Founded in 2008, MWT is dedicated to promoting an Islamic lifestyle through education, charity, and positive reinforcement. ILM Fund shares a commitment to accessible quality education, focusing on providing financial support to students in need. Meanwhile, SDI encourages UMT students to embrace social responsibility through community involvement and volunteer initiatives. This collaboration brings together three organizations united by a common mission: to uplift students through educational support, social entrepreneurship, and moral development.

The partnership aims to provide a variety of programs, including educational sessions, moral development talks, and workshops on social entrepreneurship. Additionally, placement and internship opportunities will be arranged to enhance career prospects for students at UMT. Community service initiatives will further cultivate a sense of responsibility and give students practical ways to contribute to society.

In addition to signing the MOU, the guests participated in a Financial Assistance Loan Committee Meeting to evaluate students’ financial situations and academic accomplishments. These interviews are essential to ensure that scholarships and financial aid reach students who genuinely need assistance in overcoming financial challenges to pursue their education.

Through this partnership, MWT, ILM Fund, and SDI hope to transform the lives of young students, alleviating poverty and promoting education as a tool for long-term empowerment and social change.
