As the Covid-19 situation further deteriorates in Malaysia impacting various industries and economic sectors adversely, many members of our society who used to donate essential goods and even money to the poor and needy as part of their philanthropic commitments have been affected either in their jobs or companies and are unable or in an unfavorable financial position to sustain their previous acts of philanthropy. ​
​
A Little Hope is an online CSR project organized by Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Public Relations/Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Communication and Public Relations students at UOW Malaysia KDU Penang. The main purpose of this campaign is to spread awareness of kindness & love in Malaysian society by conducting online crowdfunding for 15 days with the aim to assist people who are facing difficulties or people who need assistance during this critical COVID-19 pandemic. All funds that have been successfully collected will be fully used to purchase rice packets and all the items will be donated to relevant needful individuals or organizations.
