Embrace this Ramadhan by helping our kids’ families break their fast

THE PROBLEM

As a part of this sacred season, empathising and aiding the needs of the less fortunate has always been one of the beautiful themes it follows. With that, we at Yayasan Chow Kit would like to give you the opportunity to contribute to the lives of the needy in our community this Ramadhan.

In addition to providing educational and co-curricular activities access to children and teenagers, we also provide food to ensure that our students are receiving sufficient nourishment.

These individuals come from less fortunate but loving backgrounds and their families do as much as they can to provide with whatever little they may have. Just like many of us who practice the Muslim faith this Ramadhan, they too would be fasting this month but with the Covid-19 regulations in place, things will be a little different.

We along with many generous others used to be able to run a spread for these kids and their families to break their fast which really took a massive burden off from their shoulders. This time around, they would have to be conducting the breaking of their fast from the confines of their homes and with the resources they have.

However, with your help, they will receive groceries and supplies to sustain the needs of their families to allow them to have the breaking of their fast be as sufficient as it deserves to be while having a modest spread at home similar to what the rest of the country would enjoy in harmony.

THE SOLUTION

What your donation would do and how it would help our kids

Your generous donations count to make a difference with every ringgit no less than the other. To be precise, every food pack for a single child comes up to cost RM10 for each kid among the 100 that we treasure and raise in our community. The food pack will be sufficient for a single evening’s breaking fast. Every day of the 27 days of Ramadhan will require a pack for each child of ours and we will be giving them something no less than what many of us will be embracing this Ramadhan during Iftar.

Just like all of us, their gains become the gains of their families. Such a notion is evident when we see the families of these children have their faces filled with joy and graciousness when they see the hunger in their childrens’ eyes turn into satiation and comfort.

Many a time, this would be enough of a blessing for them on Ramadhan. This time around however, it is especially clear to us that it can be far better for them as well for what they went through in the recent events that threatened many of our finances let alone theirs. Their financial situation was not only affecting their livelihood like it did for many of us, but also was a threat to their survivability with food becoming more of a compromise than ever for them to sustain their shelters as well as water and other basic needs after losing their income.

THE IMPACT

With that, you would also be contributing to a food aid to their families to provide them with more funds and resources to sustain themselves relatively comfortably till Raya Aidilfitri this year. Each family would receive a 150 Ringgit food aid this month to help them ease the burden of their food concerns to allow them to focus on more pressing matters as well as what matters most to them, their families.

Our target for the breaking fast drive for our kids will be RM 27,000 given that each pack will be RM10 for 100 kids for 27 days.

Our target goal to reach for the food aid drive for their families would be RM15,000, given that each of the one hundred families registered with us would be given RM150 worth of groceries and supplies. This therefore brings our goal of this hunger extinguishing campaign to RM42,000 to bring the children of Chow Kit the Ramadhan and Raya Aidilfitri they and their families deserve.

Donating is really simple and secure. The money will directly go to Yayasan Chow Kit.

Our thank you’s can only go so far to show our gratitude to the great value you bring to our society with your generous donations. After being involved with these children and their lives for so many years, we can certainly see how much of a difference it makes for them as well as their families that support them with what they can afford to.
