LAMPUNG – Dompet Dhuafa distributed zakat funds donated by PT. SAN Putra Sejahtera to 15 MSME beneficiaries at the Lintas Sumatera Rest Area, Imaduddin Mosque, Way Kerap Village, Tanggamus, on Friday (4/7/2025). The zakat funds were distributed in the form of an economic program called “Food Court Nusa Daya” by Indonesia Berdaya, a branch of Dompet Dhuafa Lampung.
