BOGOR – The Budi Bakti College of Management Sciences (STIM), which the Dompet Dhuafa Republika Foundation (YDDR) manages, held The Gratefulness of The 21st Anniversary in the Zona Madina area, Parung, Bogor, on Friday (6/1/2022). This event, which carries the theme “Virtuous and Devoted to the Country”, was held as an expression of gratitude for the anniversary and the completion of the construction of a new campus in the Madina Zone Area of Dompet Dhuafa.
On this occasion, the Chairperson of the STIM Budi Bakti Foundation, Rina Fatimah, also expressed her gratitude because, at the age of 21, STIM Budi Bakti still stands strong and continues to strive to educate the nation’s children, especially the low-income (duafa) people.
According to Rina, there are three things that all layers of STIM Budi Bakti need to be grateful for at the age of 21, namely the new campus building, the number of students and the increasing quality, and STIM Budi Bakti, which is now a pilot model of productive-based waqf universities for other institutions.

“So, the first one, our gratitude has a new home, the second is that our gratitude has increased, both in the number of students and also along with the improvement of the quality of our services, then the third is our gratitude for gaining trust for being part of the portfolio (Dompet Dhuafa) or a productive waqf-based higher education management model,” said Rina in her speech.
