Most NGOs simply used the list of disaster victims in need of aid provided by the Indonesian government's Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency. But Tzu Chi was concerned that Indonesia's endemic "gift" culture might result in units ending up in the hands of people who didn't truly need them. It therefore used a much more time-consuming and unpopular method-it screened the list itself.
一般 NGO 救援的災民名單，都是由印尼中央政府主導的重建機構 BRR（亞齊與尼亞斯恢復重建委員會）提供，但慈濟基於印尼紅包文化盛行，為避免房子落入「假災民」手上，選擇了吃力不討好的方式──自行過濾名單。
