Bank Islam Integrated Annual Report 2022

Social Impact Progress in 2022 1 Sadaqa House Orphan Fund BIMB recognises the importance of reaching out to special groups in our community, particularly al-Aytam (the orphans), through our Sadaqa House Orphan Fund. In 2022, we announced our joint aspiration with esteemed changemakers to deliver the End-to-End Care Package, a transformative initiative aimed at creating a 'Desired Future' for orphans. Our Orphan Fund acknowledges that achieving such an ambitious goal requires collective action and collaboration with like-minded organisations who share our common mission. Through public donations raised, BIMB aims to build the Community Economic Empowerment Ecosystem (C3e), which will offer multiple Islamic Social Finance and Financial Inclusion solutions to advance these communities. We are proud to be partnering with esteemed changemakers who cover every stage of an orphan's life through "From Cradle to Graduation," BIMB's Orphan Fund. We kickstarted this initiative by collaborating with three exceptional changemakers with unique and specialised roles in the upbringing of orphans: the Orphan Care Foundation, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak Yatim Malaysia, and the Youth Empowerment Foundation (YEM). Through this partnership, we aim to enhance our efforts in building a stronger, more inclusive society for all.
