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.

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.
