– Mulyani finally breathed a sigh of relief. On Friday (9/10/2021), Global
Wakaf-ACT and Masyarakat Relawan Indonesia volunteers handed over a cart to
support her business that has been direly impacted by the pandemic.
Mamuy previously
rented a place to sell fried and roasted chicken. Unfortunately, the pandemic
has caused her income to decrease. She could no longer pay the rent. Hence, she
moved her business to her rented house. Sadly, there were not many customers
because her house’s location isn’t suitable for selling.
“There are not
many buyers because my house is located in a small, quiet alley. At times I can’t
sell a piece. I can’t peddle my chicken," said Mamuy.
Unluckily, Mulyani’s
husband has also been laid off from his workplace. He now fishes in Situ Gede,
which is 3 kilometers from where they live. With their livelihood declining, it’s
difficult to support their child’s therapy for cerebral palsy.
With the new cart,
Global Wakaf - ACT hopes that Mamuy and his family can improve their economy.
In addition, Global Wakaf – ACT also granted business capital. Bubulak Village Head
Muhidin, who symbolically handed over the assistance from Global Wakaf-ACT, expressed
his gratitude for the support for Mlyani.
"May Allah
bless Global Wakaf – ACT so that they can continue supporting MSMEs, especially
in Bogor to rise," said Muhidin. []
