Because with good economic empowerment management, the targeted community will be productive and able to manage existing resources. One of the instruments that is considered to have an effect on the economic progress of small communities is the presence of the Micro Waqf Bank, which is a Micro Finance Institution that was born to develop small business empowerment and has a focus on expanding the Islamic economic brand while minimizing loan sharks or in the language of the term is leaving usury. And always put the people's economy first. The existence of the Micro Waqf Bank is believed to be able to increase the financial inclusion of the community, especially for Small and Micro Business actors (SMEs), which of course can be guaranteed ease in capital or financing matters for people who have not been able to reach from formal financial institutions, especially in Islamic boarding schools.
