Down Syndrome association to generate income through cultivation of mushrooms

The Johor Down Syndrome Association plans to buy 3,000 mushroom cultivation bottles before moving to expand its online presence to meet the high demand.

Association president Alpian Jamid said the programme started in September last year after the association was granted funding by the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) under the Iskandar Malaysia Youth Empowerment Fund (IMPower) programme.
