The 7-Eleven Malaysia and NGOHub teams at various homes.
IN conjunction with International Autism Day and the holy month of Ramadan, 7-Eleven Malaysia, the largest 24-hour standalone convenience store operator placed orders for delicious “breaking of fast” food packs prepared by the Autism Café, which were then subsequently distributed together with NGOHub Asia to three orphanages namely, Yayasan Noor Manzil, Rumah Amal Budi Bistari and Rumah Anak Yatim & Asnaf Nur Sakinah, bringing joy to more than 80 underprivileged children and their caretakers.
Autism Café is an initiative by the Autism Cafe Project (ACP) which aims to provide youths with autism an opportunity to be independent and to generate income. From food preparation to serving customers, the youths at Autism Café run the café under the supervision of the founder, Mohd Adli Yahya.
