Campaign Story
Empowering Lives: Support Micro-Entrepreneurs in Need
Yayasan Sejahtera (YS) is a Malaysian NGO dedicated to empowering low-income households through tailored support, including capacity building and equipment assistance.
This campaign, in collaboration with Alliance Islamic Bank, highlights micro-entrepreneurs from our programmes who are determined to grow their businesses despite facing significant challenges. Many of them were severely impacted by the 2021 Hulu Langat floods, which disrupted their livelihoods. They continue to persevere but need additional resources to achieve sustainable incomes.
Through the Alliance Islamic Bank SocioBiz, we aim to raise MYR80,000 to provide the financial and equipment support these entrepreneurs need to rebuild and thrive. For every MYR10 you contribute, the Bank will match it 1:2, turning your donation into MYR30, up to a total matching fund of MYR30,000.
All donations are tax-exempt under LHDN Income Tax Act Section 44(6).
Thank you for helping us empower lives and build brighter futures. Learn more about Yayasan Sejahtera at https://sejahtera.my/.

Story 1
Since 2019, Puan Siti Nur Aishah, 32, a single mother of four runs a street food business selling fried snacks such as ayam gunting, banana fritters, keropok lekor, otak-otak and frozen kuih. Pn Siti Nur Aishah previously ran a street stall near her home, but it had to be discontinued as the location underwent redevelopment. Now, she operates from home, supplying frozen keropok lekor to her customers.
In Ramadan, she sells at the Bukit Bintang Ramadhan Bazaar. She hopes to secure a new stall or location to resume processing and selling her fried snacks regularly on a daily basis. She is seeking financial assistance to purchase raw materials and invest in a chest freezer and an industrial mixer machine. These upgrades will help her improve her business productivity.
