Drop-off information

We will be having three collection dates. The first collection date is 30th April 2008.

As ref to the info,

Our target is to collect 560 soft toys and multivitamins........
So that each child will receive a soft toy and multivitamins.

We hope to get your support.

Once the target is met we will inform you on the pick-up point (we need to know where the majority of donors come from to select the best location).

Where are the donations going to?

After we've collected the donations, we will be sending it to:
Pertubuhan Masyarakat Prihatin Kota Baru in Bachok, Kelantan.
NOTE: The Cuddly Project is a community service done by us and it is not a project organized by Prihatin. We're doing this project to give support to the kids.

A brief history on Prihatin:
Prihatin was founded in August 2004 by a staff nurse, Puan Zaimah, working in the HIV/AIDS unit of Kota Baru General Hospital when she saw the sufferings of HIV positive women and their infected and affected children.

The objectives of Prihatin are:
- To give emotional support to single mothers infected with HIV/AIDS.
- To form networking of support group among women infected with HIV/AIDS.
- To help reduce stigmatization and discrimination in society against people living with HIV/AIDS.
- To empower single mothers infected with HIV/AIDS to be agents and speak up on issues related to HIV/AIDS.

When Prihatin was formed in 2004, it had 40 HIV/AIDS infected single mothers. Now, Prihatin has 420 HIV/AIDS single mothers registered with them, 168 infected children and 392 affected.

It also runs a residential shelter home in Bachok for those who have no place to go and there are 5 families staying there. The home is also used for carrying out activities for Prihatin members and their children.

Our progress thus far

The Cuddly Project started one week ago. So far, a number of friends have donated 60 gift wrapped soft toys and vitamins. Besides that, we have received cash donations which will be used to buy more soft toys and vitamins for the children.
