Makassar, S Sulawesi (ANTARA) - The global humanitarian institute Aksi Cepat Tanggap (Quick Response Action/ACT) of the South Sulawesi provincial chapter has devised various ways to raise funds for Uighur Muslims including selling antique T-shirts. "The donation continues to pour in but we want to maximize fund raising activities by selling these T-shirts, among others," spokesman for the marketing communication of the ACT chapter Mustafa Mathar said Wednesday.

He mentioned various ways they could market these T-shirts through social media including Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.

Proceeds from the sale of T-shirts will be combined with donations to meet the needs of Uighur Muslims, he said.

ACT last dispatched aid to Uighur Muslims on December 22, 2019. The aid included fuel for the community in Kaysen, Turkey to face the winter, he said.

"We will send aid as quickly as possible after contributions from donors and proceeds from the sale of these T-shirts are enough," he added.

The ACT has so far carried out various humanitarian projects to support the community, Member of the ACT board of patrons, Syuhelmaidi Syukur said. Since 2017, ACT has assisted them in Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan.

"In the humanitarian context, we help orphans of the Uighur Muslim diaspora community anywhere as a manifestation of our care and support," he said.
