SERUM Initiative - Phase 2

THE PROBLEM

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, hand sanitisers and face masks became a daily necessity for us. While we might be privileged enough to have sufficient supplies, many underserved communities do not have adequate access due to the logistical and financial barriers. The inaccessibility of healthcare supplies among underserved communities such as the urban poor and refugees causes a risk in COVID-19 outspread. We believe that no one should be left out in the equation, and everyone should have an equal chance of preventing COVID-19 outspread.

THE SOLUTION

For our Phase 2, SERUM aims to provide hand sanitisers and reusable face masks for 3,500 beneficiaries from underserved communities such as urban poor and refugees across Malaysia. For every RM10 donated: RM5 is utilised to provide 50ml hand sanitiser; another RM5 for a reusable face mask (made by the refugee artisan who we empowered previously). Therefore, each donation creates 2 layers of impact: health and economic impacts.

SERUM also collaborates closely with NGOs and social enterprises on-the-ground to ensure each of the supplies is channeled to the communities that are truly in need. 

During Phase 1, SERUM has:

• Successfully raised RM 16141.91 💥 
• Impacted almost 3,000 beneficiaries, ranging from refugees to, urban poor, rural poor, single mother and OKU ⛑
• Provided 8,250 disposable face masks, 950 reusable face masks, and over 230L of hand sanitisers 😷
• Helped reopen 6 working centres and 3 learning centre for the refugee children 💪
• 57 young fundraisers joined and upskilled via our program 👩‍🎓
• Partnered with 8 small businesses and secured 1 corporate sponsorship 🏬

THE IMPACT

3,500 underserved beneficiaries will receive 50ml of hand sanitisers and 1 piece of reusable face masks per person. This will further prevent the spread of COVID-19 among the dense population, ensuring everyone has an equal chance of preventing the outspread. 

In addition, our refugee artisan who makes the reusable face masks will also receive around RM 17,500 from their hard work.
