Social Aid: YK Hari Raya Giveaway 2023

(April 2023)

As part of the Eid ul Fitr month-long celebration for the month of Syawwal in Malaysia, we recently conducted another Eid Giveaway program, this time at four selected primary schools. The schools were SK Taman Utama, SK Sungai Kapar Indah, SK Bukit Tinggi, and SK Sungai Udang. A total of 30 students from B40 families were selected from each school.

For those who may be unaware, the B40 income group is otherwise known as the Bottom 40% of the Malaysian household income. Most of those from this income group had been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with some families being pushed to this category due to income reduction and loss of employment.

For this program, we provided each selected student with a Hari Raya goodie bag, which consisted of mixed nuts, “kuih raya”, mini rice cubes, rendang paste, peanut sauce, peanut candy, dates, and carbonated drinks. Most of the food items mentioned above are traditional Eid foods that are enjoyed by the Malaysian population each year. Each student also received a RM10.00 “duit raya” or Eid token as part of the celebration.
