Bybit Indonesia Encourages Education Recovery Post-Flood in North Sumatra

In the aftermath of devastating floods in North Sumatra, Bybit Indonesia has stepped forward to aid in the restoration of educational facilities and ensure access to clean water for impacted communities. Joining hands with local fundraising platform Kitabisa, this initiative aims to bring recovery and stability to the lives of those affected.

The flooding, which struck parts of Sumatra in November 2025, caused significant damage to schools and infrastructure, leaving many families struggling to meet their basic needs. Bybit Indonesia, alongside Kitabisa, recognized the urgency of restoring educational facilities, as education is pivotal to community resilience. The collaboration has directly benefited two schools: Yayasan Pendidikan Rahman El-Manaf Bubun and SDN 057239 Sekoci.

Restoration of Yayasan Pendidikan Rahman El-Manaf Bubun

Located in Kabupaten Langkat, Yayasan Pendidikan Rahman El-Manaf Bubun serves a crucial role for the local community, educating about 187 students from elementary through high school. The school faced multiple challenges, including vulnerability to tidal flooding. Thanks to the support of Bybit Indonesia and Kitabisa, the school underwent much-needed renovations that included repairing floors, refurbishing classrooms, repainting walls, and equipping the school with essential apparatus such as desks and whiteboards.

The school's commitment to providing free education is vital for families in the area, many of whom rely on fishing and farming for their livelihoods. The initiative to restore the school facilities will help students return to a safe learning environment, a critical step for both students and their families in regaining a sense of normalcy.

Revamping SDN 057239 Sekoci

The initiative further extended to SDN 057239 Sekoci, which supports around 90 students and 10 teachers. Facilities at the school also required repairs following the flood, including work on flooring, ceilings, and necessary utilities. Bybit Indonesia’s contributions allowed for much-needed refurbishments, equipping the library and enhancing other learning spaces.

The impact of these restorations extends beyond just physical improvements; they represent a significant investment in the future of these communities. The collaborative efforts between Bybit Indonesia and Kitabisa give students the tools they need to excel, fostering a better learning environment.

Access to Clean Water in Aceh

Beyond education, Bybit Indonesia's commitment to recovery involved addressing the immediate needs of families for clean water. The flooding severely disrupted water supply systems leaving many communities without adequate access for drinking or daily tasks. In response, Bybit Indonesia partnered with Kitabisa to construct a borewell in Balee Panah Village, Aceh. This project, which began in July 2026, is set to benefit approximately 125 households, restoring vital access to essential resources for health and hygiene.

By investing in clean water access, Bybit Indonesia is helping to secure the fundamental needs of the community, which is critical as they work towards rebuilding their lives.

Fostering Long-term Recovery

Lawrence Samantha, CEO of Bybit Indonesia, highlighted the significance of education and community support as integral elements of their social impact strategy. “Our aim is to offer practical contributions to recovery efforts. Collaboration with local partners like Kitabisa enables us to address specific needs effectively,” he said. Bybit Indonesia’s support is directed not merely to immediate solutions but aims to make a difference in the enduring recovery efforts of the communities affected by the floods.

Through these initiatives, Bybit Indonesia is reinforcing its commitment to social responsibility, focusing on education and reliable resource access as essential steps toward long-term recovery. As they continue to explore opportunities for further community support, the changes brought about by their collaboration will resonate throughout the communities of North Sumatra.

In conclusion, Bybit Indonesia and Kitabisa’s partnership demonstrates a robust model for humanitarian aid, prioritizing education and basic needs to foster resilience in communities affected by natural disasters. The recovery journey is long, but with ongoing support, these communities can look forward to a brighter future.
