The program, which began in 2021, is not only a social activity, but a concrete manifestation of community solidarity as well as a populist economy. Until 2024, there were 38 couples of underprivileged families who were successfully facilitated to marry religiously and the state without charging with costs.

There should be no children who do not get married just because they are hampered by costs,” Bam -Sweet said in his statement on Sunday (9/21/2025). “This program is a commitment to bring happiness as well as legal certainty for those in need,” he continued. Bam -seed explained that the mass marriage event was also compiled with a bazaar and an exhibition of micro, small and medium businesses (MSMEs). Dozens of MSMEs participated in showing their excellent products. From regional specialties, local fashion, to creative crafts, are all clear evidence that Indonesian MSMEs are the backbone of the economy that can survive even in the midst of world pressure. Data from the Indonesian Ministry of UMKM in 2024 noted that MSMEs contributed more than 61% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Indonesia and recorded about 97% of national workers. “The combination of social activities with economic empowerment is the right strategy amid global challenges. The happiness of the bride and groom of the underprivileged family and business opportunities for MSMEs can go hand in hand,” said the 20th Speaker of the Indonesian Parliament. “This is proof that the spirit of mutual cooperation is still alive and is able to offer broad benefits,” he continued. Bam -Seet emphasized that support for MSMEs should continue to strengthen, especially in the midst of global challenges that are full of uncertainty. The government is also aimed at the contribution of MSMEs in national exports to take from 14.4% in 2023 to 21% in 2025. It is believed that activities such as this real encouragement can provide the target. “In the future, Alumni Earth Associations are committed to engaging more young MSMEs and digital-based. Hopefully local products are not only a pride in their own country, but he can also compete in the global arena,” Bamsoet said.
