2005 Charity Fund to Aid Needy Children

The balance from the 2005 Charity Fund will go towards helping needy children. NECF Malaysia, which initiated and manages the fund, has identified several areas of assistance to the children:

  • Education – textbooks, school uniform, school fees, transportation to school and others;
  • Nutrition – meals and vitamins and others;
  • Health – hospital expenses; and
  • Other legitimate areas of need

To date, close to RM500,000 has been collected and the funds are still coming in. Of this, NECF Malaysia has donated RM100,000 to the Pakistan earthquake victims.

The Charity Fund is part of the yearly Lighting Up Our Nation programme held during the Merdeka period where participants of the 40-day National Fast and Prayer donate the money saved from skipping their meals.

Last year, NECF gave away the entire 2004 Charity Fund to improve the quality of education and 33 schools were selected as beneficiaries. In choosing the beneficiaries, NECF works with local churches, which will nominate the suitable people or establishment to receive the assistance. This way, the churches will be able to continue to serve their community.
