Empowering Migrant Workers Through Vision and Mission Setting: A Path to Independence

Abstract

Waqf is a vital financial instrument in Islamic economics that has long supported educational institutions. The program employed a combination of lectures, interactive discussions, and case study simulations. A total of 30 participants, including teachers and school administrators, attended the session. The program covered fundamental concepts of educational waqf, its benefits, and strategic implementation methods. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants' knowledge of waqf as a sustainable financing model for education. Participants expressed interest in establishing a School Waqf Unit to ensure systematic and transparent waqf management. The outreach program successfully raised awareness about the importance of educational waqf. To ensure long-term sustainability, further capacity-building initiatives, structured waqf governance, and strategic partnerships with waqf organizations are recommended. Future efforts should focus on training school administrators in waqf financial management and exploring digital waqf platforms to enhance accessibility and transparency.
