“The consideration is that aid to disaster locations must have been coordinated. So we are trying to help those here,” said Miftah, Wednesday (3/12).
According to him, disasters in their hometowns made it difficult for many migrant students to meet their food needs because their parents’ deliveries were hampered.Since he announced this initiative via social media on November 29, 2025, dozens of students have come forward asking for help.
Many of them admitted that they had not received news from their families.
For those who cannot come in person, Miftah has prepared alternative delivery via online motorbike taxi.Students can also shop at the nearest stall and then send a photo of the payment barcode.
“We should avoid cash donations as much as possible because they are prone to misuse. Basic necessities are definitely used,” he said.
This act of sharing is actually nothing new.Miftah has for years opened his home to anyone who is experiencing difficulties.
The name of the shop, Sabalingga, is also an acronym for ‘help each other, take care of each other’.He paid for all the basic necessities from his personal pocket.When necessary, he sells paintings to cover his needs.
“I believe the highest point of art is usefulness,” he concluded.
Warkop Perdjuangan, a plate of rice to calm the mind
In Giwangan, Umbulharjo, Warkop Perdjuangan took a similar role.The owner, Khrisna Wijaya, provides free food and drink without conditions for migrant students.
Khrisna said that Warkop is not just a place to eat, but a social space that makes people feel safe.A plate of rice, he said, can help ward off loneliness and maintain mental health.
“The inspiration for providing free meals is purely social responsibility. We want to ensure that overseas children do not sleep hungry,” he said.
Students are welcome to choose the menu as they wish, even if they want to eat three times a day.Around 30 migrant students have contacted his warkop via social media.
“Those who feel they need help, come straight away and choose food. No need to show your ID card,” said Khrisna.
According to him, this program is not a seasonal initiative when disasters occur, but rather a routine activity since Warkop was founded.
Another solidarity came from Warung Makan Nusantara in Banguntapan, Bantul.The management understands the anxiety of migrants who have not received their monthly deliveries due to the disaster.
Therefore, they prepare free food with a simple principle: don’t let students delay hunger.The hope is that students will remain focused on studying and maintain their enthusiasm until conditions in their hometown improve.
