DIALOG will continue to serve the interest of the community at large as
well as the interest of the communities in which we work and live.
The recent adoption of the MyKasih Foundation provides an avenue for
DIALOG to contribute its funds allocated for community initiatives to the MyKasih
‘Love My Neighbourhood’ programme initiated by the Foundation. The
programme taps on a leading edge technology to ensure a more efficient
delivery of welfare aid to the poor and needy by ensuring that every ringgit
donated will be channeled in full to the recipients in terms of aid provided.
The technology payment solution is developed by ePetrol Holding Sdn Bhd and uses MyKad as a payment
tool.
The MyKasih ‘Love My Neighbourhood’ programme recognises that community
services should not stop at food aid. It will also focus on the need to rehabilitate
the poor and needy through training on financial literacy and budgeting as
well as education for the children to break the poverty cycle.
DIALOG came on board as the first corporate donor to provide funding
for the programme reaching out to the communities in Selayang, Selangor and
an orang asli community at Janda Baik, Pahang. A total of 75 families were
sponsored amounting to RM100,000 with the support of Caltex Selayang petrol station as the first retail partner.
The programme will also be extended to communities
where DIALOG operates for instance in Kertih, Melaka, Nilai,
Banting, Johor and Labuan.
