GIFT A LYFE 2.0

THE PROBLEM

The underserved communities have been the ones affected the most by the COVID-19 outbreak together with the recent flood happening in Malaysia. The underprivileged homes and disabled centres are currently struggling with financial difficulties to cover their daily expenses with the additional cost of essentials such as face masks, sanitation items and educational materials for the children. These homes and centres are receiving fewer funds and donations due to the economic crisis caused by the virus. Furthermore, some of the unfortunate families have been affected by the flood and needing aid to recover from the natural disaster.

THE SOLUTION

To lend a helping hand to the underserved community, AIESEC in Heriot-Watt University Malaysia aspires to help fundraise for the centres to care for the children in these trying times through our virtual initiatives to assist these communities financially and engage the children virtually to build an inclusive community.
