Ramadan Blessings Food Distribution Programme
Ramadan is a month that educates Muslims about the suffering and hardships of those in need. KMK MART implemented the Ramadan Food Distribution Programme to provide residents of residential colleges at UiTM Pahang Branch Jengka Campus the opportunity to experience the beauty and pleasure of worship. Under the direction of the Malaysian Academy of SME and Entrepreneurship Development (MASMED) at UiTM Pahang Branch, students were given the opportunity to operate the KMK MART company. The programme aims to strengthen relationships between KMK MART employees and students, fostering a supportive environment and enhancing their university experience. The programme, which includes distribution of Chicken Beriyani Rice, mineral water, and sweets, was successfully implemented in the middle of the fasting month. The distribution took place in Lot 1 and Lot 2 Mat Kilau 2 College (KMK 2). The positive response from students was encouraging, and KMK MART hopes that this CSR programme will continue to provide a continuous experience for all. This programme focuses on supporting student’s well-being and engagement, aiming to foster a supportive environment and enhancing students’ university experience.
