Our effort to combat hunger continues!
Charity Right has distributed food aid to 60 underprivileged families in Taman Bunga Raya, Bukit
Beruntung who are in need of food assistance. Most of the beneficiaries this time are from B40
families, the asnaf and families affected by Covid-19.
It’s heart-warming to see the smiles on their face when receiving the food aid and alhamdulillah
this is made possible thanks to our donors, supporters and volunteers.
9th January 2021: Our effort to save underprivileged families in rural areas from hunger during this pandemic continued.
This time, we distributed our food aid boxes to 40 underprivileged families in Kg. Soeharto,
Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor. These families need our assistance because their livelihood is
affected by control movement measures and some are unable to work a normal job because of
their disabilities.
Alhamdulillah, we’re really grateful for the tremendous support we’ve received from our
followers, donors and volunteers in providing food aid to those in need and saving them from
hunger.
16th February 2021: More food aid has been distributed to 60 underprivileged families in Taman Junta Kuala Kubu Bharu. Reaching Rural project focus on providing aid for beneficiaries this time are from B40 families, the asnaf, and families affected by Covid-19.
It’s heart-warming to see the smiles on their face when receiving the food aid and alhamdulillah this is made possible thanks to our donors, supporters and volunteers.
In collaboration with Mercy Mission Malaysia, 20 underprivileged families from SK Bukit Jalil have benefited from our food aid and hygiene kits. We were informed by the school’s counselling teacher that she had reached out to students on why they were not attending the online classes.
Hunger, due to food insecurity is a real issue as the teacher found out that many kids didn’t have devices for online learning and had no food to eat. Hopefully, this will ease the education journey for the children and they can now hopefully study without being hungry.
19 – 22 February 2021
In collaboration with Mercy Mission Malaysia, we have provided personal protective equipments, face masks and hand sanitisers to 18 schools in Hulu, Selangor for SPM 2020 students. Each school received:
a. 10 boxes of hand sanitisers
b. 10 boxes of face masks
c. 5 litres of hand sanitisers
Most beneficiaries are underprivileged students and they could not afford to buy new face masks every day. This initiative was taken by Charity Right and Mercy Mission Malaysia to curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus and to ensure that the students can sit one of the most important exams in their life with ease.
Our efforts to fight against hunger continue!
With the prolonged MCO in Selangor and KL, more underprivileged families are living with hunger & surviving on one meal a day. In collaboration with Rise Against Hunger, we have distributed 40 boxes of food aid to 60 underprivileged families from SK Desa Petaling and Kampung Orang Asli Sg Bumbun Pulau Carey Selangor.
These food boxes consist of a rice-dhal fortified meal, which will provide a balanced & nutritious meal for a family.

If somebody approached us and asked us what we’d been grateful for today, I’m sure many of us would think about the bigger blessings we have in life, like: our spouse, our job, wealth etc. But, when was the last time we were grateful for the ‘smaller’ things in our lives? The clean water we drink, heating during winter, or, simply, a door. Yes, a door in our houses.
On a visit to Sudan, I met an elderly man living in a simple mud hut. Inside the hut he had an old bed with a torn mattress, a water can and a stick to help him walk and that was it. Aside from the clothes he was wearing and the slippers on his feet, he had no other belongings.
His name was Ahmed.
His wife had passed away and he had a 13-year-old son. Ahmed suffers from severe migraine and like many others around him, he was a refugee with no job, no income and very little food.
We spoke to Ahmed and informed him that Charity Right would take care of his food needs going forward, God willing. He thanked us but looking at his condition, we were all moved and we asked him if there was anything else we could do for him?
Almost embarrassingly he turned to us and said: “Praise be to God, I have been given this hut but since the beginning, there is no door installed so when it rains, the water floods the hut and at night, mosquitoes and other insects come inside. I would be grateful if you could arrange for a door to be installed.”
Upon hearing this, one would think, like we did, that installing a door would be expensive hence none was installed for him. How wrong we were. We enquired and found that it would only cost £25 to install a door for him! Straight away almost everyone who was with me volunteered to cover the cost.
Upon hearing that he would soon have a door, Ahmed’s face broke into the most beautiful of smiles. It was as if his whole life had changed due to a door which was going to cost £25.
Just let that sink in for a moment.
Every single person in the hut that day walked out with a smile on their faces and a warm feeling which they’ll carry around with them for the rest of their lives.
So, what little blessing will YOU be grateful for today?
