Alliance Islamic Bank announced a meaningful collaboration with SURI Inspirasi to launch the MAH-SURI Lifestyle Project, an initiative aimed at improving the lives of underprivileged single mothers in Langkawi, by equipping them with skills to generate income.
SURI is a social enterprise that provides financial opportunity and living skills for B40 single and underprivileged mothers who struggle with financial challenges.
SURI aims to improve long term sustainability by providing struggling mothers with the opportunity to generate income through employment support programs.
Under the MAH-SURI project, SURI will be expanding its operations to Langkawi to help underprivileged mothers there to make a living by providing support and training in Creative Sewing Techniques, Design and Product Development.
Through this campaign, the Bank plans to raise RM70,000 in funds to procure equipment essential in enabling the project’s success such as industrial and portable sewing machines, dedicated laptops for designing purposes and the locally engineered Flexsilk attire printing machine.
The MAH-SURI initiative is a pivotal component of the Bank’s sustainability efforts, in support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 1 (No Poverty), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
