Shell pledging to raise money for five charities

On the 14th, 16th and 18th of July, for every litre of fuel pumped at any Shell station across Malaysia, the company will donate 1 sen (RM0.01) to charities supporting underprivileged children in Malaysia.

Tuan Haji Azman Ismail, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd. and Shell Timur Sdn. Bhd, shares the inspiration behind the campaign, “This season, the best gift we can give to the underprivileged children is the gift of a meaningful future. The reality is, to many of them, dreams such as finishing school, getting a job, or using their talents are out of reach given their current circumstances. Through this campaign, we hope to create a platform for Malaysians to inspire them to believe in life’s possibilities because they are not alone and there are a lot of people who care about them.”

Through this campaign, Shell aims to raise a minimum of RM500,000 through this campaign, which will then be distributed to five selected charitable organisations, namely The Budimas Charitable Foundation, The Nasi Lemak Project, Yayasan Chow Kit, Persatuan Kebajikan Pendidikan Kanak-Kanak Miskin (Sabah) and Yayasan Kemajuan Insan Sarawak. The money will be used to support development programmes that will encourage children to learn new skills and develop their fullest potential.

In addition to this, Shell, along with its selected charitable organisations, is developing a long-term programme which will allow Shell staff, their families, retailers and business partners to actively participate in the initiatives.

“We believe that every contribution, when joined with the rest of the community, will make a real difference in the lives of these children. We hope that the simple act of filling up your tank will make your travel home more meaningful and also inspire you to share this charity drive with your family and friends,” added Tuan Haji Azman.

In the spirit of sharing this festive season, Shell is also encouraging the public to participate in a fun, light-hearted online challenge to help raise awareness about Shell’s three-day charity campaign. Simply known as #pump141618, popular bloggers and personalities have started the challenge of “pumping” or doing push-ups for underprivileged children in Malaysia and in turn, are tagging their friends and loved ones to take on the challenge. This charity campaign is also supported by FlyFM, OneFM and HotFM.
