PoW: Delivering Aid to Flood Victims in Aceh Tamiang (Phase 03)
My team and I (a total of five people) distributed equipment to help clean mud left behind by the floods to victims affected by the ecological disaster. The cleaning tools included shovels, hoes, and boots.
In addition to cleaning equipment, we also distributed household necessities for evacuees, such as sarongs, mosquito nets, prayer mats, and mukenas.
I purchased 15 units of each item, adjusted to the amount of donations received. The donations were distributed in Matang Teupah Village, Bendahara Subdistrict, Aceh Tamiang Regency, Aceh, Indonesia.
The aid was received directly by one of the affected victims named Zakaria Adnan, whom I call Jack. He shared many painful experiences from when the disaster happened.
“At first, the floodwater reached our knees, but the rain didn’t stop for days. Before the water submerged our house, I evacuated first, bringing my wife and children to higher ground.”
“Unfortunately, there was no place left that wasn’t flooded, because all the land was submerged. When we slept, the ground beneath us was water. After a week, the water receded, and I returned home to find my house and everything inside covered in mud.”
“During the flood, there was a corpse floating right in front of me. The strong current made it impossible for me to evacuate it. It was heartbreaking—we ate whatever the water carried to us, and we lived 28 days without electricity.”
I entrusted the aid to Jack’s house, and he will then distribute it to other victims according to the evacuees’ needs.
“I am very grateful to the Bitcoin donors. This aid is extremely valuable and truly needed by the victims to rebuild their lives,” Jack said with a happy expression.
I asked him about the weather, which is still bad, with frequent heavy rain, and whether he is afraid that another flood might come.
“Of course, when it rains, we can’t sleep comfortably. The fear is always there. I will evacuate again and leave everything behind. I hope the flood disaster will not happen again,” he said.

Ongoing Donation Update
Total sats: 628.200
Remaining fiat balance: IDR 2,161,267
Thank you from Aceh to all plebs who have donated.
I have transferred the sats from two Wallet of Satoshi wallets to my Muun Wallet. From Muun, I will move the funds to a local CEX to convert them into Indonesian rupiah, so I can purchase essential supplies for flood victims in Aceh.
I am currently waiting for direct confirmation of the most urgent needs from the affected victims themselves. The next planned distribution of aid will be delivered to Aceh Tamiang, one of the districts most severely impacted by the disaster.
Attached below is a photo showing the total sats collected so far. 100% of the donations will be distributed to flood victims in Aceh, Indonesia.
In Aceh Tamiang, some homes have already been cleaned and are now habitable again for survivors. However, hundreds of houses were completely destroyed by the floods, and thousands of victims are currently living in temporary evacuation tents.
Many volunteers from various groups have been helping since the early days of the disaster. However, the scale of this catastrophe—one that should have been declared a national disaster (but was not)—is still far from being adequately addressed to restore this ecological disaster.
I am acting independently to raise donations from the Bitcoin community, while staying coordinated with fellow volunteers and directly affected victims, many of whom are my own friends.
With the sats donations from all of you, plebs, I will do my best to ensure the aid reaches those who truly need it most, so they can begin rebuilding their lives after the disaster.

PoW: Installation of Water Pipeline in Bener Meriah, Aceh
Plebs, on Saturday, December 27, 2025, residents of Bener Meriah carried out community work to install a water pipeline. Previously, a severe landslide had struck the area, destroying their only source of clean water.
Earlier, I had already reported here about their needs and the donation amount for them:
https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsfzyp3ngstamhhw9n0n2px5dqsfua0zdrgk4qr049ytc2sypj4yrcu3rnuh
Fauzan, one of the villagers there, thanked me, and I told him that the money I sent was a donation from Bitcoiners on Nostr.
“If that’s the case, please tell them that the residents of Rembele Village are grateful to the Bitcoiners,” he said via WhatsApp message.
Now, one month after the disaster, the residents of Rembele Village can once again access clean water flowing directly into their homes for daily needs such as washing, cooking, and sanitation.
Previously, they had to walk more than two kilometers to carry water for daily use, and even then, a single trip was not enough for one family.
Frustrated by the government’s slow response in helping to repair the water supply, they finally took action themselves—pooling their own funds and seeking help from outside.
In the end, they managed to purchase a total of 300 pipes (each pipe is 5.80 meters long and 3 inches thick). Of these, 22 pipes were funded by the donation I sent to them in cash.
They purchased the pipes from a store in another district. As residents living in the highlands, they are no longer isolated. Main roads and bridges damaged by floods and landslides have been temporarily repaired at several critical points, allowing them to be crossed carefully.
Plebs, thank you beyond words for your sats donations.

