The research method is descriptive qualitative and uses observation, interviews and documentation. This analysis technique uses three inductive data analysis processes: processing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results of this research show that productive management of Zakat funds in Sahabat Yatim can encourage inclusive economic growth and provide a sustainable positive impact on society. It also provides an important contribution to the practical and theoretical understanding of the role of productive zakat in empowering mustahik, especially for orphans.
