Life took a turn for the better after she participated in a community development programme organised by Yayasan Sejahtera.The success of the woman brought smiles to Tan Sri Faizah Mohd Tahir and her team at Yayasan Sejahtera.
The foundation, she said, believes that poverty is not only about the lack of economic opportunities but also involved unfulfilled basic food needs, as well as inadequate access to water supply, electricity, sanitation, healthcare and education.The programmes have benefited 12,986 people in Kelantan, Sabah and Sarawak, as well as families in Kuala Lumpur.
The growth achieved by the country brought about another issue, which is urban poverty. This compelled the foundation to launch its plan on urban poverty alleviation. “In addressing concerns related to education development among children at the PPR, the foundation collaborated with a school and provided tuition classes for English and Mathematics.”
“If there are any problems faced by the participants, they will report to us and we will come up with a solution.“The foundation is sincere in helping them earn a better living.” Faizah said experts and researchers will discuss trends, implications and possible actions to help the poor. “The foundation is transparent and responsible for every sen spent on the programmes,” she said, adding that the foundation is audited by external auditors, including the Inland Revenue Board.Malaysia has made significant strides to reduce hardcore poverty. While extreme poverty is considered to have been addressed, relative poverty in urban and rural areas remains a challenge.
