An annual charity programme has committed over RM2.22mil this year to uplift underserved communities via small businesses.

 

“Harapan Ramadan” led by CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd and CIMB Foundation aims to reach over 45,000 beneficiaries.

 

The programme hopes to engage 100 neighbourhood general stores near distribution areas nationwide to supply food box items.

This reinforces local supply chains while providing essential aid to those in need, the foundation said in a media statement.

 

In addition to food distribution, the project is fostering entrepreneurship by providing RM1,000 in seed funding to 50 asnaf micro-entrepreneurs, helping them to launch sustainable businesses during Ramadan.

 

The recipients include alumni from its flagship iTEKAD entrepreneurship programme and residents of adopted People’s Housing Projects (PPR).

 

CIMB Islamic and CIMB Foun­dation chief executive Ahmad Shahriman Mohd Shariff said the programme reflected their commitment to uplifting communities in a meaningful and sustainable way.
