KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FBS, a leading global broker, has sent philanthropic support to needy families across Malaysia during the holy month of Ramadan. Through partnerships with Dignity for Children Foundation and SUKA Society, FBS collectively helped over 900 people nationwide.

"At FBS, we are grateful to our charity partners for organizing such important Ramadan projects, which allowed us to improve the lives of many significantly. Our collaboration serves as a powerful reminder of our mutual ability to bring about positive change. Working together, we are not only addressing hunger but fostering a sense of hope. FBS is looking forward to continuing our support and reaching out to as many individuals as possible in their time of need," said Aizzat Arfa, Official Representative of FBS in Malaysia, as he commented on the FBS's Ramadan charity.

Over the past ten years, FBS and its traders have supported vulnerable communities with food and necessities during Ramadan. Since its first Ramadan charity initiative in 2014, FBS has donated over $1.3 million to philanthropic projects across Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.

This year, monetary contributions from FBS have been channeled to two Malaysian charities, SUKA Society and Dignity for Children Foundation. With the FBS's support, they organized on-site Ramadan gift-giving initiatives. Donations from FBS were turned into essential grocery packages and heartwarming festive hot meals for more than 400 Malaysian families facing challenging life circumstances. Ramadan gifts ranged from indispensable kits to vital food supplies, offering financial relief to families in need and enabling them to celebrate the holy season.

Renee Koo, Head of Marketing & Communications at Dignity for Children Foundation, expressed her appreciation on behalf of the organization, stating, "We extend our deepest gratitude to FBS for their generous donation of USD 5,000 towards supporting our students' families during the holy month of Ramadan. Contribution from FBS will have a significant impact on the lives of those we serve, enabling us to provide much-needed assistance to families facing financial hardship.

Through FBS's generous support, we have been able to impact the lives of 36 children without parents, provide assistance to 14 foster refugee families, and offer support to 130 human trafficking survivors.
