Transforming the Lives of Children Help put computers in the hands of our most disadvantaged children to support their online learning classes. With schoolchildren kept away from schools once again under MCO 3.0, children from low-income families are struggling to keep up with online lessons due to the lack of devices and internet connections. Education is a fundamental right, and no child should be left behind simply because they lack the necessary tools. Our Mission "Kids Need Computers" aims to change this reality by setting an ambitious target of supplying 1,000 tablets to families in need. These tablets will be a beacon of hope, enabling children to participate in online classes and continue their education uninterrupted. A single tablet can benefit multiple children within a family, making each donation have a profound and lasting impact. How You Can Help We ask the public to donate generously to this cause. A donation of RM 850 will purchase a tablet equipped with a prepaid chip for three months of usage. By donating one unit, you are not just giving a device; you are providing a gateway to knowledge, opportunities, and a brighter future for these children. Why It Matters The ongoing pandemic has highlighted the digital divide, with children from low-income families being the hardest hit. Without access to computers or the internet, these children risk falling behind their peers, widening the educational gap. By providing tablets, we are giving them the tools they need to succeed in their studies and beyond. The Multiplier Effect Each tablet donated has the potential to serve multiple children in a household, amplifying the positive impact of your contribution. This means your generosity will not just change one life but can touch the lives of several children, fostering an environment where learning and growth are possible. Join Us We are calling on the Malaysian public to open their hearts and contribute to this noble cause. Your donation can make a significant difference in the lives of children who need it the most. Together, we can ensure that no child is left behind in their educational journey. Help us reach our goal of 1,000 tablets. Donate now and be a part of this transformative initiative. Your kindness can light up the path to a better future for our children. Every contribution counts. Together, we can make a difference.

Our representative Dato' Fatimah Saad was part of the Flood Relief efforts and personally went to deliver the essential supplies. Here's a write up below from Dato'.  I was incredibly fortunate to lead the recent Flood Relief Drive organized by the National Council of Women's Organizations (NCWO). Today, we successfully delivered 68 boxes of essential supplies to flood victims in Kota Tinggi, Johor, through the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA). We're also planning to deliver more boxes to those affected in Pahang later this week. These boxes contain vital items like diapers, sanitary napkins, detergents, headscarves (tudung), underwear for women, and hygiene kits. All of this was made possible thanks to the incredible generosity of individuals, companies, and other non-profit organizations who donated to our cause. A special thank you to KCTTDI for their generous cash donation."

The warm spirit of the holiday season once again brought us to our annual Christmas visit to the Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah in Klang. This tradition has become an essential part of our holiday celebrations, where we aim to spread joy and hope to the pediatric patients and staff during this festive time. This year will be a special year as we have 11 Taiwan district Kiwanians joining us the visit. It is an honour to have the Governor of Taiwan district and our Governor of Malaysia district to assist us in this event. As we entered the hospital, we were greeted by the Head Nurse Sister Matron Anne, she has done a fantastic arrangement by getting the hospital security to usher the bus of our Taiwan delegates into the hospital and getting her nurses to arrange and allocate the presents to the wards. While we were entering the ward, there stands a beautiful Christmas tree filled with beautiful twinkling lights and festive decorations that adorned the hallways. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement. As we walk in to the pediatric wards, we see children faces lit up with smiles as we handed out the gifts. The joy and laughter that filled the room were truly heart-warming. Some of us had a casual chat with the parents who were spending the holidays in the hospital taking care of the child. We shared stories and offered words of encouragement. It was touching to see how our presence brought a sense of comfort and companionship to those who needed it the most. The staff members, who work tirelessly to provide care and support, were also not forgotten. We made sure to express our gratitude for their dedication and hard work throughout the year by giving them some nice chocolates. As we concluded our visit, we couldn't help but reflect on the importance of giving back to the community. This annual tradition reminds us of the power of compassion and the difference we can make in the lives of others. It's not just about the gifts or the festivities, but about the connections we forge and the hope we bring. We look forward to continuing this cherished tradition in the years to come, knowing that our small acts of kindness can create lasting impacts. Merry Christmas to all, and may the spirit of the season continue to inspire us to spread love and joy wherever we go.