The Condition of Victims One Month After the Disaster
On Friday, December 26, 2025, I rode in my friend’s car as we went deeper into villages severely affected by flooding in Meurah Dua District, Pidie Jaya. We passed through two neighboring villages along the way.
Exactly one month after the floods, the victims can only rely on themselves. Every day, little by little, they dig and remove the soil that has buried their homes, using only basic tools.
Some houses are buried under one meter of soil, while others are covered by nearly three meters. Some residents have already given up—exhausted and resigned, unable to shovel soil that has hardened to such depths.
Other villagers dig into their homes just to retrieve items needed to survive. It looks like a treasure hunt, but in reality they are only searching for a frying pan to cook, or basic household necessities. For now, they can only live crowded together in evacuation tents.
The flash floods that struck Aceh and Sumatra on November 26, 2025, were not ordinary floods. The raging waters carried not only mud, but also massive logs. After the water receded, soil and timber piled up, as if swallowing entire homes.
The damage is not only material. Water sources have also been lost—wells are buried and dried up. To this day, access to clean water remains extremely difficult. Emergency wells are only available at evacuation centers. Some remote villages still have no electricity.
My volunteer team and I are currently surveying the area to provide access to clean water. Several ideas are already being discussed, including the costs involved. At this moment, clean water is the most urgent need for flood victims. Water is the source of life—without it, life comes to a standstill.
If you are wondering whether a government with vast resources is incapable of handling this disaster—
I don’t know. Whether they are incapable, or simply unwilling.

Sependapat 🤝, indonesia berada di tangan pejabat yang serakah dan tidak kompeten. 🤦
Discontent grows in Aceh over how the administration of President Prabowo Subianto handles disaster relief, as the crisis driven by deadly floods and landslides has dragged on for nearly a month.

NEXT DONATION DISTRIBUTION (Phase 02)
Location: Rembele Village, Bener Meriah Regency
Urgent need: Water supply pipes
Purpose: To access clean water
Donation amount: IDR 3,000,000
Form of donation: Cash
Story:
After Pidie Jaya, I allocated part of the donations to the community of Rembele Village, Bukit District, Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh, Indonesia. This highland area was severely affected by a major disaster on November 25, 2025.
As of today—29 days after the disaster—the area remains isolated. The main roads are cut off due to landslides, and bridges were destroyed by heavy flooding. The only fast way to reach the area is by air—by helicopter or small aircraft.
For now, residents are surviving with whatever they can manage. Their most urgent need is access to clean water. The floods and landslides destroyed their only water source. The pipes that supplied water to homes were completely damaged, and many springs were buried by landslides. As a result, residents must walk nearly two kilometers to collect clean water for daily needs.
Because aid from the central government has not arrived to rebuild the water system, villagers have begun working together to restore water access on their own. Fauzan, my older brother is one of the residents there. He survived the floods and landslides, and now they urgently need pipes to rebuild the water channel.
They need more than 800 meters of pipes to reach the water source. The community has raised funds independently, but it is not enough to cover all needs amid the hardship following the disaster. Plebs, I set aside part of your sats donations and sent them to my brother so he and the villagers can begin rebuilding the water system as soon as possible. They will purchase the required pipes locally.
They are still short of 80 pipes. Each pipe costs IDR 150,000. I have sent IDR 3,000,000 in cash, enough to buy 20 pipes—which is still far from sufficient, leaving a shortage of 40 more pipes.
“Whatever funds we have, it’s okay—we’ll try to find donations elsewhere,” my brother said.
I truly wanted to go there myself and deliver the needed supplies directly, but the only fast access is by air, which I cannot afford. Traveling by land would take many days on foot, crossing hills as alternative routes, since most main roads are severely damaged by landslides.
Proof of work for the donation will follow.

The floods have hit again!
On the same day, Wednesday, December 24, 2025, after I delivered aid from Nostr Plebs, heavy rain fell again in the afternoon across Pidie Jaya and several other regencies.
Rivers overflowed, several villages were flooded again, and homes were submerged. The suffering from the previous floods has not yet healed, and now a new disaster has struck. The rainy season shows no sign of easing.

Phase 1 Donation Spending Report & Current Cash Balance
Plebs, as a form of responsibility and transparency in managing the relief funds from all Plebs, I’m sharing screenshots of urgent items purchased for flood survivors in Teupin Raya village, Pidie Jaya, Aceh.
Quick breakdown:
Total donations collected:
15,020,267 IDR (≈ USD 894)
Total spending on supplies and urgent needs:
9,859,000 IDR (≈ USD 587)
Remaining donation balance in my personal local bank account:
(5,161,267 IDR (≈ USD 307)
The remaining donations are planned to be distributed to other villages, based on urgent needs for flood survivors in Aceh.
Donation ongoing
Meanwhile, donations in sats are still coming in (via Nostr and via @geyser).
Current total ongoing donations: 195,632 sats.
I’ve decided to continue fundraising for flood survivors until donations stop coming in, or at least until post-disaster conditions begin to recover. Donations are focused on urgent needs and long-term usable equipment.
Donations can be sent to the following

Bitcoin on-chain address:
bc1qvg3k8qaasr8c7clucmzv895p6zwfnlqpttu0ptz7au20gcslk22ste255e
This is heavy work with a big responsibility. At first, I doubted myself and lacked confidence. But after seeing firsthand how devastating the post-disaster conditions are—and how poorly the government handled this disaster—I decided to step forward with the support of close friends.
Your donations, Bitcoiners on Nostr, have also become a strong push for me to move and act as a Bitcoin volunteer for humanitarian work.
Endless thanks from the people of Aceh to all Plebs, wherever you are. 🙏🙏🙏
