TEMPO Interactive, YogyakartaThe Zakat (Alms) Management Organization Association and the Yogyakarta Regional Zakat Forum will hold the World Zakat Forum in Yogyakarta from September 28 to October 2. The forum will be attended by representatives from international alms institutions from countries like Malaysia, Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, England, Bahrain, Jordan, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.
"The forum will be officially opened by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono," said April Purwanto, the World Zakat Forum executive, yesterday.
The event, in which 200 people will participate, is to take place at Inna Garuda Hotel on Malioboro Street, Yogyakarta. Representatives from Indonesia include the Dompet Duafa, Keadilan Peduli Umat (Concerned People for Justice) Post, Zakat Home, and the National Alms Agency.
According to April, the participants will discuss efforts to eradicate poverty through people empowerment programs, utilizing funds from alms. So far, he said, the programs from zakat institutions do not immediately solve poverty issues.
“Another problem is the mentality of the alms beneficiaries. After they receive the donations, the money is immediately spent. That is why we are trying to empower and strengthen the economy through an assistance and guidance program,” April concluded.
