Food Aid Programme and Food Bank in Kuala Lumpur

As a response to the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the lower-income group in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, the Federal Territory Ministry has introduced the MY5 Programme. The main aim of the social aid programme is to eradicate poverty and thus reduce the income disparities among dwellers in the Federal Territory. KLCH is among the lead agencies and implementers for the MY5 Programme.

Among the support provided are MYGrocer@Wilayah, MYBeras@Wilayah, and MYFood@Wilayah whereby the urban poor and B40 groups residing in public housing areas are able to attain their food supply through either discounted food supply (MyGrocer) or Food Baskets (MyFood & MyBeras)

In 2021, KLCH together with the Ministry of Federal Territories introduced the Hijrah Warrior project, an urban farming project for the homeless located at Anjung Kelana Transformation Centre, Taman Desa. Since its inception, the programme has evolved itself from providing skills and employment opportunities through gardening and agriculture to the homeless and online business management skills and entrepreneurship opportunities through the Hijrah Warrior Mart.
