Muhammadiyah prepares 300 homes for teachers, nurses, workers

The Muhammadiyah Central Board is preparing to build 300 homes for teachers, nurses and employees of Amal Usaha Muhammadiyah under a housing program called RumahMu. PP Muhammadiyah chairman Muhadjir Effendy said the project is being prepared for school and hospital workers who still need housing. He said the main obstacle to home ownership among AUM employees is limited income, especially for lower-wage workers. For that reason, Muhammadiyah is working with Lazismu to design a financing subsidy scheme, including installment assistance so monthly payments are not too burdensome. The program is described as part of efforts to strengthen worker welfare within the organization, alongside education and health services.
