SHAH ALAM, Jan 11 — A total of 1,476 women entrepreneurs in Selangor have benefitted from the Niaga Darul Ehsan Scheme (NaDI), as of now.
The figure, which was recorded since February last year, involved an allocation amounting to RM6.07 million, with each of the entrepreneurs receiving between RM1,000 to RM5,000 of funds.
Yayasan Hijrah Selangor (Hijrah) on Facebook said RM10 million has been set aside to help the Selangor citizens who were financially affected due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The scheme is open to those who want to start their small business by providing them with a simple, fast and unburdening business rolling capital,” it said.
Open to all women regardless of race, interested individuals could submit the application via www.hijrahselangor.com website or contact the fund officer at 20 Hijrah Selangor’s branch throughout the state.
On August 27 last year, Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said a total of 970 entrepreneurs have benefitted from NaDI as of July 26, 2021.
He said the effort to empower women entrepreneurs during the Covid-19 pandemic has involved a financial cost of RM3.945 million.
