The Budimas Food Charity Fund was founded when a group of the management team lead by Ms Anne Rajasaikaran headed over the Klang and found a few children in school who were malnourished and whose growth was below the average level of a normal child. Upon investigating via the school teachers and a few volunteers who were helping the community, they found out that these children come from families who do not have an income or who earned below RM 1,800.

Together with the assistance of the school principal and teachers, Budimas started feeding the children by providing free food at the school canteen. Response was positive and the school children’s attendance soured as they were getting food at school. The teachers later reported that the children under the program focused better and showed vitality thanks to the food that was provided for them. This program was created to ensure that children from poor families who can’t afford to have their breakfast will not go to school hungry.

The program began in July 2010, with 6 schools in Kapar, Klang involving 350 children. Today, we are supporting ove 6,000 children from over 180 public schools across Malaysia. Budimas provides breakfast every school-morning to children from poor families to ensure that they do not go to school hungry.
