Straits International School (part of ISP - International Schools Partnership) is an international school based in Pilau Penang. As a school that serves a small island community, we have a team of staff and students who are dedicated to raising money for our four chosen local charities. These include: Seri Cahaya Welfare Home, Ms Ranji's Nursing Home, St Nicholas' Home for the Blind and the SPCA Penang. Throughout every academic year we hold several events that enable us to raise awareness and funds for these charities, as well as provide an opportunity for our students to visit these charities in order to provide a service for the local community. The purpose of this page will be to raise money for each of the charities named above through various events throughout the academic year.
Let me introduce myself, I am Agus Tabik, 45 years old, working as a self-employed person. I currently have a 16 year old daughter who is sick with leaking kidneys, for more than 1 year. Her joys, happiness disappeared because of the pain he experienced. Her schooling stopped for almost 1 year. Our parents have tried our best, by taking her to the hospital for treatment, but her illness requires very serious treatment because it is quite a serious illness. Currently we cannot work optimally because we have to always accompany our daughter. I experienced financial difficulties because I had to pay quite a lot of money for our daughter's health care. I ask for help from everyone who can help by donating some of what they have. I really appreciate every donation given and hope it can help me in these difficult times. Your helping hand may not be able to wipe away the tears and sadness experienced. However, a few of you will go a long way to lighten our burden. Whatever value you transfer to our account will be very meaningful. Thank you, may God bless and reward you all for your kindness.
Rumah Keluarga Kami (RKK) is a project of the Conference of the Holy Family, Kajang, Society of St. Vincent De Paul. Rkk a home for underprivileged, abandoned, abused and marginalised children. Its doors opened on 1st June 1990. It started its operations from a rented 2 storey corner residential house.In 1995, the Conference acquitted a single storey bungalow which could accommodate about 25 children. With the growing number of children seeking admission, the Conference rented another semidetached Single storey house adjacent to the existing premises which became the boys wing, and could accommodate about 15 boys.In 2008 the Conference acquired a piece of land situated at the rear of the girls wing bungalow at a cost of RM300,000.00. In 2013, the Conference embarked on the construction of a new three storey a new building at a cost of RM1.100M. This new building can accommodate 60 children and has a floor each for boys and girls with respective house mothers live-in.The construction cost of the new home with its internal fixer and fittings were funded by the spontaneous generosity of Malaysians, the State Government of Selangor, the Malaysian and Japanese Governments, Vincentians from Malaysia & Singapore, Corporate Malaysia, Parishioners of the Holy Family Kajang and friends of the Society.RKK currently employs an Administrator and an Assistant, three live-in House Mothers, a Handy Man cum Driver and a part-time cook to administer to the daily needs of the children which includes ensuring their attendance at kindergartens and scheduled schools. RKK's audited operating expenditure for the year ended 31st December, 2018 was RM462,652.00. It is gratifying to note that RKK has always provided a safe and secure environment for several hundreds of children who have passed through our doors. Many have gone on to acquire tertiary and vocational qualifications. The milestones that the children of RKK have achieved have certainly impacted our own personal lives and experiences as Vincentians.The financial sustainability of RKK and the welfare of the children have been the primary concerns of the Conference. In the absence of fixed recurring income, RKK is largely depended on periodic fund raising initiatives, annual government grants, donations cash in and kind educational sponsorship and sponsored meals.There is so much more that needs to be accomplished and together as a community of people and regardless of what faith we profess we can surely make that difference-a Better Tomorrow for the children in RKK.
Imagine you can restore someone's vision and transform their life! US$ 100 can achieve just that!We are fundraising to cover expenses for 3 medical missions in Manila and San Jose from September 18th to December 3rd. During this time it is expected that, in line with previous missions, these interventions will end or alleviate over 2,000 visual impairment disabilities. We work with local partners, doctors, opticians, nurses, and other volunteers to provide free eye tests, cataracts/glaucoma operations, and glasses (bifocal, special and reading) to underprivileged children and adults in Philippines’ poorest areas.All funds raised go to cover medical materials, including medicines, and glasses. US$100 pays for a cataract operation, US$ 2 for a pair of reading glasses, ~US$ 15 for bifocal pair of glasses (frame and lenses) and ~US$ 22 for special prescription pair of glasses. All people involved, including the doctors, are volunteers and pay for their own expenses.Visual impairment has been linked to socioeconomic factors of health in general and poverty in particular (over 90% of blind people live in developing countries of Asia and Africa). In the Philippines, visual impairment is the most prevalent disability. Visual disability may lead to poverty due to the loss of earning power, but poverty itself aggravates the disability by limiting access to hygienic environments and healthcare services. Cataract and uncorrected refractive error together cause 55% of the blindness and 77% of the vision impairment in people. People with restored vision can return to study, work, and a healthy lifestyle. Their lives and the lives of their families can be instantly transformed for the best!We leverage our networks to buy materials directly from factories. In addition, our entrepreneur friends donate some materials and resources. Other people volunteer picking up patients from their houses, driving them to the medical center, providing meals and accommodation to those undergoing operations for up to 48h (to guarantee hygienic conditions during initial healing). Our CIS school team, besides starting a fundraising initiative, is helping with organisation, sourcing, administrative tasks during the missions, distributing meals, and chaperoning.If you are aware of other communities that could benefit from these medical missions, please get in touch. We have built know-how and infrastructure. Thank you!

Hello, I am Sya and I've been struggling with my university life for months now. I am having difficulties paying my rent, bills, debt and purchasing my daily essentials. I do not have any Education Scholarships at all or any outside financial help/sponsorships to financially fund my studies and student life. I do not have my license due to financial strains and I cannot get a job as I am a Full-Time Student. I spent weeks of not eating and only eating instant noodles and I feel a huge sense of guilt when I need to ask my parents for more. So, here I am seeking help from other people and kind-hearted, generous strangers. Because I only have a small amount of money to get by, I cannot fulfill my lifelong dream of purchasing things that I can only dream of having and funding myself for my studies. I just hope this can help me and I don't have to resort to other methods. Thank you for reading my story
I am a 63 years old widow. I lost my husband due to cancer last October, 2022. Due to his illness, we have used up all our savings. I am selling cakes and cookies to sustain my daily lives which are not enough to pay bills, food and medication. At the moment, I am renting a house monthly paid by Pusat Zakat. I have borrowed some money from my family to pay bills, food and medication. Until now, I am not able to pay my debts.I would be grateful if some funds could be raised so that I can pay my debts and other necessities.
The establishment of Yayasan Perpustakaan Raja Tun Uda (Raja Tun Uda Library Foundation) was inspired by HRH Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj’s idea to enrich and widen the collections at Raja Tun Uda Library from donations by corporations and individuals with a particular focus on special needs visitors and readers and on Selangor’s history and heritage. To ensure that the foundation has sufficient funds to fulfil such aims, the raising of the funds will be the main focus of the foundation. Funds raised will be deployed in accordance with plans, focuses and targets developed with the management of the library to ensure optimised outcomes from the funds raised and deployed.
Months ago, we decided to halt our father's work to focus on his treatments and the healing of the pain he's been enduring for quite some time. We underwent multiple lab tests, consulted various doctors, and visited different hospitals. The frustration arises from our utmost efforts to find treatment and the right medication to alleviate the pain that prevents him from walking, but unfortunately, we haven't succeeded. I admit, that in the first few weeks, I became impatient, fragile, and short-tempered. Until we finally had to know, it was cancer originating in his colon that had spread to his liver and bones – now, it makes sense.I was frightened; the situation felt surreal, and I couldn't fathom being here. Each day feels like a never-ending nightmare as if the hourglass is emptying rapidly. Isn't it ironic how we were eager to uncover the cause of his pain, yet now that we know, I wish we didn't?Last year, around September, I attended a retreat where a particular phrase began to reside in my heart: "You are God's instrument to dismantle all the barriers that the enemy is constructing." Now, it all makes perfect sense. Truly, this is a situation I never wished to encounter. Yet, I firmly believe that God has placed me here, and I am certain that He, the same unwavering God, will guide us out of this situation. It was the life I used to pray the Lord to spare me from, the life I didn't and still don't want. Yet, I am confident that years from now, it will be the life I will proudly share, demonstrating the greatness of God.I'm Shaira Bulan a full-time student and employee, is humbly asking for your prayers and generous hearts. I'm a graphic designer, video editor, digital artist, and motion graphics animator. All the donations and proceeds that I will be gaining will go directly to my papa's medical treatment.For any services email me at [email protected] donations, you may send through gcash: 09283972055
Everyone has their own valuable things that they loved and cherished. It could be a thing, someone, or it could be an abstract thing like their job, their competency and etc. For me, my 3 cats are my family, my best friend, my hobby, my therapist, my diamond and pearl. Two of my cats are adopted, I found them for free on FB post. One was a pregnant stray cat that I foster for more than a year but no one interested to adopt her.. only her kittens has been adopted, so I decided to keep the mom. During 3 years of COVID time were the hardest moment for me, but I am glad that I have them by my side. Living alone in a foreign country, isolated and cannot even go back to see your family.. but I survive all of it because of the love of Allah and my cats that keep me accompany. We keep on living happily here in Malaysia, but recently I received an unfortunate news. My company decided to laid me off with 2 months notice, I was not prepared and everything was in a rush.I checked with pet travel agency the amount of transporting 3 cats from Malaysia to Indonesia. Documents to arrange export permit RM850 per cat, Rabies blood test RM1500 per cat, microchipping, rabies vaccination, import permit from Indonesia, 14 days fee of quarantine in Indonesia when we arrive. With the total that out of my budget I am seeking for help to raise the money for transporting my cat, and please wish me and my cats to arrive safe and sound together back in my hometown. Thank you in advance <3

