work practice should become more involved in promoting voluntary
and zakat giving because social work must advocate for the
enhancement of living conditions of the poor and the destitute

role in collaborating with zakat institutions to help the poor and
other vulnerable populations. Indonesian social workers may
develop best practices for the zakat system when they become aware

Rumah Zakat has made the utilization of zakat in the form of
empowerment, i.e Senyum Juara (education), Senyum Sehat
(health) Senyum Mandiri (economic empowerment) and Senyum
Lestari (environment)
