Abstract
This article outlines how communities in remote areas of Kahayya Village continue to face structural barriers to economic development, including geographical isolation, limited access to capital, weak market connectivity, inadequate infrastructure, and low managerial capacity. The study examines how productive *zakat* (almsgiving) can contribute to the empowerment and economic resilience of remote communities through the *Rumah Zakat* program in Kahayya Village, Kindang District, Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study investigates the potential of the local economic sector, the mechanisms of productive *zakat* intervention, the role of field facilitators, and factors influencing program sustainability. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving *Rumah Zakat* facilitators, community self-help groups, community leaders, and beneficiary households. Findings indicate that the program operates via an integrated model combining the provision of productive capital, post-harvest technology, managerial training, financial literacy, market facilitation, social group strengthening, and continuous mentoring. Coffee processing emerged as the primary economic pathway, with beneficiaries reporting significant increases in monthly income following product standardization and value-added processing. The program also diversified household income through ecotourism, livestock farming, and processed coffee products. The study identifies field-based mentoring, social capital, institutional transparency, and the utilization of local resources as key supporting factors, while poor road infrastructure, unstable telecommunications, and market access constraints remain significant challenges. This study contributes to the literature by situating productive *zakat* within the context of geographically isolated coffee-producing communities and demonstrating how philanthropy can function not merely as income support, but as an instrument for building local economic resilience.
