The Story

Hi, I'm Clement! I'm currently a virtual volunteer for Southern Youth Leadership Conference 10.0 (SYLC 10.0) organised by AIESEC in Johor Bahru. I'm also a first-year mechanical engineering student studying in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru. 

Our project, which is the Southern Youth Leadership Conference 10.0 (SYLC 10.0) is targeting the 8th sustainable development goals set by the United Nations, which is the decent work and economic growth and to be precise, we are targetting the unemployment issue that is happening in Johor Bahru. 

The unemployment issue in Johor Bahru has risen up to 3.5% following the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving many people with loss of income and this has caused more and more people to fall into the B40 group or even worse below the poverty line. As of 2020, Malaysia poverty rate has increased up to 8.4%. This will bring more problem to the economic and social growth of Malaysia.

Hence, to reduce the impact of this underlying issue, our project comes up with an initiative to raise fund for the Connect.ED project where the fund rasied will be channeled to purchasing digital devices for the B40 students to help them in their online learning amid the pandemic as well as for information searching which will help in their studies!

I hope you can help us raise fund for them to empower them. It doesn't matter how much you donate as any amount will make an impact to them. Also share with your friends and family to encourage them to fund our campaign!

With here I sincerely thank you for helping out, be it in terms of donation or sharing with your loved ones or both!! Also stay safe and have a great day!
