. RZ bersama dengan Mandiri Daya Insani (MDI) bersinergi untuk meningkatkan taraf hidup masyarakat Indonesia melalui program-progeram pemberdayaannya. Dalam kesempatan ini, RZ dan MDI kembali melakukan penjaringan member binaan baru.
Kini penjaringan member binaan baru dilakukan diantara para produsen bata merah yang terlupakan. Mereka belum pernah mendapat bantuan apapun dari pemerintah. Hidup mereka kerap kali dibayangi hutang, bukan karena barang tidak laku namun butuh waktu yang cukup lama untuk penjualan bata, sebab bata baru bisa dijual jika sudah berjumlah 10.000 bata, sedangkan perut tetap harus makan.
Setiap hari pada tahun 2014 anak-anak putus sekolah di kampung ini, namun berkat beasiswa RZ dari Tim Funding Prabumulih mereka bisa sekolah kembali.
Orang tuanya rutin mengaji setiap pekan di liqo pekanan RZ meskipun belum menjadi member mandiri ekonomi RZ.
Dari yang jarang sholat kini sudah mulai rutin sholat. Dari yang tidak bisa mengaji sekarang bisa mengaji mesti terbata-bata dan komitmen tahun ini mesti full puasa Ramadhan.
Pada hari Selasa (12/04) kemarin fasilitator RZ mengunjungi para produsen bata merah tersebut.
“Insya Allah mudah-mudahan bantuan ekonomi dari RZ mengalir tahun ini ke mereka. Satu member butuh dana lebih kurang Rp 1,7 juta untuk membeli tanah merah 4 truk, kayu bakar 1 truk dan solar. Dengan bantuan ini, minimal mereka bisa membuat 14.000 bata merah, yang jika dirupiahkan menjadi Rp 5,6 juta,” ungkap Desti Fajarini, perwakilan Mandiri Daya Insani (MDI).
“Untuk pemasaran pun insya Allah sudah ada channel dan yang terpenting tidak mesti lagi berhutang dengan sebagian modal membuat bata, sebab jika berhutang mereka hanya bisa memperoleh uang dari penjualan 14.000 bata itu hanya Rp 1.120.000, selisihnya mencapai 2,7 juta,” tambah Desti.***

PalembangPALEMBANG. RZ together with Mandiri daya Insani (MDI) work together in improving Indonesian’s quality of life through empowerment program, on this occasion, RZ and MDI conducted a selection for new assisted member.
Now, the selction of new member conducted between forgotten redbrick manufacturers. They have never received any assistance from the government. Their lives are often overshadowed by debt, not because the products were not sold but it takes a long time to sale the bricks, because the bricks can only be sold if it amounts to 10,000 bricks, while they still need to earn a living.
In 2014 almost every day the children in this village drop out from school, but thanks to a RZ scholarship from Prabumulih Funding Team they can go back to school.
The parents regularly join mentoring every week in RZ weekely mentoring though they are not a member of RZ independent economy.
From praying infrequently now they start to pray frequently. Those who cannot read al-Quran now they can read it although they read it with stammer haltingly and they have a commitment to perform fasting fully in this Ramadan.
On Tuesday (04/12), RZ facilitator visited the red brick manufacturer.
“Insya Allah, hopefully RZ economic assistance can be distributed to them this year. The members need to fund approximately 1.700.000 Rupiah to buy 4 trucks red soil, 1 truck firewood and diesel. With this aid, at least they could make 14,000 red brick, which if converted to 5.600.000 Rupiah “said Dusti Fajarini, representatives of Mandiri Daya Insani (MDI).
” insya Allah, we has channel to market the brick, and most importantly, not necessarily longer to take a loan for the production, because if they take a loan, they only can get 1.120.000 from 14.000 brick, the difference reached 2.700. 000 rupiah” added Desti. ***
