Project: Charity is Unity I & II (2007-2008)

Project Manager: Nur Atiqah binti Zainuddin and Mohd Taufiq (former)

For the past seven years, SIFE UNITEN have successfully organized programs with the Rumah Amal Cahaya Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (RACTAR). These programs were meant to teach the children more about the entrepreneurships that we believe will later benefit them in their life. Based on the success of the previous activities, we have decided to continue with the program by conducting ‘Charity is Unity I & II’, that include awareness about the state of the environment, entrepreneurship skills, and self-promotion.

We realized that majority of the orphans have a very low self confidence in themselves and most of them cannot perform in their education in school. Thus, we decided to organize programs that could help the children builds some confidence in them. The module created would help them know how to work in a team, enhance their managing skills, teach them on how to organize programs and most importantly help them to understand about entrepreneurship which is very important for them as these are the skills they will acquire in the future to support themselves.

OBJECTIVES OF PROGRAM
  • To expose to the orphans about entrepreneurial skills and business management according to their level of understanding.
  • To help the orphanage to promote their products and services.
  • To guide the orphans on how to organize events, since some of the participants will be entering high level education institution.
  • To increase the awareness of the public about those who needs the attention in welfare homes and orphanage.
  • To expose the public about Program Sihat Untuk Remaja (PROSTAR).
  • To expose the public about environment and public health awareness.
DESCRIPTION

In these one-day events (for both years) that were conducted in the Astaka, Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur, the orphans had an ice-breaking session before they were divided into groups for the activities. The activities were conducted around the Taman Tasik Titiwangsa and were based on theirs entrepreneurial skills and knowledge on environment which had been taught by us during monthly visits at their homes.

This event was also meant to promote their tailor service which they have been doing it for the past five years. We also introduced a special blog which was created by the SIFE students during the launching ceremony and to be updated by themselves. The main objective of creating the blog is to form a free advertising platform for RACTAR to help widen their markets and improving their marketing strategy.

As for the environment awareness, we distributed car’s stickers to public which promoting ‘Say No to Plastic Bags’. Apart from that, the Program Sihat Untuk Remaja (PROSTAR) booth will help boost public health awareness by offering public to take part in blood test, BMI test and others.This event also in hope to educate the public about their responsibilities to the children and to expose the public with charity works. Public that came had better understanding in the orphans and their orphanage, as well as the PROSTAR program.
