KUCHING: A total of 100 families from three villages, namely Kampung Beradek, Kampung Semilang, and Kampung Tiang Api have received food basket donations in preparation for the holy month of Ramadan.
As part of the Yayasan Kebajikan Negara (YKN) Ramadan Kasih Programme, YKN has partnered with Sunway Group to provide corporate social responsibility to the community.
The Minister of Women, Family, and Community Development Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri was present to provide assistance to the residents and launch the program.
According to Nancy, “Sunway Group sponsored the food basket donations, amounting to RM83,000 for the asnaf families in these three villages. This food supply assistance can help ease their burden in preparing for breaking the fast and suhoor.”
