PETALING JAYA: Inspired by the heroics of frontliners in serving and protecting the nation, Himalaya Malaysia has launched its Himalaya Malaysia Cares campaign.
The Campaign looks to reward frontliners whilst lending a helping hand to the urban poor.
Through the campaign, frontliners – including healthcare professionals and practitioners, and delivery riders – across the nation will receive over RM900,000 worth of Himalaya products.
Commenting on the initiative, Aaron Foong, Director at Himalaya Malaysia said: “This past
year, thousands of Malaysians have displayed immense bravery as frontliners, whether in the hospitals saving lives or on the roads ensuring that we all get our daily necessities.
“Inspired by their commitment towards ensuring the well-being of the nation, we are proud to be giving back to them in our own special way through the Himalaya Malaysia Cares campaign.”
Through the campaign, Himalaya Malaysia is currently donating more than 2,000 Himalaya
products to healthcare professionals and practitioners at selected public hospitals, who are
selflessly treating COVID-19 patients. Hospitals that have already received donations from
Himalaya Malaysia include University Malaya Medical Centre, Hospital Serdang, and Hospital Sungai Buloh, Hospital Selayang within in the Klang Valley, and the Pahang Medical Centre, in Pahang; with more donations in the pipeline for others hospitals.
“Our healthcare workers have displayed incredible valour in keeping us safeguarded during this extraordinary time. We are grateful to Himalaya Malaysia for this gesture of gratitude to our frontliners,” said Professor Dr. Nazirah binti Hasnan, UMMC Director.
The Himalaya Malaysia Cares campaign will also be giving out a total of 10,000 Himalaya
products to delivery riders from foodpanda and Grab over the next two months. Foodpanda riders will have until 30 July 2021 to visit Himalaya boutique outlets nationwide to redeem a free Himalaya Clear Complexion Whitening Day Cream (50g) that contains sunscreen
properties offering UV defence and protection against skin discolouration.
Meanwhile Grab riders will be able to visit any Himalaya boutiques nationwide between 15 July 2021 and 31 August 2021 to redeem a free Himalaya Olive Extra Nourishing Cream (150ml) which protects skin from pollution and dry weather by providing all day moisturizing, nourishment and protection. Grab riders will also be able to order the product online at www.shophimalaya.my for a minimal fee.
Sharing on the collaboration, Shubham Saran, Head of Logistics, foodpanda said “We are
always looking to work with partners to show our gratitude to our delivery partners who have been frontliners throughout the MCO period. We are grateful for the generosity of Himalaya Malaysia in rewarding our delivery partners and thanking them for their commitment in delivering joy to our customers.”
For the second phase of the campaign, Himalaya Malaysia is joining hands with HOPE worldwide Malaysia for a e-fundraising campaign between 21 June and 22 August 2021. The fundraiser aims to raise approximately RM60,000 in funds; wherein all proceeds generated will be donated to the Sentul Free Clinic of HOPE to aid with the Clinic’s operational and treatment costs.
As part of the campaign, donors who contribute RM50 and above in donations will receive two units of the Himalaya Olive Extra Nourishing Cream (150ml) as a token of appreciation.
Commenting on the collaboration, Khaw Guan Heng, Chief Executive Officer at Himalaya
Malaysia said: “The work that HOPE worldwide and the Sentul Free Clinic of HOPE undertake in protecting Malaysians especially those most vulnerable – like the urban poor, is especially important during a pandemic such as this.
We recognize their tireless commitment and dedication; and are equally aware of their need for support to achieve their noble goals. We are proud to use our platform and high-quality products to catalyze this support through this fundraising campaign.”
The Sentul Free Clinic of HOPE is HOPE worldwide Malaysia’s first community program devoted to providing free-of-charge and high-quality health care services to the urban poor.
Since its establishment in the year 2000, the Clinic has helped diagnose, treat, and monitor the health of thousands of urban poor within the Sentul community.
The Himalaya Malaysia Cares Campaign represents Himalaya Malaysia’s flagship initiative for Year 2021; in line with the brand’s overall agenda of enriching the lives of Malaysians from all walks of life through herbal wellness.-pr/BNN
