Donations
Appeal for donation
SAMH is currently struggling to cover operating costs as our student enrolment is still lower than pre-pandemic times due to various reasons. Government grants and charitable contributions have also declined and as a result, SAMH is facing difficulties in covering operating costs. Thus, any financial assistance and support will be greatly appreciated and used for the maximum benefit of the children/adults entrusted in our care.
Over the last few years, government grants to NGOs has been on a downward trend and this has impacted SAMH, whereby it would now need to collect 60% of its annual budget through public donations to meet its operating expenditure.
SAMH Projects /Donation Campaigns
A number of donation campaigns below are designed towards covering SAMH’s operating expenses. For several years already, financial assistance from the government has declined substantially perhaps due to the rising number of non-governmental organisations needing government financial support as well as the general economic situation.
The pandemic has further aggravated our financial situation with the closure of our centres for extended periods and a general concern amongst parents to send their children to school during the ongoing pandemic. This has led to a huge drop in student enrolments and our revenues.
SAMH still needs to cover its operating expenses of utilities, rental and payroll. While student enrolments are slowly increasing, it is still far from the pre-pandemic period and there is still much uncertainty over the outlook during this Covid recovery period.To help us sustain during this difficult phase, we have also started a few campaigns to help support our costs.
SAHM Flag-Day Campaign
This is an annual campaign which SAMH has been organising for many years. With technology and given the pandemic situation, SAHM has now extended its flag day appeal on our website. If you want to contribute to a good cause, do us a favour!
ProjectLIGHT
This is a campaign to raise funds to help us cover our utilities expenses of our SAHM centres. Annually our total utilities expenses for SAHM cost approximately RM 37,500
ProjectPAY
Many of our teachers are very dedicated to serve the needs of the mentally handicapped and have served for many years. Quite a number are also the sole breadwinners for their families and fall in the B40 group. With the substantial cuts in government funding, SAHM has struggled to stay afloat and covering payroll has been a major worry. Thus, SAHM needs financial assistance to help us cover our operational costs.
ProjectHALL
Project HALL is a donation drive to collect funds for the upgrade and refurbishment of all SAHM Wisma Harapan multi-purpose hall used by all age-groups for events, indoor games/exercise sessions, shows, games and other purposes. Currently the room’s AV system, and other fixtures and fittings are old and need upgrading/replacement. All contribution will go towards renovation work and purchase of new fixtures and fittings for the multipurpose hall.
