COVID-19 has hit our local community in ways we never expected but more so for the urban and rural poor. Many areas throughout Sarawak have been designated as red zones, pushing tens of thousands of families to the brink of food insecurity.

In November 2020, “Kuching Food Aid” begun to answer calls from local charities, NGOs and ex-welfare workers who were receiving daily calls from desperate families living in villages and longhouses affected by the lockdown. KFA is a community lead initiative providing food aid through supermarkets to Sarawak’s most vulnerable.

Currently KFA helps 2000 families a month in need across Sarawak including rural families in need living in villages and longhouses stretching from Kuching to Lundu, Puncak Borneo, Asajaya, Betong, Sibu, Ulu Belaga, Bintulu, Mukah, Balingan, Tatau, Selangau, Miri and Lawas.

Each food box contains essential supplies such as rice, eggs, biscuits, dry beehon, canned sardines, pickled lettuce, soya sauce, sugar, flour and cooking oil. Many villagers are farmers, fishermen and labourers dependent on a daily wage to make a living. KFA recipients include single mothers caring young children, the sick, elderly and differently abled. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant job losses and many families have spiralled downwards into worsening poverty.

Your generous donation of Food Aid can provide a lifeline to these families.
