ACTNews, LANGSA
– On Thursday (10/14/2021), Global Wakaf - Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) Langsa
launched Waqf for MSMEs that aims to overcome the impact of the pandemic on
small businesses. The launch of this program was attended by representatives of
the Langsa regional government, ACT Langsa, and the beneficiaries who received business
assistance.
Waqf for MSMEs is
a business capital assistance program for small and micro businesses funded by
waqf donated by the community managed by Global Wakaf – ACT. The beneficiaries
will receive business capital assistance without having to pay any interest.
The Waqf for MSMEs
program was warmly welcomed by the local government. The Deputy Mayor of
Langsa, Marzuki Hamid, hoped that ACT Langsa can garner even greater philanthropic
awareness in Langsa as the benefit will return to the community in the form of
assistance or economic stimuli.
ACT Langsa Branch
Manager Ryanda Saputra explained that the Waqf for MSMEs and other programs
that ACT initiated cannot be separated from the community’s contribution
because the collected donations in the form of zakat, waqf, and voluntary
donations will result in more acts of kindness.
“The Waqf for
MSMEs program does not only provide business capital but also mentoring. So
far, it has benefitted the community because the program does not only support
the economy but also the spirit of generosity,” explained Randa.
At the launch of
Waqf for MSMEs, ACT Langsa also handed over assistance to local Muslim
preachers in Langsa. []
