Six cyclists have completed a gruelling journey from London to Amsterdam to raise funds for disadvantaged children and orphans in Indonesia. Organised by the Human Aid Initiative under the “Ride for Indonesia” (RFI) programme, the event aimed to support the organisation’s flagship “Sponsor a Child” campaign.
The Human Aid Initiative, a UK-based humanitarian organisation established in 2017, focuses on alleviating poverty and empowering local communities worldwide. Through the “Sponsor a Child” program, donors contribute £30 monthly to fund education and healthcare for children in financially challenged communities across Indonesia.
The RFI program has long been a platform for Indonesian expatriates and cycling enthusiasts across the UK to combine their passion for cycling with meaningful fundraising efforts. Over the years, RFI participants have cycled to prominent destinations such as Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, and Whitstable, raising hundreds of millions of Indonesian Rupiah for charitable causes.
Six cyclists —Ferdi Endinanda, Pluto Gasanova, Muhammad Y. Helmy, L. Wahyuhansudi, Eastman Rivai, and Dimas Ferdiansyah— embarked on the cross-European journey. Starting in London, the group cycled through France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, culminating their ride at the Indonesian Embassy in The Hague and finally Amsterdam.
The funds raised will support children and orphans in Indonesia, providing them with essential resources to improve their education and well-being. Human Aid Initiative expressed gratitude to the cyclists, donors, and sponsors who contributed to the event’s success.
