SAMH Projects /Donation Campaigns
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.
