Kuala Lumpur, February 2020<\/strong> \u2013 Following the success of the previous three campaigns, Grab Malaysia and the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Malaysia are joining forces once again. The mission: to raise funds to purchase a new dialysis machine that will provide NKF\u2019s underprivileged kidney failure patients with a higher quality of life. The pre-established collaboration between NKF and Malaysia\u2019s homegrown everyday everything app, will enable Grab users to once use their GrabRewards to donate to NKF and support the fundraising effort.<\/p>\n

From 29 January until 31 December 2020, Grab users in Malaysia can visit the GrabRewards catalogue in their Grab app and convert their points into donations. Every 600 GrabRewards points used will translate to a RM5 donation towards NKF.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NKF would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all Grab users who have generously donated to our fundraising campaigns over the past two years through the GrabRewards catalogue. Even though each dialysis machine has an average service span of 8 years or 35,000 running hours, treatment for our dialysis patients is continuous. We are especially grateful to be working closely with Grab once again and hope to generate enough funding for a new dialysis machine to support more End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF) patients,\u201d shared Mr. Chua Hong Wee, the CEO of NKF.<\/p>\n

Mr. Hassan Alsagoff, Country Marketing Head of Grab Malaysia commented, \u201cWe are honoured to be collaborating with National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Malaysia once again. This collaboration not only supports NKF\u2019s fundraising efforts for the underprivileged, but also makes it even more accessible for Malaysians nationwide to make a difference and donate directly to the cause. The response from Grab users towards this initiative in previous years has truly been inspiring and we are proud that we are able to help drive greater positive social impact through our platform.<\/p>\n

Every year, the NKF of Malaysia needs to raise RM26.5 million to subsidise the dialysis patients who are seeking dialysis treatment at the 28 NKF dialysis centres nationwide.<\/p>\n

Members of the public who are interested in contributing towards this cause of helping underprivileged Malaysians access haemodialysis treatment \u2013 a collaboration between NKF and Grab Malaysia \u2013 can find out more through NKF\u2019s website at https:\/\/nkf.org.my\/support-us\/project-campaign\/grabrewards\/<\/a> or call 03-7954 9048.<\/p>\n
