PoW: Delivering Aid to Flood Victims in Pidie Jaya, Aceh

Plebs, today I personally delivered part of the donated aid from all of you to the victims of the flash floods in Aceh, Indonesia—specifically in Teupin Pukat village, Meurah Dua District (Mereudu). The remaining donations will be distributed to other villages that were also severely affected.

The aid was received directly by the head of Teupin Pukat village, Mulyadi (wearing the green shirt on the far left).
Together with his team, he expressed deep gratitude to Bitcoiners, even though they do not fully understand how Bitcoin aid works or how it reached them. What amazed them most was when I told them that this help came from abroad.

FYI:
Previously, there were reports that the Indonesian government rejected aid from other countries that wanted to help disaster victims in Sumatra. In local media, Indonesian officials claimed they were capable of handling the disaster. However, in reality, the government response has been slow and appears neglectful. The affected people are deeply disappointed.

The items they received, which I purchased and delivered, were:

10 hoes
10 shovels
10 pairs of tall rubber boots
10 wheelbarrows

(A detailed report of items and prices will be shared in the next post.)

After receiving the aid, they immediately used the tools to work together, cleaning places of worship and their own homes that were buried under soil after the floods. Many houses are no longer habitable, forcing residents to stay in emergency tents.

The village officials of Teupin Pukat were happy and relieved to receive aid that truly matched their urgent needs.
I asked the village head about the village budget and assistance from the central government.

He sighed and said, “As a newly elected village head, I don’t have the freedom to use state funds. Only a very small portion can be disbursed, and even that requires complicated and slow bureaucracy.”

He continued, “The central government, which holds the real authority, only tells us to be patient. Aid has not arrived, so we are forced to move on our own and seek help from anywhere,” he said with a disappointed expression.

Today marks 28 days after the flood disaster. If the Indonesian government had handled the disaster properly, these communities would not have needed to seek recovery assistance from others.

Plebs, today we discussed and decided…

Plebs, today we discussed and decided that tomorrow, Tuesday, December 23, 2025, we will depart to distribute the sats donations from all of you to the victims of the floods and landslides in Aceh, specifically in Pidie Jaya Regency.

The victims whose homes were buried by soil after the floods urgently need equipment to clean their houses. We have already ordered the necessary tools. Tomorrow, we depart.

The total donation that has been converted into rupiah amounts to 1,000,901 sats, approximately 15 million IDR or around USD 895.

I was moved to do this because Bitcoin cannot be stopped by governments. Previously, our government was slow in responding to this ecological disaster. Even worse, the government refused aid from other countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, China, and several other Middle Eastern countries.

I believe Bitcoin is the only form of aid that is fast, effective, and borderless. However, trust is what truly matters here. I may not be trusted, but the sats donations I have received will be distributed. Photos and videos will be the only proof of the work I have done to help my brothers and sisters here who are suffering after the disaster.

I’m still accepting sats donations. Once enough is collected, I will proceed with the second withdrawal phase. Thank you beyond words from all of us, Aceh plebs.
