Sending Love & Care to Children Educational Campaign by OXY

Recognising the transformative power of education in shaping futures, OXY, Malaysia’s leading anti-acne skincare brand for teenagers, is reinforcing its commitment to support underprivileged students for the third consecutive year. Through its ‘Sending Love & Care to Children’ educational campaign, OXY has partnered with MyKasih Foundation and Watsons Malaysia to provide educational support to more than 600 students from four Orang Asli schools in Selangor. 

Sending Love & Care to Children Educational Campaign by OXY 

This initiative to support the Orang Asli students continues into its second year at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Judah (A), Pulau Carey, who was also the campaign’s beneficiaries last year. The school saw an improvement in students’ attendance, rising from 69% to 80%, exceeding its KPI of 72% - thanks to OXY’s contribution in audio visual equipment and teaching aids. 

The three other school beneficiaries for this year’s campaign include Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Kemandol (A) in Bandar Saujana Putra, Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Tampoi (A) in Dengkil, and Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Lanjan (A) in Damansara Perdana.

The programme covers after-school tutoring for 178 Orang Asli students from standard 4 to 6 to improve their basic skills in reading, spelling, and writing. This initiative has also greatly improved students' literacy in the Bahasa Malaysia subject after it was introduced last year at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Judah (A), Pulau Carey. In addition to the literacy program, OXY’s ‘Sending Love & Care to Children’ campaign will also set up reading corners or mini libraries in classrooms to foster a love for reading. Further support in terms of food and other learning materials will be provided to elevate the learning experience of these underprivileged children. 

To promote physical activity and to develop teamwork among students, OXY organised a fun interschool mini sports day. The event, which was held during the mock cheque handover ceremony, included various games such as the Gunny Sack Race, Filling Water Bottles with a Sponge and Ping Pong Ball-and-Spoon Race. Each student participant received souvenirs from OXY as a token of appreciation for their involvement.

To materialise this effort, OXY, alongside Watsons Malaysia, has successfully raised RM50,000 to fund the education and learning of the Orang Asli students.

The schools praised OXY’s dedication to supporting education for the underserved Orang Asli students. The efforts of MyKasih Foundation and Watsons Malaysia were also acknowledged, showcasing their significant commitment to provide a brighter future for these communities. The campaign is anticipated to help bridge educational gaps and open new opportunities for growth and development of the Orang Asli community.

Lim Mei Yuen, General Manager of Rohto-Mentholatum (M), emphasised the importance of providing equal educational opportunities for every child, regardless of their background. She expressed hope that, with the educational support and learning materials provided by OXY, these students will be better equipped to excel in their studies and secure promising future prospects. She also hopes that through OXY's initiative, learning will become more enjoyable and encourage students to look forward to attending school.

“We understand the financial constraints and limited educational resources Orang Asli students may face. Hence, we are eager to continue our support for these underprivileged children. With the support of our partners, including MyKasih Foundation and the dedicated teachers at the schools, we are confident that these students will be able to overcome barriers and achieve their educational goals. Our aim is to create a meaningful difference in their lives and offer them the chance to thrive and succeed,” Lim added.
