UPZ on Campus
What is UPZ Campus?
UPZ stands for Unit Pengumpul Zakat (Zakat Collection Unit), while the term "Campus" indicates that the zakat collection environment involves the academic community within a specific university, in collaboration with the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) at the national, provincial, or district/city level.
