Badan Amal Warga Asnaf (BAWA) Malaysia’s Efforts to Support the Needy
Aiding Those in Need Across the Nation
Badan Amal Warga Asnaf (BAWA) Malaysia has made significant strides in supporting those in need, with nearly 50 aid and welfare programs conducted nationwide in the first three months of this year. The organization’s commitment to helping those in need is evident in its efforts to ensure that the asnaf community (tithe recipients) is not left out or sidelined during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations.
Melaka Takes a Lead in Organizing Aid Missions and Donation Programmes
Among the states that have been actively involved in organizing aid missions and donation programs is Melaka, which has seen 17 programs conducted in the first three months of this year. The Jelajah Ramadan 2025 Programme is one such initiative, which aims to provide assistance to the underprivileged, including cleaning their homes to ensure their comfort, rather than focusing solely on food donations.
The Role of BAWA in Providing Assistance
According to Datuk Amilludin Latip, the president of BAWA, the assistance provided by the organization comes in various forms. "As of today, BAWA has been established in Melaka, Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang as well as the Federal Territories. Melaka is among the most active states in organising aid missions and donation programmes for the needy," he said.
Funding Challenges and the Role of the Public
Datuk Amilludin also highlighted the challenges faced by BAWA in terms of funding, stating that the organization does not receive assistance from specific parties or government grants. Instead, its charity programs are carried out through contributions from the public. "For the time being, we do not plan to expand BAWA to other states due to financial constraints. We rely heavily on the generosity of the public to continue our efforts," he explained.
Event Highlights
At a recent event, 70 recipients received food baskets containing essential food items and cash assistance, presented by Melaka State Secretary Datuk Azhar Arshad. This initiative is a testament to BAWA’s commitment to supporting those in need and providing assistance to those who require it most.
Conclusion
Badan Amal Warga Asnaf (BAWA) Malaysia’s efforts to support those in need are truly commendable. With its commitment to helping those in need, the organization has made a significant impact on the lives of many. As it continues to rely on the generosity of the public to carry out its charity programs, it is crucial that we all do our part in supporting its efforts.
