Take part in this innovative initiative in helping out Malaysian communities-in-need and Social Enterprises (“SE”) during COVID-19! The Glam-Mask is an Auction item here to seek donations to support, The Social Enterprise SustainabilityInitiative (“SESI”). View the Official Fundraising Campaign

SESI is an initiative in a collaboration between SocioBiz by Alliance Islamic Bank; Citrine Capital, an impact investor; MaGIC, a governmental agency supporting SE efforts; and NGOhub, as the charity partner. This initiative is a true reflection of our Malaysian spirit, forging partnerships to solve social issues.

By bringing in the touch of colour & creativity, Komuniti Tukang Jahit (“KTJ”) has created The Glam-Mask and bid it for an auction to help raise funds to support the kind gesture of these associations.

Coming all together, these partners have only one goal in mind – and it is to provide aid to the communities-in-need. So please,take part in this quirky yet fun bidding war and let’s the game begin.

P.S. To those whom wishes to donate regardless the outcome of the auction, please do so! Every donation counts!

Many B40 communities are largely dependent on job opportunities in SMEs and the informal sector. Unfortunately, the current Movement Control Order (“MCO”) renders these sectors to a standstill or even shut down. This has left many with no job and no income. They also do not have access to financial support and have a higher risk of contracting the virus due to their living conditions. They are already vulnerable before COVID-19, and now they may be the most affected ones.

This unique initiative creates double impact.Your support enables SEs to continue operating, providing income to their employees and/or vendors. At the same time, essential products or services procured from SEs will be channelled to affected communities. It’s a win-win situation for everyone

A great example of this initiative isKomuniti Tukang Jahit, Malaysia’s First Social Enterprise Corporate Gifts Manufacturer. Their work can be seen in the pictures below.

This initiative is supported by trusted partners and promotes transparency.Your donations to this initiative will be managed by and channelled through SocioBiz. You can trust your donations to go straight to verified SEs to provide assistance to our communities in-need,at zero feesas Alliance Islamic Bank will bear all campaign charges. Plus, you will be updated on their progress regularly!
