Assalamualaikum w.b.t. and greetings!
Teman Malaysia is a social enterprise start-up that improves the quality of life for your loved ones, especially the elderly through paid freelance care companionship services. We feel that it is a good time for anybody who wants to lend a helping hand, to chip in some bucks and create a meaningful times for elderly who are in need.
What drives Teman Malaysia to start this crowdfund?
It all started when we stumbled upon a viral post on Twitter, about Encik Azlan. Encik Azlan is a 28 years old young man, who was an active tour guide. Throughout his career journey in the tourism sector, he feels bad looking at homeless elderlies who had nowhere to go and always sleep by the street. He then voluntarily established Pertubuhan Kebajikan Warga Emas Al-Fattah (PKWE Al-Fattah) or Al-Fattah Elderly’s Welfare Organization located in Semenyih, a care home for senior citizens who had no information of kin, left abandoned, unemployed and homeless. Even the hospitals would reach out to Encik Azlan, whenever there was a case where patients were left alone at the hospital, thrown out by the family.
Unfortunately, things are getting harder than usual due to the recent pandemic. He was retrenched from his former job and has lost a total of RM6,000 monthly wages, which used to be the primary resource to sustain the care home. As time passes by, the number of elderly who live in the care home increases gradually and now Encik Azlan has a total of 18 elderly that he has to take care of on his own. That alone has increased the total operation cost to RM15,000 per month. Not only that, he also has to bring in on average 10 different elderly to go to health appointments every month. On top of that, he has to also bring another 3 elderlies to dialysis treatment, 3 times per week. To bear the cost of operation and transportation managing the elderly, he has no choice but to work as a foodpanda rider on weekdays, while on weekends he sells fresh fish in Serdang. Based on the recent interview with him, he did mention that he really needs some financial aids.

What are we Paying Forward?
The “Pay It Forward” is a system that allows the public to pay for someone else’s purchases or services, usually the less privileged. Throughout this campaign, Teman Malaysia will be collecting donations from the public to help sponsoring the elderly in PKWE Al-Fattah who will be needing our care companion services which will be focusing on health appointment, dialysis treatment, as well as customized activities such Iqra’ and Al Quran learning because those are the type of activities that they enjoy the most, according to the recent interview that we had with them. We target that by running this campaign, these unfortunate elderly will be able to be sponsored for 8 months, starting from June 2021 until January 2021.

Who are the beneficiaries of this campaign?
Teman Malaysia aims to benefit two primary beneficiaries; the elderlies in PKWE Al-Fattah and Encik Azlan. The elderlies will be benefiting from the care companionship services that we will be able to provide from the sponsors by the public throughout this campaign. On a side note, as Encik Azlan is now our official Temanion (a term that we use to call our freelance care companion), he will also benefit from the service by acquiring side incomes as he accompanies the elderly in PKWE Al-Fattah to health appointments and dialysis treatments. The side incomes that he will be gaining from the services will help him to bear the operation and transportation cost of sustaining PKWE Al-Fattah.
Other than that, our secondary beneficiaries would be the Temanions who will be in charge of the customized activities such as Iqra’ and Al-Quran learning, as they will be getting side incomes while enjoying their passion in giving back to the community. As a social enterprise startup company, Teman Malaysia will also be able to sustain as a small portion from the paid amount of every service will be contributed to the operation costs.

What is the measure of impact?
We hope that with enough funding to provide our services there, we would be able to empower the elderly in PKWE Al-Fattah to live happily and gracefully in their golden age despite the unfortunate events that have happened in their lives. On top of that, by becoming our Temanion who provides care companionship service to the elderly in PKWE Al-Fattah to health appointments and dialysis treatment, we hope that the side incomes that Encik Azlan will be gaining will help to reduce the burden that he carries all this while to sustain the care home. On a side note, as a social enterprise startup, we also target to raise awareness to the public about helping the elderly in need. With a team which is made of a bunch of passionate founders and Temanions, we are grateful to share this opportunity with you for us to make that difference. We will provide yearly report at our website www.temanmalaysia.com and in our monthly blogpost to update the ongoing impact we created in PKWE Al-Fattah.
Thank you beautiful souls.
