KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Vantage Foundation continues its mission to drive meaningful impact in society through its recent collaboration with Kechara Soup Kitchen (KSK), one of Malaysia’s leading non-governmental organizations dedicated to serving the urban poor, rural, Orang Asli, and homeless communities for over 17 years. KSK operates through a multi-pronged approach; consisting of a Food Bank, Empowerment program, and Soup Kitchen; guided by the motto “Hunger Knows No Barriers”. This volunteer activity took place at Kechara Food Bank in Setapak, a main center where essential items and daily necessities are stored, organized and distributed to families in need.
A total of ten Vantage Foundation volunteers took part in this outreach program, working alongside KSK staff to prepare and deliver food aid packages. The team visited six registered households in Cheras and Jinjang, each identified by the KSK as part of a vulnerable group affected by urban poverty. Beneficiaries include families living in poor or unstable conditions, families with disabled family members, and elderly people living alone without family support.
Through this first-hand experience, volunteers were able to witness the reality of food insecurity in urban Malaysia. Many families depend on monthly assistance to meet basic needs, and the assistance helps ensure they have access to essential goods such as rice, canned goods, hygiene products, and daily necessities.
“Participating in this outreach allows us to better understand the structural challenges faced by vulnerable communities in Kuala Lumpur,” said Steven Xie, Executive Director of Vantage Foundation. “This is a humbling reminder that small acts of service can create a meaningful impact when directed at those who need it most.”