Dear all,I am writing to introduce myself as Ruth from Sarawak, Malaysia. I have been blind since birth due to being born prematurely. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at a private university in Kuching, Sarawak.Ever since I was young, I have been learning braille, and it has become an essential part of my life. Being able to read braille has made my studies more comfortable and has also allowed me to enjoy reading in my free time. However, to further enhance my learning experience, I am in need of a braille device called the Brailliant BI.40X braille display. This device will greatly assist me in reading and note-taking during my studies.I believe that the Brailliant BI.40X braille display will be a valuable tool for me, despite its expensive cost. You can find more information about this device on the following website: https://store.humanware.com/hus/brailliant-bi-40x-braille-display.htmlAfter requesting a quotation from the manufacturer, I found that the cost of the device is RM 19.418.00 based on the current currency rate. I am writing to humbly request your support in sponsoring this device, which will greatly contribute to my successful completion of my Master's degree. Your generosity will make a significant difference in my academic journey.For those who wish to contribute, please find my bank details below:Bank: MaybankAccount Number: 161088482391Account Holder Name: Ruth Yong Wang TheenThank you for considering my request, and may God bless you abundantly.Sincerely,Ruth
India is going through a deadly COVID-19 inflicted crisis.Last week, an average of over 300,000 NEW cases per day were reported in India. With many more cases going unreported and an overwhelmed system that cannot keep up, the scale of which COVID-19 has ravished India is devastating to witness.To give you a scale of the urgency of donations required, UNICEF India has provided the following breakdowns:For RS 25,000 (MYR 1,393 / USD 338) x 533 donors = One Oxygen generation plantFor RS 12,500 (MYR 697 / USD 169) x 130 donors = One RT-PCRWith a healthcare system at breaking point, India is in desperate need of Thermal scanners, RT-PCR testing machines, nasal cannulas, oxygen concentrators, and oxygen generation plants. Let's do this for our colleagues, family, friends, and all those in India. All funds will be channelled to UNICEF India.
New Updates 20 March 2022The house is done renovation and the family is safely moved in. (New update picture in the galleries) Updates 1July 2021At 80%, the renovation of the Chin family’s house is nearing completion! Progress was delayed due to the ongoing MCO, but rest assured, the team is working hard and trying their best to speed up the process so that the Chin family can move in as soon as possible!Hi there!First and foremost, thank you for taking time out of your day to read about this campaign. I’m Lansson and I have a story to share with you.FYI – All the proceeds from this website will go directly to the Chin Family’s account. Kindly refer to photos above for account details. (Name: Koo Yok Kion / Mrs Chin – Bank Acc No.: 5015489028 PBB)YouTube Video of the House Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RT7Biv9UJoThe Volunteer Renovation CompanyBusiness Name: Scale Space WorksBusiness Registration No.: 002965645-APerson-in-Charge: Ong Xing Kai (012-3953699)The BackstoryIt all started when I was trying to sell off a used refrigerator. An acquaintance mentioned that one of his staff needed a new refrigerator but was unable to afford one. I decided to just give it away to the family. When I went over to deliver it, I was shocked by what I saw, even from the outside. I asked if the family would allow me to take a look inside their house as the movers carried the refrigerator in. We then had a short chat.The FamilyMrs Chin (Koo Yok Kion), 53, works as a kitchen helper and earns just over RM40 a day. She rides to work on a bicycle as the old Proton Saga in the driveway is beyond repair. She works in order to support her husband, now 63, and young son, soon turning 13. Mr Chin used to work as a factory worker, but after having a stroke years ago, he has since developed problems with his vision and now requires a walking stick to get around. Mr Chin has been unable to find another job at a factory since. Their son, Ming, will be starting secondary school next year and is a straight-A student. Both father and son have biscuits or noodles for lunch when Mrs Chin is at work during the weekdays. In the evening, Mrs Chin brings home leftover rice and a simple dish from the restaurant or two boxes of takeaway mixed rice shared between the three of them. With barely enough money for themselves after paying the bills and Mr Chin’s hypertension medication, it was unlikely that they would be able to save enough money to fix the house in any capacity.The BuildingA front door hanging off its hinges. Wooden walls ravaged by termites. A rusty tin roof with large sections blown away over the years. Water gets in when it rains, as mould-ridden stains mark the ceiling throughout the house. In some rooms, planks of wood are positioned as makeshift support beams to keep the roof from falling, but parts of the house were already crumbling. Last year, Ming had been infected with dengue, possibly a result of all the openings to the outside throughout the house and windows without netting, exposing the family to mosquitos.The Follow-upI visited the Chin family a week later to help the family move and dispose of all broken and unused items from the house with a group of friends. One of them was a contractor who, after going through the house, said that one section could be renovated and be made safe to live in as it had stable concrete walls. The rest of the house was unsalvageable. However, while he was willing to do the renovation at cost price, he would not be able to bear the full expense. This is where I come to you, dear reader, to perhaps consider contributing towards the renovation cost. Ultimately, what we hope to achieve is to provide the Chin family a safe space to live in.This building might look like a house, but will you help us make it a home? Recent ConcernsSince starting this campaign, we have received questions regarding the house and land ownership. Please be assured that we are also working together with legal advisors who are willing to help pro bono, so the Chin family may continue to stay on this piece of land. With regards to house ownership, it was passed down from Mr Chin’s grandmother to himself and his brother. However, around 20 years ago, Mr Chin’s brother had passed away. His then sister-in law remarried soon after and changed her and her children’s last name. There was one day when Mr Chin’s sister paid a visit, but only to ask for a share of the land. Mr Chin requested that she change back her children’s last name to Chin before discussing any further, but she declined this request. She has since never visited the Chin family again and has decidedly moved on. While this story has its fair share of family drama, at the end of the day, our main priority is to help provide a safe living space for the Chin family.
Ruck, Catherine, Andy and Matt are going to attempt to complete the 100km MacLehose Trail in Hong Kong on February 5th. 100km feels quite a long way - especially when matched with over 4,366m elevation - similar to that of hiking from sea level to the Matterhorn in the Alps! We will complete the full 100km together, starting early morning on February 5th 2021 and finishing in the early hours of the next day. Charities and those whom rely on their generosity have been some of the hardest hit due to Covid-19. So we are raising funds for 2 local charities in Hong Kong, Mind HK and Mother's Choice, that are close to our hearts, with donations raised split equally between them. We are hugely grateful for any contributions people feel comfortable giving. According to Mind HK's research (September 2020) , over 50% of Hong Kong residents believe their mental worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic . Money raised through this campaign will support the translation and adaptation of resources on mental health during COVID-19. This is to ensure we can get timely and relevant information to individuals to help them manage their mental health through the pandemic.The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has also created a large hole in Mother's Choice traditional fundraising activities. It will continually need funds to keep its doors open to support those who need help most - vulnerable children without families and pregnant teenagers in HK. We want to support Mother's Choice vision, which is "to see every child in a loving family". Funds donated here will also be used to purchase mosquito repellent machines, and cots with mattresses for their Child Care Home. Thank you for supporting our fundraising challenge!NB: If your donation is matched by Goldman Sachs, please forward the GS Matching Gift Program confirmation email to [email protected], so that we can add it to the Total Raised. Thank you.

