The Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) will be deposited into MyKads from 31 August and can be used until 31 December 2025. The SARA aid, totalling RM100, is eligible to those ages 18 years and above to purchase basic goods or essential items like food products, medications, home care products, and self care products.
If you can spare the change, it’ll be great if you can use the funds to help animals in need. These animals in animal shelters need a lot of food and care, and funds often run low in these voluntary shelters.
Here are some animal shelters that you can help out by getting them food like rice, eggs, cleaning products, and more. The SARA aid is limited to some items as listed here and it’s advisable to check with the animal shelters on which items they need first.
1. Second Chance Animal Shelter (SCAS)
Based in Hulu Langat, SCAS helps puppies and dogs get adopted into good homes and will be happy to receive monetary and food donations. You can contact SCAS at 012-9192263 or email donate@secondchance.com.my or info@secondchance.com.my to find out how you can best help them.
2. Malaysian Animal Welfare Association (MAWA)
MAWA founder Mukunnan Sugumaran is looking for food for the animals in the dog shelter. To help sponsor food for over 400 dogs under MAWA’s care, the shelter asks donors to contribute payment directly to a trusted pet food supplier, Mr Nelson Goh, the owner of Animal Channel Mart in Semenyih.
