THE Hasanah Special Grant (HSG) from Hasanah Foundation will help 40,000 people with 50 projects approved nationwide that offer assistance to vulnerable communities struggling with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Foundation managing director Shahira Ahmed Bazari said the grant was unique from previous ones as it allowed for the private and public sectors to work together in rapid mobilisation of resources that would directly benefit needy communities.