Our good friend, family member and colleague Maks has had a tragic motorbike accident in Phuket Thailand on 30th July 2019. He suffered Traumatic Brain Injury called "Severe Diffuse Axonal Injury" and has been in a coma ever since at Vachira hospital in Phuket. He was in ICU for 20 of those days.Currently, His health is stable but is still on a breathing machine.His family have flew over and have been by his side during this difficult time of his life.They are now trying every effort to come up with the funds to bring him back home where they can be by his side and provide him with the care he needs until such time as he wakes up. The hospital issued a travel clearance for him but he will be needing a full medical team and equipment to travel back home.The amount to bring him back home will be around $40k plus around $20k in hospital bills. We are seeking to raise the money for Maks and his family and would greatly appreciate any financial support that can be given.
FlowerPower is a new non-profit that aims to repurpose flowers after wedding/events and deliver them to less well-off individuals and communities.Our aim is to bring joy and positive energy to the community by repurposing flowers from large events e.g. weddings or corporate functions. We collect flowers, repackage them into mini-bouquets and deliver them to those who need it most (e.g. nursing homes, women's shelters and disadvantaged communities), thereby enhancing mental wellness as well as reducing waste.Why flowers? Flowers are important in enhancing mental wellness. We all know that flowers naturally bring positive energy: they look pretty, smell good and they brighten our physical environment, making us feel more comfortable. However, flowers actually operate on a deeper brain chemical level too! Studies have shown that flowers increase levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain - which are the exact same chemicals targeted by antidepressants. There is also evidence that flowers reduce anxiety, encourage social interaction and improve memory function. Historically, they have been a symbol of love and affection, and flowers trigger these happy memories. Furthermore, flowers facilitate a reconnection with nature in today’s increasingly disconnected society.How will it work?We have teamed up with a number of hotels around Singapore to keep us informed of events, as well as charity organisations who will be our beneficiaries.Check out our website at scentflowerpower.wixsite.com/singapore for more details!FundraisingAll funds raised will go towards the cost of transport of collecting and distributing flowers as well as some basic necessities to make and decorate our repurposed flower bouquets. We are aiming to raise $2000. This will pay for supplies and enable us to attend an estimate of 25-30 events.
I’m taking part in the Ironman 70.3 Langkawi (Malaysia) on the 17th November 2018. This is a triathlon race which consists of swimming for 1.9km, then cycling for 90km and running a half-marathon in a row. More information on the race on the following link Ironman 70.3 Langkawi Help Me Swim, Cycle and Run for Critically Sick Children Although the Ironman 70.3 Langkawi remains a personal challenge for me, I just do not want to race only for me to reach that goal but I want to race for a good cause and try to help others, especially very sick kids. There is one French association, “Le Marche De Noel”, which has been organizing since 2010 the “French Charity Christmas bazaar” in Kuala Lumpur. I want to help this association which is doing a fantastic work. All the fundraising goes to one NGO ( “Make-a-Wish Malaysia” ) and one charity programme ( “A-Heart for A-Heart” ) that support and fight for the kids of Malaysia who have life-threatening disease or congenital heart disease. I’m lucky to be in good health and enjoy sport every day, hence as a father of a young child giving the possibility to kids and their family to have a brighter future is so important to me.Counting on your strong support, please fundraise with me!
Let me introduce myself, I am Agus Tabik, 45 years old, working as a self-employed person. I currently have a 16 year old daughter who is sick with leaking kidneys, for more than 1 year.Her joys, happiness disappeared because of the pain he experienced. Her schooling stopped for almost 1 year.Our parents have tried our best, by taking her to the hospital for treatment, but her illness requires very serious treatment because it is quite a serious illness. Currently we cannot work optimally because we have to always accompany our daughter.I experienced financial difficulties because I had to pay quite a lot of money for our daughter's health care. I ask for help from everyone who can help by donating some of what they have. I really appreciate every donation given and hope it can help me in these difficult times.Your helping hand may not be able to wipe away the tears and sadness experienced. However, a few of you will go a long way to lighten our burden. Whatever value you transfer to our account will be very meaningful.Thank you, may God bless and reward you all for your kindness.
Imagine you can restore someone's vision and transform their life! US$ 100 can achieve just that!We are fundraising to cover expenses for 3 medical missions in Manila and San Jose from September 18th to December 3rd. During this time it is expected that, in line with previous missions, these interventions will end or alleviate over 2,000 visual impairment disabilities. We work with local partners, doctors, opticians, nurses, and other volunteers to provide free eye tests, cataracts/glaucoma operations, and glasses (bifocal, special and reading) to underprivileged children and adults in Philippines’ poorest areas.All funds raised go to cover medical materials, including medicines, and glasses. US$100 pays for a cataract operation, US$ 2 for a pair of reading glasses, ~US$ 15 for bifocal pair of glasses (frame and lenses) and ~US$ 22 for special prescription pair of glasses. All people involved, including the doctors, are volunteers and pay for their own expenses.Visual impairment has been linked to socioeconomic factors of health in general and poverty in particular (over 90% of blind people live in developing countries of Asia and Africa). In the Philippines, visual impairment is the most prevalent disability. Visual disability may lead to poverty due to the loss of earning power, but poverty itself aggravates the disability by limiting access to hygienic environments and healthcare services. Cataract and uncorrected refractive error together cause 55% of the blindness and 77% of the vision impairment in people. People with restored vision can return to study, work, and a healthy lifestyle. Their lives and the lives of their families can be instantly transformed for the best!We leverage our networks to buy materials directly from factories. In addition, our entrepreneur friends donate some materials and resources.

Abdi is a 2 year old Somalian boy who is in need of a liver transplant and needs urgent attention. He also has another younger sister who is 1 month old, and his parents are in need of support for his surgery. I first met Abdi through his dad, as he was looking to be a chef with PichaEats to support his family. Abdi's mother is currently looking after him and his sister at home.Currently, he is only depending on monthly medication and his condition restricts him from breathing normally. The doctor only gives Abdi months to live without the transplant. This surgery will save his life and give him a second chance to grow up.Dr Hartini Zainudin and Syed Azmi are also currently working on this case right now and we would appreciate all the help and support we can get.

