1. What is AHAM Cares all about?AHAM Cares is a fundraiser initiative set up in 2020, as part of our efforts to provide relief to various charity homes, non-profit organisations, and communities whose livelihoods were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Last year, we successfully raise a collective RM380,000 from the support of clients, employees, and the general public. The fund’s raised were donated to 13 different charity organisations.
Given the current situation and the ongoing lockdowns in place, we believe it is only right for us do our part again in lending a helping hand to affected communities nationwide. This includes extending aid for underprivileged groups through various approved charity organisations, as well as support to healthcare workers that are currently serving on the front lines. All proceeds raised from this fundraiser will be donated in full.
