Lowokwaru, (malangkota.go.id) – It turns out that it is not only the Malang City Government (Pemkot) that focuses on empowering micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Malang City. However, a number of foundations and communities are also moved to empower the existence of MSMEs.
As was done by the National Zakat Collection Institution Baitul Maal Hidayatullah (BMH) Malang Branch, which held training for 33 MSME actors in RW 10, Tulusrejo Village, Malang City, Wednesday (16/2/2022).
The committee of the event from BMH Malang Agus Wahyudi said that the training for MSMEs together with the Kertanegara College of Economics (STIE) and Istana Ikan was a real manifestation of economic empowerment. Where during this pandemic, the economy of many residents has experienced a decline so that real breakthroughs are needed.
"We hope that this activity can raise the spirit of residents and MSME actors to remain creative and independent in the midst of the pandemic," explained Agus.
Agus added that this activity was filled with various materials, starting from cooking classes on making catfish nuggets, catfish cultivation using the biofloc system, and digital marketing to help MSMEs.
This activity was attended by residents from RW 9 and RW 10, Tulusrejo Village, students from STIE Kertanegara Malang, and UMKM actors. Through this event, it is hoped that it can increase the insight and skills of the community in developing the businesses of each UMKM actor.
"The support from academics and business people is expected to increase the enthusiasm of the participants. Hopefully this activity can be carried out continuously," he concluded. (cah/ram)
