Fashion For Love - Supporting Children to School

Fashion For Love - Supporting Children to School

A community educational fund raising project, organized by The Giving Bank together with Creight Event & Services and the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development has organized an event under the theme of “Fashion for Love”.  With a slogan, “Supporting Children to School”.

These children are from a poor family background and their parents could not afford to send their kids to school. Because these kids are not being exposed to education, the chances of them learning and being able to feed themselves or being independent is relatively low. The cycle of poverty and the relation to being a less fortunate will never end and it will continue for generations to come. The only way to fight this is to give the children hope, giving them an equal chance of education exposure, grow up well and leading them to decent employment. With such, the scenario will change to a positive structure.

"Knowledge is Power. Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Help those who need help in their education. Only by doing this will society progress, become harmonious and stable" said Dr. Janson Ang Founder of The Giving Bank

Objective of the Project

The project is held with a simple objective. The mission is to raise funds from the public community to serve and cater 300 multi racial children in need. The organizers believe everyone deserves an equal right to education. Going to school and seeking education is a very important element at every stage of growth. This will give the child hope and a chance to experience something that they’ve never experienced before and help them become useful members of the society. The organizers are here together, to bring love and happiness to these children. They want to bring joy to the children and want this to be special and meaningful. They want them to know that many people out there are loving them.

They have started to build the team and its formation gearing towards the total planning since August 2017, and they have arrived to a stage in having our Press Conference on 22 September 2017 gearing towards the main highlight in October 8th 2017 at HGH Convention Centre said Mr. Simon Goh, Founder of Creight Events.

They are raising the educational funds, and it will lead to the official giving ceremony. The solicitation of this total campaign will go to the respective schools having the headmaster and school PIBG committees to monitor. The beneficiaries of these 300 children will be able to use the funds to pay for their school fees, or to purchase items such as books, stationary, school uniforms, school bags and shoes.

Under this pillar, The Giving Bank focuses on giving low-income groups a chance to receive basic needs of education. It creates opportunities for these groups to enjoy club activities in schools or gain conventional skills enhancement for their future. We believe everyone should have equal rights to education and it is very crucial and important for their future well-being.

Health

The Giving Bank aims at providing low-income groups access to medical aids and treatments and health screenings. At the same time, the organisation also will work towards creating programmes on health awareness and safety skills for communities and students.

The Giving Bank also strives to strengthen and develop humanity, cultural knowledge and resources. This is to help communities to understand various cultures and religions in Malaysia for the greater good. These will be done through promotions and preservation activities on culture and heritage all around Malaysia.
