Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are one of the business sectors that have been badly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on OJK data, as many as 84.20 percent of MSMEs must experience a decrease in income.

The obstacle faced by MSMEs are financial problems, namely related to employee payments and operational costs. In fact, MSMEs play an important role in the Indonesian economy in which the contribution of MSMEs to GDP is up to 60.51 percent. In commemoration of the 7th Anniversary of Health Clinic in Rorotan, North Jakarta, PTTEP together with Dompet Dhuafa invites MSME sector actors to rise up, be empowered, and fight again in knitting hope while still moving in the midst of limitations.
