Quality Education

In 2018, we found the problems faced by some teenagers who are disabled person and orphan in Dungun, Terengganu. One of the problems faced by them is to get a job after they graduate from secondary school. In addition, they are not received with any opportunities to proceed their study at any university or other educational institution. Besides, the unemployment rate among teenagers is increasing year by year. The social problems and crime among the teenagers are increasing too. These crimes happened because of unemployment teenagers who need the money to survive. We come out with our solution, Solatku Project. The reasons why we choose this project is mainly because the mini prayer mats are high demand in the market. With this project, the disabled and orphan teenagers can be able to be independent. Besides, they will get the opportunity to be in the industry. Thus, by achieving a particular award in the industry they can be not only idols but examples to others.

Section I

This project aims to create future entrepreneurs that inspire others to involve the business industry. Basically, it helps to reduce unemployment rate for the target community, who single mothers and orphans.

We have a lot of ways to raised funds that contribute to this project. To run this project, ENACTUS has helped us to get relevant information about the target community and the resources needed to produce the prayer mat.

While running this project, we faced challenges dealing with the chosen supplier. It began when we hardly bargain the best price for good quality materials. Another challenge was the time constraints to complete this project. Since all of the participants are students, we had to balance our time between our study and running this project. Challenge also came from the target community as their number is limited to produce numbers of prayer mat. Luckily, we managed to overcome this problem.

We had good strategic planning from the beginning until the end of this project. We divided our tasks into small groups and into several phases. To ensure the work goes well according schedule, we often monitor the work progress and visit the target community. These were done consistently.

There were two target communities that benefitted from this project which were single mothers and orphans. We chose them because we wanted to improve their lives through entrepreneurial action. This project allowed them to possess good skills in sewing and learn how to earn their own income. This project mainly was run by 34 members of Enactus UiTM Terengganu, specifically managed by 6 person who are Muhammad Luqman Haqim, Muhammad Ikhmal, Mohamed Ajwad, Abdul Jabbar Hudd, Harriz Hazziq and also Muhammad Aiman.

For the long-term impact, this project can reduce the unemployment rate among the target community. They are capable to learn soft skills that could help them to start their own business. This could help to improve their standard of living. To sustain this project, we plan to make an official contract with them. We will also organize a site visit twice a month to monitor and help them, keeping in touch with them even after the contract ended, setting them a certain amount of output that they need to produce monthly.

Section II

Our project can contribute to bright and happiness in long term because it can improve the social skills of our target community so that they can be more independent. Besides, they will get an opportunity to work in related industry because they already possessed sewing skills which can be used to generate income that can improve their lives.

This project has changed our perspective towards the world around. We believed that good intention leads to good behavior. Our small effort and contribution may give big impact and change our target community future life.

“SENDING SPARKS IN EVERY SUJUD”. We feel happy as we could helped them to be successful entrepreneurs. We believe helping the people in need is a good deeds. Pray and we will never be left astray, being close to God brings fortune towards our objective. With the prayer mat been produced, we do not just instill entrepreneurial skills but we infuse them with the spiritual quality of being piety towards God.