During COVID19 pandemic, MFMW has assisted over 300 migrant domestic workers to find free temporary accommodation. Now, with the increased demand caused by the pandemic and the much-needed free shelters full, suitable and decent accommodation which is affordable for migrant domestic workers has become very difficult to find. Recent news report have highlighted the overcrowded and dangerous living conditions which many migrant workers must suffer as they have nowhere else to go. We are supporting migrant domestic workers in need, especially those who contracts are terminated and abandoned due to the COVID 19 pandemic, those who are waiting to receive their labour compensation, those who are in between jobs and those who are stranded in Hong Kong. To date, we have provided rent support to nearly 20 workers, but there are hundreds more that need our- and your- help.

We appeal for your help to house and feed this vulnerable and valued group within our community during the COVID19 pandemic. Please help- any amount you can give will be most gratefully received.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at a private university in Kuching, Sarawak.Ever since I was young, I have been learning braille, and it has become an essential part of my life. Being able to read braille has made my studies more comfortable and has also allowed me to enjoy reading in my free time.

New Updates 20 March 2022The house is done renovation and the family is safely moved in. (New update picture in the galleries) Updates 1July 2021At 80%, the renovation of the Chin family’s house is nearing completion! Progress was delayed due to the ongoing MCO, but rest assured, the team is working hard and trying their best to speed up the process so that the Chin family can move in as soon as possible!Hi there!First and foremost, thank you for taking time out of your day to read about this campaign. I’m Lansson and I have a story to share with you.FYI – All the proceeds from this website will go directly to the Chin Family’s account. Kindly refer to photos above for account details. (Name: Koo Yok Kion / Mrs Chin – Bank Acc No.: 5015489028 PBB)YouTube Video of the House Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RT7Biv9UJoThe Volunteer Renovation CompanyBusiness Name: Scale Space WorksBusiness Registration No.: 002965645-APerson-in-Charge: Ong Xing Kai (012-3953699)The BackstoryIt all started when I was trying to sell off a used refrigerator. An acquaintance mentioned that one of his staff needed a new refrigerator but was unable to afford one. I decided to just give it away to the family. When I went over to deliver it, I was shocked by what I saw, even from the outside. I asked if the family would allow me to take a look inside their house as the movers carried the refrigerator in. We then had a short chat.The FamilyMrs Chin (Koo Yok Kion), 53, works as a kitchen helper and earns just over RM40 a day. She rides to work on a bicycle as the old Proton Saga in the driveway is beyond repair. She works in order to support her husband, now 63, and young son, soon turning 13. Mr Chin used to work as a factory worker, but after having a stroke years ago, he has since developed problems with his vision and now requires a walking stick to get around. Mr Chin has been unable to find another job at a factory since. Their son, Ming, will be starting secondary school next year and is a straight-A student. Both father and son have biscuits or noodles for lunch when Mrs Chin is at work during the weekdays. In the evening, Mrs Chin brings home leftover rice and a simple dish from the restaurant or two boxes of takeaway mixed rice shared between the three of them. With barely enough money for themselves after paying the bills and Mr Chin’s hypertension medication, it was unlikely that they would be able to save enough money to fix the house in any capacity.The BuildingA front door hanging off its hinges. Wooden walls ravaged by termites. A rusty tin roof with large sections blown away over the years. Water gets in when it rains, as mould-ridden stains mark the ceiling throughout the house. In some rooms, planks of wood are positioned as makeshift support beams to keep the roof from falling, but parts of the house were already crumbling. Last year, Ming had been infected with dengue, possibly a result of all the openings to the outside throughout the house and windows without netting, exposing the family to mosquitos.The Follow-upI visited the Chin family a week later to help the family move and dispose of all broken and unused items from the house with a group of friends. One of them was a contractor who, after going through the house, said that one section could be renovated and be made safe to live in as it had stable concrete walls. The rest of the house was unsalvageable. However, while he was willing to do the renovation at cost price, he would not be able to bear the full expense. This is where I come to you, dear reader, to perhaps consider contributing towards the renovation cost. Ultimately, what we hope to achieve is to provide the Chin family a safe space to live in.This building might look like a house, but will you help us make it a home? Recent ConcernsSince starting this campaign, we have received questions regarding the house and land ownership. Please be assured that we are also working together with legal advisors who are willing to help pro bono, so the Chin family may continue to stay on this piece of land. With regards to house ownership, it was passed down from Mr Chin’s grandmother to himself and his brother. However, around 20 years ago, Mr Chin’s brother had passed away. His then sister-in law remarried soon after and changed her and her children’s last name. There was one day when Mr Chin’s sister paid a visit, but only to ask for a share of the land. Mr Chin requested that she change back her children’s last name to Chin before discussing any further, but she declined this request. She has since never visited the Chin family again and has decidedly moved on. While this story has its fair share of family drama, at the end of the day, our main priority is to help provide a safe living space for the Chin family.
Help Us To Help 30 Childcare Centres & Pre-schools Serving Low Income Families In Terengganu & Pahang to restart and recover First the Pandemic, then the Flood. How Do We Recover?The extremely heavy monsoon rains pounded on the East Coast for a week until January 5, 2021. Not a good way to start the New Year for thousands of families and small busineses. One of those badly affected was the early childhood sector – childcare centres and pre-schools serving low income families in Terengganu and Pahang, in particular in the Districts of Kuantan, Temerloh, Kuala Lipis, Raub, and Kuala Terengganu, Marang and Kemaman in Terengganu. Childline Foundation has received an appeal from 30 childcare centre and pre-school operators providing essential childcare and early education to children of low income families. Some of them have suffered losses between RM5,000 - RM15,000.Destroyed by mud and debris, most suffered loss of furniture, learning materials, toys, and kitchen equipment and will now have to struggle to clean, re-equip and restart their community services. Already at breaking point and on the verge of closures due to the impact of Covid-19 restrictions, they are hard pressed to recover without financial aid.Why must we help them to recover?Research has shown without a doubt that the first #1000Days and early years (below 6 years) are critical to children's wellbeing, because the early foundation in nutrition, health and brain development has profound impact on children’s current and future physical, language, cognitive and socio emotional wellbeing.In the poor rural and urban communities served by these 30 childcare centres and pre-schools, these centres and pre-schools are a lifeline for their parents who otherwise would not be able to go out to work. These children are at high risk of health and learning issues such as stunting, obesity, impaired learning disabilities and poor nutrition. Like all children elsewhere they have a right to access quality early childhood care and learning that will help them to grow and learn. Without your help to recover and restart, it is likely that these 30 centres will close or if they restart with no toys and learning resources, they will revert to custodial care which will severely impair the children's cognitive, language and overall development.Specifically the funds raised through your kind and generous donations will be utilised in the best interests of children and therefore we will be focused on providing each of the 30 centres and pre-schools with 3 Early Childhood Education (ECE) Boxes of learning materials, toys and essential hygiene sets for the children at these centres - namely the Infant and Toddler Play Box, the Toy Box for children 2-6 years old, and the Hygiene Box at RM1,500 per centre (RM500 per ECE Box). We therefore hope to reach a fundraising target of RM45,000 with this Recovery Flood Aid donation appeal. We will cover other costs related to procurement, packaging and transportation costs.Your kind and generous donation (any amount is never too small) will be used in the recovery process of these 30 centres and pre-schools so that they can continue to serve low income families and children.

