As we start a brand new year, that also means that school children all around the country are gearing up for another school year.
However, there are also some school children from less well-to-do families out there who are struggling to make ends meet.
We’ve heard plenty of stories about how a child from a household had to quit school because their parents can’t afford to send them to one.
But thanks to one local retailer, more and more underprivileged children can afford to go to school and hopefully, one day, change the world.
Standing strong together
Tesco Malaysia, together with Unilever Malaysia and PINTAR Foundation (PINTAR), have decided to come together to bring some cheer as well as to help underprivileged B40 school children through a new campaign.
