Feeding Futures at
PPR Pinggiran Bukit Jalil 

In the heart of Kuala Lumpur, on a quiet Saturday morning, a wave of kindness swept through PPR Pinggiran Bukit Jalil. On 11 October 2025, UPLIFT distributed food aid to 100 B40 families, ensuring that no family goes hungry and that hope continues to live in every Malaysian home. 

In times when economic pressures weigh heavily on low-income households, especially those in the B40 group, this initiative stood as a beacon of empathy and solidarity. 

A Day of Giving, A Gesture of Love 

This initiative saw volunteers from UPLIFT come together with smiles, energy and a shared sense of purpose.

Each family received a thoughtfully prepared food package containing essential items to support daily meals: 

  • 5kg of rice 
  • 1kg of planta 
  • 1kg of murukku flour 
  • 1.7kg of wheat flour 
  • 2L of cordial drink 
  • 1kg of sugar 
  • 1 pack of teabags 
  • 2kg of cooking oil 
  • 1 bag of assorted biscuits 
  • 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk 

These weren’t just items on a list — they were ingredients for comfort, nourishment and a reminder that someone cares. 

Feeding Bodies, Nourishing Hope 

This initiative reflects UPLIFT’s unwavering commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being)

By directly engaging with communities in need, UPLIFT ensures that its impact is immediate, personal and deeply felt. 

Beyond Aid: A Community Reconnected 

The atmosphere at PPR Pinggiran Bukit Jalil was one of gratitude and unity. Parents expressed heartfelt thanks, children smiled as they helped their families carry the food packs home and volunteers found joy in knowing that their small actions could make a big difference. 

In a world where struggles often go unseen, initiatives like this remind us that charity is about sharing what we have, because we care. 

The Bigger Picture 

Food insecurity continues to be a challenge in many parts of Malaysia, especially among low-income families in urban areas. Rising living costs and unstable income sources make it difficult for many to put balanced meals on the table. 

UPLIFT’s mission doesn’t end here. This effort is part of its larger movement to empower vulnerable communities, tackle inequality and ensure that no one is left behind. By addressing basic needs first, UPLIFT helps build the foundation for stronger, healthier and more hopeful futures.
