Shell Invites Malaysians To Help With Helping Underprivileged Children
Shell wants to make a difference to the lives of underprivileged children and invites all Malaysians to join in. The Shell Raya Charity Campaign 2018 is in its fourth year with an increase in the donation value to up to 2 sen for every litre of fuel pumped. Shell will donate 1 sen from every litre of fuel pumped at any of its service stations nationwide, while an additional 1 sen per litre will come from Mastercard for every time a Shell customer makes payment with a Mastercard.
The Shell Raya Charity Campaign will be active on 26 May (tomorrow), 2 June and 9 – 14 June 2018.
Since the start of the Shell Raya Charity Campaign in 2015, this initiative has focused on capacity building for underprivileged children and has helped fund educational programmes, renovate facilities and upgrade office equipment, with the help of Malaysian motorists.
This year, the funds will be donated to seven selected charitable organisations across the country; The Kalsom Movement (Nationwide), Yayasan Chow Kit (Klang Valley), Majlis Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Malaysia (East Coast, North, South), Project T.R.Y (Transforming Rural Youth, Sabah), Pertubuhan Ibu Bapa Kanak-Kanak Keperluan Istimewa Sarawak, Montfort Youth Training Centre (Sabah), and HAUS (Sarawak).
“Shell’s mission is to make life’s journeys better for all Malaysians, by offering high quality fuels and making a positive impact in the communities where we operate. Children are the future of our nation, and we believe in supporting those in need to help them achieve their full potential. Through the generous support of Malaysians over the past 3 years, we have made a difference in the lives of over 5,200 underprivileged children.” said Shairan Huzani Husain, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd and Shell Timur Sdn Bhd.
He added that this year, Mastercard has also decided to join the program. “Shell is proud to have Mastercard as an exclusive partner for the Shell Raya Charity Campaign 2018. We are confident that together with Malaysian motorists, we can empower more children and give them hope for a brighter future”, said Shairan.
Perry Ong, Country Manager, Malaysia and Brunei, Mastercard echoed the sentiment, “Mastercard is honoured to collaborate with Shell on a campaign that gives back to the community during one of Malaysia’s key festive seasons. This initiative underscores Mastercard’s commitment to support important causes such as children’s development as part of its global Priceless Causes effort which brings together partners and cardholders to do good. Donations will play a part in supporting the provision of school meals as an essential form of nourishment for children’s wellbeing. Additionally, cardholders can also make charitable contributions via the Mastercard Donations Platform, a digital platform which lets people donate conveniently and safely.”
