of collaboration to revive the community’s economy.

MSMEs also gave presentations about the progress and development of their
respective businesses. “Alhamdulillah, there has been significant progress in
the MSMEs that we support, especially with their mindset of continuing to learn
and manage their business and overcome their fear of selling their innovative
products. In addition, the feeling of always wanting to help others and desire
to contribute to the community through the proceeds of their businesses is
getting stronger," said Rushan Novaly from the Productive Capital Waqf
Team.
This event is the conclusion of Global Wakaf – ACT and ZIS Rohis Lintasarta’s collaboration in supporting MSMEs that began in September 2021. Rushan hoped the training sessions will better prepare the businesses so that they can flourish.

“We know that
providing business capital without coaching and training will only lead to a
short-term effect. With assistance and training that last for 1 to 2 years, the
MSMEs’ we can form the MSMEs’ mindset and characters so that they can jointly
build the economy of the community, Insha Allah," said Rushan.
ZIS Rohis
Lintasarta appreciated this program after seeing for themselves the impact of
both the mentoring and business training on the beneficiaries.
"We trust Global
Wakaf-ACT, and, Alhamdulillah, there have been many positive outcomes especially
for the beneficiaries. We also hope that although our collaborative program has
concluded, there will still be regular programs at Global Wakaf-ACT that can
encourage MSMEs to continue to rise," hoped Adit from Lintasarta’s Zakat Empowerment
team.
The assistance
from ZIS Rohis Lintasarta and Global Wakaf – ACT has had a positive impact on
Suhadi, one of the beneficiaries who sells meatball soup. He initially only
sold regular meatball soups, but now he adds other variants of meatballs with
different fillings, from egg, tofu, to bird’s eye chili. He also began selling
the meatballs online.
“I have been
thinking of adding shaved ice on the menu and opening other kinds of business.
To support my business spiritually, I have been trying to be steadfast in
donating the first bowl of my meatball soup for free every day,” he said. []
