When Zakat Becomes the Seed Capital of Hope for Small Businesses in Solo

August 22, 2025 | By Mansur

SOLO – “Alhamdulillah, thank you to all the donors and zakat contributors (muzaki) of DT Peduli. With your support, we can return to our business,” said Reni, her eyes glowing with gratitude.

Sukirman, a street vendor, echoed her joy: “Matur suwun sanget kagem DT Peduli Solo for the business capital support. May endless blessings be granted to all DT Peduli donors and zakat givers,” he expressed in Javanese with heartfelt thanks.

These sincere words from beneficiaries are living proof that zakat and donations entrusted through DT Peduli truly reach those in need. More than just financial assistance, this support becomes new energy that empowers them to stand on their own feet through their small businesses.

On Friday (22 August 2025), the DT Peduli Solo program team distributed business capital assistance to micro and small entrepreneurs around its service office and in several underprivileged urban areas of Surakarta. The beneficiaries run a wide range of businesses, from traditional herbal drink sellers and street food vendors to snack sellers, nasi pecel stalls, and other small traders.

This program was born out of the belief that economic independence can grow from small-scale enterprises when nurtured and empowered. With the capital provided, the beneficiaries now have the opportunity to improve their families’ livelihoods while also contributing to their communities.

DT Peduli Solo continues to be a trusted channel for muzaki to distribute their zakat. The zakat funds collected are then transformed into empowerment programs for small businesses, making a tangible impact in reducing poverty across Greater Solo.

Looking ahead, DT Peduli hopes more people will join and support this initiative. Every rupiah of capital provided is not just a number—it is a new hope for a better future.
