Our efforts focus on alleviating poverty , ending hunger, and improving health and well-being by providing essential support such as food, shelter, medical aid, and clean water.

At Pelita Hidup, we believe that charity is not just an obligation, but a shared responsibility. Real change happens when we work together, which is why we actively collaborate with organizations, governments, and local communities, embracing the spirit of partnership for the goals.

Impact Stories
Restoration of Dar Al Maamour Mosque and School in the Kingdom of Cambodia
Darul Ma’mur Mosque, located 55 km from Phnom Penh, has served over 3,259 Cambodian Muslims across 1,014 families for the past 30 years. Today, the mosque stands abandoned and unsafe, with a collapsing roof, cracked walls, and broken floors that forced prayers to stop for over a year.
Engineers confirm it can still be restored — but without urgent action, this vital symbol of Islam risks permanent closure and potential takeover.
Water for Life: Wells for a Better Future
In many remote parts of Africa, people still drink dirty water from ponds and rivers, leading to serious diseases like diarrhea and cholera. Women and children walk long distances every day just to collect a small amount of unsafe water. Our well-drilling project aims to give these communities clean, safe drinking water by building wells in the areas that need it most. Each well brings health, hope, and change — children can go to school instead of fetching water, families stay healthy, and farmers can grow crops to support their livelihoods. With your support, we can turn dry villages into thriving communities by providing the gift of clean water.
