BOGOR, WEST JAVA — Entering the age of four decades, Dompet Dhuafa has learned a lot about serving and empowering the weak. Various efforts in the form of ideas and program innovation ideas are carefully crafted in order to alleviate people from poverty. One of the important pillars of this effort is to present an education program. As one of the five pillars, this program has succeeded in raising the dignity of the mustahik, not even a few who later transformed into muzakki.
On the eve of Dompet Dhuafa’s 31st birthday, two Dompet Dhuafa institutions of higher learning were recognized for their work over the years. Through the decision of the Director of the Executive Board of the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education, Budi Bakti College of Management officially received good accreditation. The decision was recorded with number 441/SK/BAN-PT/PEPA-Ppj/PT/IV/2024. This PT accreditation rating is valid for five years since it was decided, namely on April 16, 2024 to April 16, 2029.
“We would like to thank Dompet Dhuafa, the Budi Bakti Campus academic community, namely lecturers, education staff and students as well as all parties who have supported the Budi Bakti Campus,” said Rina Fatimah as Chairperson of the STIM Budi Bakti Dompet Dhuafa Campus.
In addition, the Umar Usman Business Campus was honored as the Third Best UMKM Assistance Institution. This title was given at the Bina UMKM Award 2024 activity organized by the CFCD Foundation – Ministry of Industry – Ministry of Cooperatives and UKM RI, in South Jakarta, on Saturday (29/06/2024).
So far, MSMEs have become the backbone of the economy in Indonesia by contributing to 61.07% of Indonesia’s GDP and absorbing 97% of the workforce in Indonesia. For this reason, MSMEs need to continue to be assisted to survive and grow.
“The award received is a spirit and motivation for the Umar Usman Business Campus to assist and empower MSME players and entrepreneurs in Indonesia with various approaches, of course by continuing to collaborate with various parties in Indonesia,” said Asep Hendriana as Chairman of the Management of the Dompet Dhuafa Education Program Management Partner.