Ruck, Catherine, Andy and Matt are going to attempt to complete the 100km MacLehose Trail in Hong Kong on February 5th. 100km feels quite a long way - especially when matched with over 4,366m elevation - similar to that of hiking from sea level to the Matterhorn in the Alps! We will complete the full 100km together, starting early morning on February 5th 2021 and finishing in the early hours of the next day. Charities and those whom rely on their generosity have been some of the hardest hit due to Covid-19. So we are raising funds for 2 local charities in Hong Kong, Mind HK and Mother's Choice, that are close to our hearts, with donations raised split equally between them. We are hugely grateful for any contributions people feel comfortable giving. According to Mind HK's research (September 2020) , over 50% of Hong Kong residents believe their mental worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic . Money raised through this campaign will support the translation and adaptation of resources on mental health during COVID-19. This is to ensure we can get timely and relevant information to individuals to help them manage their mental health through the pandemic.The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has also created a large hole in Mother's Choice traditional fundraising activities. It will continually need funds to keep its doors open to support those who need help most - vulnerable children without families and pregnant teenagers in HK. We want to support Mother's Choice vision, which is "to see every child in a loving family". Funds donated here will also be used to purchase mosquito repellent machines, and cots with mattresses for their Child Care Home. Thank you for supporting our fundraising challenge!NB: If your donation is matched by Goldman Sachs, please forward the GS Matching Gift Program confirmation email to [email protected], so that we can add it to the Total Raised. Thank you.

When you do not know when you can give your 6 year old her next rice meal. When you cannot go out to find work, so she and your entire family of 9 can eat. This is the story of Flores, Indonesia. In one of the normally flourishing tourism towns. The streets are deserted, the supermarket is still open but empty, even the pasar, the local market where families sell their crops, is by no means the normal hustle and bustle of playing children, caring mothers, and a constant in and out of cars with fresh produce.For years the people of Flores (with almost 2 million inhabitants) have been drawn to the bustling gateway to Komodo National Park in the hope to find work in tourism and support families back in their villages. More and more people every year turn the Tourist dollar into food, homes, healthcare, schooling for siblings and financial security for their families. Last March this came to an abrupt halt. All tourists packed their backpacks and started on their long routes home. Businesses started closing one by one in the hope to survive until the tourists come back again. This left the people of Flores and their families stranded. No tourist means no income, and no income is no food for the many families, that are dependent on Tourism. What your can do: We have set up food packages, essentials like rice, oil, cabbage, coffee, drinking water and soap. Help us help the People of Flores. Donate today! With 500.000 Indonesian Rupiah, the equivalent of 30EUR a family of 4 can eat for 2 weeks. But also 10EUR gives relief to a family.Contact us, with ideas of finding income for a community that is highly dependent on tourism. Share your love for Komodo and this appeal for help.With our target amount of 5.000EUR we can help more then 80 families with food and essentials for a month. We are in our second month of our appeal, we aim to reach the same target! Thank you so much for all support, it means so much <3The Hero'sYou! You are a hero. You have helped the families in Flores. Thank you for caring & sharing. Our team of Wicked Good Indonesia is on a daily quest, gathering food, making packages and then distributing. Still considering the environment we live in, and keeping plastic usage to a minimum. It is great to see people paying it forward, our hardest workers, helping with the distributions, are some of the families we have helped first <3 For more information or questions send us a message [email protected] or [email protected] Wicked Good Indonesia is a registered Yayasan in Indonesia and a branch of Wicked Diving.

Updates:1. 28th March: The Global Peace Malaysia team have changed the food relief amount from RM100 to RM50 worth of food per family in order to accommodate to more OA families. 2. 2nd April: With generous help from our donors and corporate sponsors, we have exceeded the initial fundraising amount of RM25,000! However, a growing number of OA villagers are still in dire need of food relief and have been requesting for help. Therefore, we are now increasing our fundraising target to RM50,000.3. 9th April: With your generosity and commitment to supporting our OA friends, we are excited to announce that we have exceeded our fundraising target of RM50,000! We are now increasing our fundraising target to RM100,000 to provide more food relief to those in need, benefitting a total of 2000 OA families. Although the MCO is scheduled to end on the 14th of April, we want to ensure that OA families have enough essential food to tide them over during the window period as they make the transition back to work. This will significantly ease the burden of OA villagers, allowing them to put food on the table and keep their funds afloat as they concentrate on getting back into work.4. 24th April: We are both excited and humbled to announce that we have exceeded our target of RM100,000! However, our work does not end here as the MCO has been extended yet again to the 12th of May. Although the 1st round of food aid has been distributed, many OA families are stretched thin from hanging on to food supplies that was meant to last for 2 weeks. As such, we are looking to raise a total of RM200,000 to provide for the 2nd round of food relief! For a full report on the #raiseforfood donation campaign, please click the link here: https://globalpeace.org.my/raiseforfood-donations-disbursements/In the days and weeks ahead, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) will continue to present enormous challenges to the lives of underserved communities across Malaysia. With rising unemployment and income disruption, some of our most marginalized orang asli communities (OA) are receiving the greatest blow.Global Peace Foundation has been working with underserved OA communities in the Pekan and Rompin districts in Pahang since 2016. We have worked with over 70 villages on projects related to access to clean water, energy and education. Most of these communities that we work with are categorized as hardcore poor, earning as little as RM300-600/month on average. We are currently in touch with OA communities and have been told that some families are in dire need of food relief. As such, we are looking to fundraise RM200,000 to provide 4,000 sets of food relief for OA families. During these times of uncertainty, many of us are not able to do much other than to practice social distancing and stay at home. However, we can still support each other. Every little bit of help that you can give will provide immediate relief for those who are struggling and have been greatly impacted by this pandemic.The Issues Many OA villagers rely on ad-hoc work for income. Without any work, a majority of OA villagers will no longer be able to bear the expenses of purchasing essential items such as food. Many OA farmers' income are also be affected as they are now unable to sell products such as serai, petai and rubber due to the MCO.The SolutionProvide food relief for 4000 OA families.Each family will receive a total of RM50 worth of essential food that will last for up to two weeks.Essential food items include rice, flour, sugar, cooking oil, bihun, biscuits and salt.The ImpactEnsure that 4000 OA families across Pahang will have enough food until the MCO is lifted.Provide 4000 families with some ease of mind during these trying times.Please help by either donating and/or sharing this plea to the public so that we may have enough to support our Malaysian brothers and sisters during this trying time.FAQs 1. Are you sending food relief directly to the OA villages? In order to comply with the MCO and avoid risk of infection, we will not be traveling to OA villages. Using our OA village database and contact with local community organizers, we have identified villages that are in dire need of assistance. We will then make orders to the closest or most frequented grocery store by the villagers. A village representative will then pick up the groceries from the store and distribute them in the village. 2. Will 100% of donations be accounted for? Transparency is of utmost importance to Global Peace Foundation Malaysia. 100% of the funds raised will be channeled as food relief for our beneficiaries. At the end of the campaign, an account will be reported to the public to show how the fund has been spent. For a full report on the #raiseforfood donation campaign, please click the link here: https://globalpeace.org.my/raiseforfood-donations-disbursements/3. What essential food will families receive? With RM50, each family will receive: x1 10kg Rice, x2 1kg Flour, x1 Sugar, x1 Cooking Oil, x2 Bihun, x1 Biscuits, x1 salt. This will provide enough food for one family for at least two weeks.4. Why are OA villagers fleeing into forests? Although the deadly Spanish flu swept through communities a century ago, the unknown nature of Covid-19 is striking similar fears among many OA communities. As such, they are moving into the forest to protect themselves and to search for food. However, due to deforestation, many OA villagers are faced with food insecurity.5. How can I help? You can help support our fellow Malaysian brothers and sisters by donating to our appeal on SimplyGiving or by sharing our plea to the public. Every single cent will be channeled to providing food relief for OA families.
Following recent spike of the Covid-19 (Corona Virus) cases in Malaysia and the government's movement control order, it is important for us to update you on TLFP's operations.TLFP OPERATIONSThese are unprecedented times for Malaysia and with the movement control order in place until 31 March 2020, we will see limitations in terms of daily activities and operations. However, given that the government has allowed for essential businesses to operate as usual including retail and food supplies, this also essentially means that TLFP can still operate with the support from our food partners, on dried goods, baked goods and other items.Our weekly pickups from Pasar Borong Kuala Lumpur however will be restricted for the moment at least until the end of the Order as we understand the government's need to stop the spread of the virus especially in enclosed and crowded places. Therefore our operations involving PBKL will cease until further notice.Operations at our warehouse will be restricted to our staff and a core group of volunteers with very limited number of pax at any single time. TLFP has always placed an importance on high hygiene standards and food safety, and will continue to do so.Delivery of food to charities will also require higher standards of operations, and we will brief our volunteer drivers to ensure that there is minimal contact between them and others who are involved during pickups and deliveries.HELPING OUR CRITICAL BENEFICIARIESWe understand that this will have an impact on our charity partners and beneficiaries due to the limitations on our food sourcing, but we will strive to continue to provide food to our most vulnerable charities.We rely on your help during these trying times. If you can help us help the most vulnerable in our society, please donate today.It is very important that we continue to stand together to help those who will be impacted most by this global crisis. Sadly, thousands of our beneficiaries will not be able to receive their weekly provision due to the crisis and many will struggle to provide for themselves with a possible loss of income.DONATE FOOD:We therefore would like to appeal to our supporters, if you do have essential food items you could donate (see list of items below) please can drop them at our warehouse here (every Monday and Thursday morning from 9.30-11.30am). DONATE MONEY:In addition, we are launching an urgent appeal for additional funding for our operations during these times to ensure that we are able to continue to reach those most in need and get back on track once we ride off this crisis.You can donate here or directly to our Maybank account (The Lost Food Project - account number 514897068927).FUNDRAISE FOR USYou can also fundraise for us virtually, from the comforts of your own home. Please click on Start Fundraising to create your personalised fundraising page and share it with your network of friends and family and through email, WhatsApp and social media, etc. Every bit of help counts.AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, PLEASE TAKE CARE.We are mindful of the efforts that are being taken by the government to ensure the health and safety of the people in Malaysia are secured first and foremost, and as such we would like to heed their call and remind all our partners and volunteers to continue practising good hygiene, practise social distancing and limit movements and activities outside of the house. We are confident that if we continue to unite as one as we have always done, no one will be left behind.
Puan Zebadeh Binti Jali is a sweet spirited lady of friendly disposition who has seldom ventured out of her birth place of Banting, Selangor. At the age of 57 the relatively young grandmother to a grandson and a granddaughter has in addition brought into the world 2 adult sons and 2 adult daughters. Currently, she is staying with her youngest son and her mother in Banting. However, Puan Zebadeh’s movements are fairly limited as she cannot afford to be away from her home for long periods of time. Much that she will like to go visiting faraway places she is handicapped by the inconvenience of having to undergo haemodialysis on alternate days for three times a week with each time lasting three hours. On top of it, even after each session of dialysis treatment, she often feels worn out thereby leaving her with little or no energy for activities including cleaning the house and carrying out household chores. As you can see, Puan Zebedah’s 2 kidneys that are supposed to filter the wastes of her body have completely failed when she was 37 years of age after giving birth to her youngest son. This affliction further aggravated her family life as earlier while she was hale and hearty, her husband made up his mind to part with her and her children. She, thus, had to face the additional whammy to rely on the dialysis machine to survive for the natural course of her life unless there is the possibility of her receiving a matching donor kidney. Even then, when opportunity beckoned, she had to undergo a series of tests to determine the compatibility of her body system to a potential donor kidney. Sadly, her body was unable to withstand the rigours of the tests in Selayang Hospital with the result that the hospital authorities advised her that the option of a kidney transplant was out of the question. Under such disheartening circumstances, she was lucky to have the moral and financial support of her siblings. She used to work as factory worker near Klang before the chronic kidney disease caused her to stop working. For all the woes in her dialysis, she is very thankful to NKF for accommodating her in her dialysis treatment since 1997 with the staff of the dialysis centre treating her with much humility and professionalism. “I really appreciate the caring attitude of the NKF which often organises social gatherings to bring about greater social interaction amongst not only the patients and their families but also the staff members themselves.For more information, click at http://www.nkf.org.my, email to [email protected] or call 03-7954 9048

