PEKANBARU. (25/10) Rumah Zakat memiliki 2 Desa Berdaya di Pekanbaru, yaitu Desa Simpang Tiga yang fokus di bidang kesehatan dan Desa Okura yang fokus di bidang Ekonomi.
Ada 35 member binaan yang mendapat bantuan usaha di Okura. Lokasi Okura yang sulit dijangkau karena berada di daerah perkebunan kelapa sawit membuat tingkat perekonomian warganya termasuk yang paling rendah di Pekanbaru.
“Sebagian besar warga Okura berprofesi sebagai buruh serabutan yang penghasilannya kecil dan tak menentu. Oleh sebab itu, sejak tahun 2013, kami menggulirkan program ekonomi di sana,” jelas Aperta Rajif Mahendra, Fasilitator Desa Berdaya Rumah Zakat untuk Okura.
Kini geliat ekonomi di Okura semakin terlihat. Beberapa member binaan Rumah Zakat mulai merasakan peningkatan di bidang ekonomi, salah satunya Pak Tarto yang omzet baksonya kini telah mencapai Rp700.000-Rp1.000.000 per hari.
