Ananto Isworo - Inisiator Shadaqah Sampah Berbasis Eco-Masjid

Ananto Isworo, recipient of the National Kalpataru Award in the Environmental Pioneer category from the Ministry of Environment, successfully transformed waste often considered worthless into a source of value through the Sedekah Sampah (Trash Alms) Movement. Starting from a simple invitation to donate trash, this movement has helped dozens of children continue their education, provided assistance to the poor, and supported healthcare services for those in need. The impact has been widespread, from humanitarian aid to Palestine to providing dozens of clean water tankers for residents affected by drought in Gunungkidul. His story proves that behind every discarded piece of trash lies enormous potential to empower, help others, and bring about change for the environment and human life.
