Many underprivileged students in Malaysia whose families cannot afford to pay for internet services are unable to access their online education. Many of these families are refugees themselves. The goal is to ensure that students can access their essential education during lockdown, and to foster a culture of support between communities during this pandemic. The money raised in our ‘Dear Malaysia’ campaign will be donated to the Malaysian charities Dignity for Children and Yayasan Chow Kit. What makes our campaign unique is that the donors and the recipients of the donations have the opportunity to send correspondence to each other, thus building human connection at a time when many people’s mental wellbeing have been affected by lockdowns and the pandemic.
