The focus of the charity is on helping disadvantaged groups through food aid and education. The foundation runs two cashless welfare programmes, namely the MyKasih ‘Love My Neighbourhood’ food aid programme, and the MyKasih ‘Love My School’ student bursary programme. Essential aid has become a critical lifeline for many households that were suddenly left without any income following the Covid-19 outbreak, which led to the imposition of the MCO. “Since the foundation’s establishment, we have channelled RM280 million worth of aid to more than 300,000 families and students nationwide. The foundation believes its cashless welfare distribution system has the potential to help improve Malaysia’s social aid distribution.
