Kuala Lumpur, 5 July 2023 \u2014 Etika Sdn Bhd (\u201cEtika\u201d), one of the leading halal beverage manufacturers in the country, has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to societal and environmental well-being through its recent CSR initiative, \u201cSolar Project X Medical Camp for the Orang Asli\u201d at Koa, Kedat. This impactful initiative was organised under the umbrella of Etika\u2019s global community outreach program, \u201cRE-CONNECTION for the EARTH,\u201d aligning with World Environment Day and aimed at promoting environmental conservation and fostering sustainable communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The successful execution of this endeavour showcased Etika\u2019s dedication to making a positive impact on society and the environment, reinforcing its position as a responsible corporate entity. Through the \u201cSolar Project X Medical Camp for the Orang Asli,\u201d Etika powered 19 homes of the Orang Asli community in Koa, Kedat with solar electricity, while also providing a medical camp for 54 homes with 60 families. This initiative not only enhances the well-being of the indigenous community but also addresses their energy needs in a sustainable manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Etika, we believe in the power of connection \u2013 connecting people, communities, and the environment. The \u2018Solar Project X Medical Camp for the Orang Asli\u2019 perfectly aligns with our RE-CONNECTION for the EARTH campaign, as it promotes sustainable energy solutions and supports the indigenous community,\u201d shared Santharuban Thurai Sundaram, Chief Executive Officer of Etika Group of Companies (Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe chose to focus on the Orang Asli because we recognised their close connection to the environment. Through this campaign, we aim to empower the Orang Asli community, enhance their quality of life, and contribute to a sustainable future for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etika\u2019s partners for this initiative, SOLS 24\/7, MUC Healthcare and Muhibbah FoodBank,
played a pivotal role in the event\u2019s success. SOLS 24\/7 installed and commissioned solar
panels for the 19 \u2018Orang Asli\u2019 homes. Previously, these homes had limited access to
consistent electricity for lighting, relying on generators or oil lamps. The provision of solar
panels now enables the community to enjoy a reliable and sustainable source of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, in collaboration with MUC Healthcare, comprehensive health screenings were conducted for the community members, including checks on blood pressure, SPO2 levels, and BMI. Health education booths were also set up, providing valuable information on first aid at home, nutritious food, and basic hygiene practices. Muhibbah FoodBank \u2013 NGO partner, generously contributed essential supplies and other items to complement the initiative. Their involvement ensures that the Orang Asli community received a
comprehensive range of support beyond beverages, further enhancing their well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
