims in Sumatra and Kalimantan by raising money through crowd sourcing at Kitabisa.com/melawanasap. Fuadiyah Kamil, the PR & Communication Officer of Kitabisa.com says the website had raised Rp101,823,987.- million in total from 15 fund-raising events.

“The concern over the harmful effects of the smog is what drives netizens to help out,” said Diyah in its press release on Friday, October 2015.

The money, said Diyah, is used to buy N95 masks and oxygen tubes. Some of the netizens contributed by giving out medicines or Sanseviera plant that is known for its capability of absorbing pollutant. An effort to build a Smog Free Tower is also being sought.

Diyah believes that the haze disaster in Sumatra and Kalimantan should not be taken lightly since it has taken death tolls. She also believes that government’s support has been insufficient.

“When the haze disaster gets worse, what can we do? Public can surely help. For example by donating through Kitabisa.com/melawanasap,” Diyah said.
