Hope and Hustle: Your Support Helps Refugees Become Entrepreneurs

Refugees in Malaysia find themselves in a legally grey area where they are unable to work or access public education. Their financial woes, on top of uncertainty over their resettlement, lead to anxiety and stress, which can take a toll on their mental health.
Social enterprise Talenpac runs micro-entrepreneurship programmes to empower refugees by equipping them with skills and grants to build their own businesses. Since its establishment in 2018, the company has helped more than 200 refugees. Support their businesses to help enable their economic self-sufficiency and restore their dignity.