XUsed is a social enterprise with an application for people who want to earn extra income from selling their waste, such as used cooking oil, old newspapers and books, tin cans, bottles or glass. XUsed will connect the seller with potential buyers or waste collectors by providing the date and collection point for both parties. This app not only helps those in need of extra income but it also helps protect our environment through recycling waste products. XUsed has implemented its programme with 60 schools in 2018 under their “Earn to Learn @ School”, piloted with MCII. The programme helps students, teachers and schools gain financial benefits from recycling waste. Students can earn an average of RM50-RM100 per month from recycling waste from home. This has, in particular, provided underprivileged families with an additional source of household income and motivates the students to learn more about recycling waste and be environmentally conscious. Some schools have also “reinvested” the recycling proceeds back into improving its school facilities. XUsed currently has a pipeline of 200 schools that are interested in implementing “Earn to Learn @ School”. However, there is an initial start-up cost required for each school, to cover the following areas: Equipment (weighing machine and laptop)Marketing collateralsTraining and supportLogistic and waste collection set-up. XUsed is requesting a loan of RM15,000 to implement the programme in 5 new schools. They expect to repay the loan by October 2019.

The Batik Boutique is an award-winning social enterprise created to disrupt the cycle of poverty in Malaysia. We train women from low-income backgrounds to produce gifts and fashion accessories made from a traditional Malaysian fabric called batik. First, we work with artisan families in rural Malaysia where they create batik textiles on natural fibers. The artisans use layers of wax and dye to create the designs in a labour-intensive process. Next, women create ethical fashion and gift items with this fabric in our sewing training center. Today, more than 50 artisans work with The Batik Boutique to gain a fair, sustainable income and marketable skills. Each purchase directly benefits the artisan who made it. We are raising funds to expand our capacity to help more women and deliver better products to our clients. We are building a new sewing centre in Kota Damansara. Funds raised will be used to purchase sewing equipment and for basic renovation. Loan required: RM15,000. Loan will be repaid by December 2018.
Women of Will empowers disadvantaged women (B40) to initiate and sustain their own small businesses, rather than providing handouts. The women are given financial assistance (loan) of RM2000 to help them initiate small business ventures and attain an independent livelihood income. The amount is repaid on a weekly basis, interest-free. To help equip the women with the necessary skills to run their businesses, they are trained in an Entrepreneurial Development Program and taught the basics skills of managing a business, including financial management, marketing, and communications. Additionally, each woman is assigned a business coach and mentor for 6 -12 months to guide them and ensure that they have the support needed to develop a sustainable business, as well as help them lead balanced and wholesome lives. The average cost of delivering training is RM600 per woman, provided free of charge. To date Women Of Will has transformed the lives of 685 disadvantaged women in Malaysia. These women have received loans and started micro-enterprises with them. Based on our Impact Study conducted in 2015, on average each woman has seen an increase of 30% in their household income. We continue to support our beneficiaries by coaching them and providing them with additional skills training, entrepreneurship training, networking opportunities and events where they may sell their products. RM20,000 could fund 9-10 women entrepreneurs that are looking for 2nd term loans that will help expand their micro-businesses. Loans will be repaid by December 2018.
Support women rice farmers in Cambodia through loans that will impact their livelihoods!Studies show that when smallholder women farmers have control of their family's income, they spend 90% of it on their families, and their children's health and nutrition improves.The Cambodian Community Savings Federation (CCSF) understands this well.

