Festive Giving and the Power of Donation Matching: Step-by-Step Guide to Donate via Sokong
The festive season is a time of joy, love, and togetherness—the perfect time to reflect and reach out to those in need. Through the power of compassion, a single act of kindness, no matter how big or small, can spark a wave of positive change. This year, join the HEINEKEN Cares donation matching initiative on the Sokong platform, where your donations will have an even greater impact!
For every RM10 you donate, HEINEKEN Cares will match it with an additional RM40, turning your RM10 into a RM50 contribution. This powerful matching initiative maximises the impact of your donation, ensuring it reaches even more people in need.
And the best part? 100% of all funds raised will go directly to the projects and beneficiaries you’re supporting, ensuring your contribution has a lasting impact.
How HEINEKEN Cares’ Donation Matching Works
The donation matching program is simple yet powerful:
- You donate RM10.
- HEINEKEN Cares adds RM40.
- Together, your contribution becomes RM50.
“Through our donation matching initiative, we aim to multiply the generosity of individuals, ensuring every contribution goes further in supporting those in need. It’s our way of giving back and amplifying the spirit of giving during this special time of year.”– HEINEKEN Malaysia Berhad
The Impact of Your Donation: Projects Under HEINEKEN Cares 2024
Your donations will fund four impactful projects under HEINEKEN Cares 2024, each focused on empowering communities and creating lasting change. Here’s a brief look at each project:
Hopes Malaysia - Sustainable Clean Water for Kampung Naragai Tuguson Families
The rural village of Kampung Naragai Tuguson in Kota Belud, Sabah struggles with a decaying gravity water system that has been in disrepair for decades. Hopes Malaysia is working to repair and reconstruct this vital system, to provide 41 families in this B40 community with reliable access to sufficient clean water for their daily needs and lasting sustainable livelihoods.
“Access to clean water is a fundamental need that many of us take for granted. This empowering collaboration will help underprivileged families in Kampung Naragai Tuguson build a sustainable future where clean water is always available for them to thrive, not just survive.” – Aaron Bosuang, Public Relations Executive of Hopes Malaysia
SIROM - Empowering Orang Asli through Sustainable Farming
SIROM is transforming the lives of Orang Asli communities in Bentong by teaching them sustainable farming techniques such as aquaponics and vermicomposting. These methods provide a steady food source and a new income stream for families. Supporting this project will empower 10 families, including youth, women, and single mothers, to become self-sufficient.
“Through aquaponics and vermiculture, we’re providing the Orang Asli community with sustainable ways to feed their families and create new economic opportunities.” – Soroptimist International Region of Malaysia (SIROM)
MyKasih Foundation - Food Aid for Desa Mentari
MyKasih Foundation helps B40 families in Desa Mentari by providing them with RM200 via MyKad to purchase essential food items. This initiative ensures families have access to nutritious food during challenging times. Your contribution directly supports families in need, helping them put food on the table this festive season.
“Food security is a basic human right, and this project ensures that families in need have access to nutritious food when they need it most.” – MyKasih Foundation
PWD Smart FarmAbility - Growing Fresh Food, Empowering Communities
PWD Smart FarmAbility is transforming the lives of Klang Valley’s B40 communities and persons with disabilities by establishing regenerative soil-U-tion aquaponic satellite farms that produce fresh, organic vegetables and fish. This initiative promotes self-sufficiency, reduces food insecurity, and fosters a deeper connection between communities and sustainable living practices.
With your support, these innovative farms can continue to expand, ensuring access to nutritious, affordable food for families in need while nurturing skills, independence, and environmental stewardship.
