ABSTRACT

This research explores the community empowerment model implemented by Rumah Zakat through the DesaBerdaya program to reduce poverty and social issues in Indonesia. The program uses an integrated approach encompassing economic, educational, health, environmental, and disaster mitigation sectors, aiming to improve the quality of human resources through local empowerment. The program also supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in poverty alleviation, good health, quality education, and access to clean water and sanitation. The research findings indicate positive systemic changes in various villages that have received interventions from this program, both in social and economic aspects. Significant improvements in community welfare have been observed, with the program running sustainably at the local level. The program successfully empowered communities to become self-reliant and created long-term impacts on village development in Indonesia.