Help us to empower women in Nepal create sustainable livelihoods through entrepreneurial endeavours.TECH Outreach Malaysia is launching Phase II of its Savings and Credit Scheme for Women Headed Households in Nepal. Following the success of our first pilot project, where we disbursed microcredit loans to 17 women and saw significant impact in their lives, we are raising RM40,000 to assist another 20 women break the poverty cycle. Please support us generously! This is a loan that will be repaid to you by March 2019.We first went into Nepal in May 2014 with the microcredit scheme. The 17 women that were selected for the loans had made tremendous progress. They repaid the loans on a weekly basis over a period of 18 months, at 0% interest. The women started small businesses involved in tailoring, food stall, tea shops, vegetable stalls, cosmetics, jewellery and handicrafts. We conducted an impact study in September 2015. The results were amazing, as the women who were once helpless and dependent on handouts, were now running their own businesses, faced with "real" business issues such as marketing, sourcing for customers, keeping their accounts and repaying their loans. Most of these women are either war widows or separated from their husbands, and have young children to support.The Story of Anu TamangWhen TECH Outreach first met her, Anu was separated from her husband for 4 years and lived with her 3 children in a rented single room in a remote monestry in Kathmandu. She was working as an ad-hoc construction worker, while her 9 year old daughter took care of the two younger siblings. She could barely make ends meet and could not afford to send her children to school nor ensured they received at least one meal a day.She received a small loan from TECH Outreach, of NPR50,000 (~MYR2,000) to set up a tea shop cum hotel. She was able to run her business while looking after her children. She worked very hard and ran the shop from 6am - 8pm. Business was good, and she was able to pay her bills, repay her loan fully and even start to save. The TECH Outreach team met Anu and her children again. Her kids looked happy and healthy. Seeing Anu's changed circumstances and demeanor was an inspiration to all in the team!Help us empower more women like Anu to build a better life for themselves and their families!

For more than 30 years, The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign (The Campaign) has been dedicated to advancing the possibility of a breast cancer-free world for all. This October, The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) honors Breast Cancer Awareness Month by launching The Campaign in support of the global breast cancer community. As ELC’s largest corporate social impact program, The Campaign continues to inspire purpose-driven action and is a cornerstone of the company’s social investments in women’s advancement, health and education. Through The Campaign, ELC has also been a longstanding supporter of women in science, research and medicine – funding numerous grants and programs around the world and accelerating opportunities for women in STEM. The Campaign was founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1992 with the launch of the iconic Pink Ribbon. At a time when breast cancer wasn’t spoken about openly, Evelyn and ELC saw an opportunity to bring awareness to the disease and address stigmas in women’s health - inspiring a global movement around The Campaign’s mission to help create a breast cancer-free world for all. Together, The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign and The Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation (ELCCF) have funded more than $118 million globally for life saving research, education, and medical services, with more than $93 million funding medical research grants through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). BCRF, also founded by Evelyn Lauder in 1993, is The Campaign’s leading non-profit partner, dedicated to advancing the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. In honor of The Campaign’s 30th Anniversary in 2022, ELCCF made a commitment to donate $15 million over five years to BCRF to fund groundbreaking research that will further the goal of reducing breast cancer disparities and improving outcomes. This comprehensive study of the intersection of social determinants of health, comorbidities and the biology of breast cancer in Black women has the potential to significantly impact breast cancer disparities globally. A diverse steering committee, as well as sub-committees, comprised of BCRF experts in disparities from acclaimed academic and medical institutions from across the country have established initial targets critical to identifying the roots of health equity and disparities in breast cancer outcomes. Information from thousands of patients will build this vital data-generating project and is the first step in this multi-year initiative. This year, The Campaign will: Support +60 organizations worldwide aligned to the diverse needs of local communities Honor the 20th Anniversary of The Breast Cancer Campaign in China, including the illumination of NO.1 Bund, Shanghai · Address disparities that exist across the entire breast cancer landscape · Fund medical research and fellowships worldwide · Fund medical resources and services including access to mammograms/screenings for vulnerable groups with limited access to healthcare · Provide support, therapy and counseling programs Host and convene events to advance education on breast health with key opinion leaders and experts - encouraging stakeholders everywhere to become breast health advocates Issue an Instagram call-to-action (@esteelaudercompanies) on October 1 to engage audiences and raise funds for BCRF using #TimeToEndBreastCancer Engage ELC’s brands: AERIN, Aveda, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Bumble and bumble, Clinique, Darphin, Dr. Jart+, Estée Lauder, Frederic Malle, Jo Malone London, Kilian Paris, La Mer, LAB Series, Origins, Smashbox, TOM FORD BEAUTY and Too Faced - with each donating to BCRF and/or local cancer-focused organizations around the world through product sales or flat donations (brand participation varying by market) Illuminate buildings, monuments and landmarks around the world in pink to raise awareness, including Empire State Building, New York City; Eiffel Tour, Paris; Burj Al Arab, United Arab Emirates; among others "ELC has an unwavering commitment to social impact, with The Breast Cancer Campaign at the forefront of these efforts.

Lauder, Executive Chairman, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. "Our passionate employees, consumers and partners have united to advance possibilities for those affected by this disease. Together, we will continue powering progress, until we realize my mother’s vision of a breast cancer-free world for all."

Dear Reader, Many will say that slavery no longer exists, that the word is something confined to our history books, a reminder of past mistakes. However, just as history repeats itself, modern day slavery is a very real issue that the world faces today. The human trafficking industry is an enormous network that works discreetly, making it a complex and very difficult problem to tackle- and one that many people are unaware of.When faced with such an immense problem, we asked ourselves one question: "What is it that we can do as as people with the privilege of having a voice, to empower those who have struggled so long without one?"Out of this question, Green Light was born - through the joint initiative of a group of female high school students looking to pursue meaningful change in the lives of those subject to systematic abuse and exploitation. We hope that through sharing our message, you can find your own way of answering that question in your heads, by considering how you can take part in the empowerment of the over 40 million victims of trafficking worldwide. We are always looking for partners in this journey, and hope that you will consider joining our collective fight against human trafficking in the region of Thailand!- The Green Light TeamThe Hike for Freedom Anti-Trafficking CampaignIn our fight against trafficking in Thailand, Green Light is proud to present our Hike For Freedom, an anti-trafficking campaign developed to support vulnerable ethnic minority women at risk of trafficking and exploitation in Thailand. Through mobilising youth advocates, we will go on a trek for change! This campaign will be in collaboration with our partner organisation, the New Life Center Foundation, a non profit organisation located in the North of Thailand which aims to empower victims and those at risk of trafficking and exploitation within the Mekong sub-region through providing residences, education, capacity and job skills training for girls and young women looking to break out of the cycle of systematic abuse that they face. Initiated in 1987, the New Life Center Foundation has worked to provide legal, psychological, educational, and repatriation assistance to hundreds of girls and women from communities in need of assistance. They are a well established and widely recognised organisation that have worked in collaboration with partners including the Royal Thai Government and other international NGOs. The proceeds generated through Green Light's initiatives such as its Hike for Freedom will go towards funding programs run through the New Life Center to aid these young women in their education and capacity development. To learn more about the specific projects carried out by the NLCF, please visit the following link to view the New Life Center's 2018 annual impact report: https://issuu.com/kit.ripley/docs/nlcf_annual_report_2018_ebook1?e=34916395/70224208A Poem for ThoughtWhat is identity?Is it the way in which you see?Is it your goals, your aims, your unfinished destiny?Imagine, What if your identity was issued by decree. What is value?Is it the number of zeros on a price tag?Is it the worth of your car or your house or your clothes? What if that price tag was attached to your skin. What if that barcode was stamped on your face.What if you were a series of zeros, with a quantity but not an identity. What if they told you,‘You are valuable but not valued.’What if they told you,‘We like what we see but we can’t see you’ What if you were a means to an end, but your end was meaningless.Because that’s who she is. To them, she is a series of zeroes, stripped of meaning. To her, she is a rope, frayed on the edges, tied in a noose.- Written by Aashna Kammila, 17 years old, Green Light Co-founder

We are a water technology company working to bring clean drinking water for everyone, everywhere. Years of dedicated research has resulted in an advanced water technology which is shaping a better future for millions of people. At its core, H2GO systems use the latest and most advanced British nanotechnology, the science of working with atoms and molecules. By using NanoCarb filter cartridges, water is filtered down to a microscopic 15 nanometers, whereas the size of the smallest virus is 20nm. Our technology filters out ALL viruses, bacteria, cysts and parasites from contaminated water sources converting it into sterile drinking water. Since 2013, H2GO has enabled access to clean drinking water to more than 1.7 million people locally and globally. Many of these sites are in the deepest part of the countries and are only accessible via small boats. The journey takes up hours of travel by river therefore authorities find it almost impossible to provide piped and treated water to these communities with high cost and logistics being the main stumbling blocks. Thus, our solution is safe, sustainable and cost-effectiveIn the pursuit of fulfilling the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6 of ensuring the availability of water and sanitation for all, we work towards empowering people in need with these life-changing resources – giving women hope, children health and families a bright future.

