REGENCY – Nurlina (39)’s grocery shop has only been running for a year. It
is located in Dungkait Village, West Tapalang District, Mamuju Regency, West
Sulawesi. The shop sells grocery items and snacks for people in her neighborhood.
Nurlina's only
obstacle in running her business is the difficult access to the market where
she buys goods to sell. Most of the road is damaged. Hence, shopping for goods
is an arduous journey for her.
“I shop for goods
only twice a week. That is also if the weather is good. If the weather is bad, I
will have to wait," said Nurlina when met on Thursday (1/13/2022).
Recently, Nurlina
has not been able to do her activities optimally because she has had an
accident. When trimming the branches of a mango tree near her home and stall, she
was electrocuted. Luckily, she survived and the accident never weakens her
enthusiasm.
On that day,
Global Wakaf-ACT provided business capital assistance for Nurlina through the Waqf
for MSMEs program that, hopefully, will help her shop grow. []
