This KH8 fundraising campaign is to spread awareness about the plight underprivileged communities in Malaysia are facing as a result of the pandemic lockdown. This is a chance to practice empathy in a time of social isolation by helping ensure more people do not endure starvation. This act of kindness would hopefully contribute to reducing the surge in suicide cases as of late.
To contribute as much as we can to Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR)'s goal of RM 200,000 with assistance from our KH8 community: students, parents and teachers.
It is an NGO founded primarily to help refugees and migrants cope in Malaysia. They have been actively helping these communities gain access to the Internet, education and healthcare. Since the pandemic, they have been offering support to over 12,000 refugee families, as well as Malaysians within the B40 community.
COVID-19-related aid from RFTR is in the form of groceries. Their relief initiative is in partnership with Malaysia Muda, another NGO.
RFTR Infopgraphic.pdfThis NGO uniquely serves as a platform for us to alleviate the plight of both refugees and migrants and Malaysians badly affected by the lockdown. RFTR is a trustworthy organisation founded in 2012 by Heidy Quah and she has been directly involved in these fundraising efforts involving a total of over 10,000 families. She also had the opportunity of speaking to and sharing her work with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate in March 2021.
The funds will be donated to RFTR as a contribution to their campaign to raise RM 200,000 to support 3,500 families with food aid for the next 6 months.
As of February 2021, they have successfully raised RM 56,000.
Kindly consider supporting RFTR's cause by donating to them directly. You do not have to be a part of the KH8 community to support our cause.
Consider also the possibility to donate often after our KH8 fundraising campaign ends to show sustained support to RFTR, or any other NGO. Please continue to spread awareness and self-educate about the situation many less fortunate people are facing, and help where you can.