UPDATE : 28/06 Naeem, our Pakistani correspondent flew over to liaise with Pakistani clubs!UPDATE : 20/06 Training #1 over 350km cycled - we lost count how many joined us over 48hrs https://fb.watch/ecCyhbWgPo/UPDATE : 01/06 This page officially launchedASF https://www.ajmalsamuelfoundation.com promotes diversity and inclusion especially though physical engagement among the disabled and able bodied. Ajmal Samuel, the founder, is a prominent entrepreneur, national level sculling athlete and, for the past 35 years, a paraplegic. He is also totally into endurance sports! Following an amazing 'Krakin' thru China' fundraiser ride in 2019, that covered 2,315.17 km over 37 days, and in which Ajmal, along with other disabled riders, as well as with the able bodied, rode from Beijing to Mohe, a border town near the China-Russia border...Ajmal wants to do something similar again! So now we have the Kashgar 2 Karachi (K2K) endurance ride. In August this year, Ajmal and his team will hand-bike 31 days for more than 3,000km, from Kashgar, China to Karachi. Just as with the ‘Krakin’ ride, the riders will once again engage with local communities, disability associations and other help groups on every stop. They will once again share the inclusive message that disability is not about what one cannot do, but rather, it is about how together, challenges can be overcome. Videos and personal testimonies of those who took part will be the highlight! Ajmal and the team will also host workshops, camp fires, and other events where they will share their stories, and encourage both the disabled and the able bodied to leave stereotypes behind, embrace positivity and be active! K2K, like the ‘Krackin’ Trip is to build awareness for what disabled athletes, along with many others, can actually accomplish, while also giving back to the community. What the team learnt is that this is not just about overcoming physical challenges, but it is actually about sharing the feat with others: it is incredibly moving and inspiring, and even spiritually fulfilling for everyone involved. YOU can participate in this crazy ride too. You can witness their efforts online and help us FUNDRAISE ONLINE too. Funds raised will be earmarked for Direction Association for the Handicapped (DAH) https://www.4limb.org/en/. DAH is the ASF's beneficiary of choice as their mission and values closely align with that of the ASF. Since 1986, while they built a platform where members practiced the spirit of mutual-help and information sharing so members could re-integrate back into the broader community, they never stopped promoting physical activity amongst the wheelchair bound. This is exactly what ASF is striving for -- just take a look at the pictures below! It is no surprise that in 2022, DAH was named a partner in a HK$10million charitable program by the AIA Foundation.With another successful fundraising event, the Ajmal Samuel Foundation (ASF) plans to make this a signature annual project of the foundation. Who knows where and how far Ajmal and the team will go next year, or the year after, or even after that … The Ajmal Samuel Foundation (ASF) aims to make an impact fundraising for worthy charities and support a global effort to spread the message of inclusion for both the physically challenged and able bodied. It’s not just about being physical together, it is about setting achievable targets, going at it together for that noble, common cause --- anything is possible, together! Being disabled does not mean you do not get to enjoy life any less or achieve any lesser feats.

Kairos Agriculture has just launched the First Smart Vanilla Farm in Penang, Malaysia that adopts Agriculture 4.0 technologies including Internet of things (IOT), Big Data, AI and Machine Learning. This leading Permatang Pauh Agro-Park and Integrated Eco-Farm currently sits on 6 acres of land leased from Chief Minister Incorporated (CMI) Penang at the border of Penanti Penang and Lunas Kedah, will have Vanilla as its anchor crop and complimented by other premium cash crops, herbs and spices. Kairos Agriculture adopts various energy and resources-saving smart farming technologies in the farm which ranges from the chemical-free planting, recycling use of crop residue as compost, production of Efficient Microbes (EM) with the fruit waste collected from local wet market, automated irrigation system whereby the irrigation system will be activated automatically when the weather is hot and humidity is low with just a click away anytime and anywhere, rainwater harvesting system and full-LED usage in the farm. Kairos Agriculture believes Vanilla is the latest trend in agriculture industry. Vanilla is a high value crop that has transacted up to RM6Billion in 2018. We have two World Top Vanilla Species: Vanilla Planifolia and Vanilla Tahitensis in our Vanilla farm. We plant, we harvest, we process the Vanilla locally. We also had our Vanillas tested by a Japan flavoring company and we are honoured that our product has passed the Japan Food Safety Act and they are looking forward to exploring the Vanilla Supply from Malaysia. Our Malaysia First Vanilla Extract is also available for sale in the market now. In addition to the existing Smart Farming Technologies, Kairos Agriculture strives in its Research & Development (R&D) whereby the R&D team has come up with a Vanilla Portable Module prototype which we are planning to collaborate further to help contribute to the local B40 families by providing them all-in-one package, from Module Structure, seedling fertilizer, training and planting method. We made planting easy, Everyone Can Plant! For long-term R&D planning, Kairos Agriculture is planning on its R&D on the development and/or improvisation of the software that could collect and generate comprehensive data for better-quality and faster growing yield. With the collection of comprehensive database for optimum Vanilla plantation in Malaysia, Kairos Agriculture aims to collaborate to turn Northern Region as National Vanilla Plantation Hub in Malaysia to one of the key Vanilla domestic supply in Malaysia and potential export for the country economic growth. On 15th October 2020, Kairos Agriculture managed to introduce SPACE GARDEN - (The World First Organic Terrarium Vegetable Grow Box) with our social impact partner PWD Smart FarmAbility. SPACE GARDEN is officially launched by governor of Penang His Excellency Tun Dato’ Seri Utama (Dr.) Haji Abdul Rahman bin Haji Abbas. The Organic Vegetable is a decentralized food-production unit that is self-watering, self-regenerative with soil biology which brings fresh, nutritious, live, UNREFRIGERATED vegetables at the comfort of your one's home without them being a farmer. For the society, this means making nutritious food and meaningful jobs available for the marginalized communities. For earth, this terrarium raises awareness on zero carbon in terms of food miles, food waste, refrigeration, plastic use, land use, fertilizer use, and water use. Kairos Agriculture believes in TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) whereby we collaborate resources from the skills, experience and the network of our founders, mentors, expert farmers and Agriculture 4.0 technology practitioners, State Government and any possible partners with the aligned goals for the benefit of the community and bring transformation to the agriculture industry with the adoption and continuous improvisation of smart farming technology. Kairos Agriculture envisions to be a leading chemical free integrated farm in Asia and aims to be a role model for young people to participate in agriculture through smart farming to increase the export rate of our national agriculture. Malaysia, despite being blessed by fertile land and great weather, imports food worth RM52Billion every year. Such humongous figure is mind-blown; but viewed in another way, this presents tremendous opportunities and incentives for public and private stakeholders to work together to support win-win, high yield, precision initiatives empowered by the latest IR 4.0 technologies.
