In the spirit of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, IJM Corporation Bhd (IJM) extended festive cheer to Komuniti Tukang Jahit (KTJ), a social enterprise that empowers B40 women through certified sewing skills training.
In conjunction with IJM’s International Women’s Day 2025 campaign, over RM18,000 was raised in support of KTJ.
The funds included more than RM9,000 from a staff-led yoga fundraising challenge, complemented by corporate donations and support through a KTJ product showcase platform.
IJM representatives visited KTJ’s warehouse in Ampang on April 11, to present the funds raised and celebrate the occasion with 100 women from the KTJ community.
Special Raya goodie bags filled with festive biscuits were distributed.
Also present were IJM chief risk management and integrity officer Sonia Lim, chief information officer Helen Lim Giok and industry division senior general manager Choy Teik San who championed the fundraising initiative.
They were joined by KTJ chief executive officer Yap Sue Yii and members of the KTJ community.
IJM said this initiative reflected its continued commitment to uplift communities and fostering inclusive economic empowerment, particularly for women from underserved backgrounds.
