Settling far away from their own land, now calling Malaysia their temporary ‘home’, is a group of individuals who have migrated from their birth countries in search of work. These individuals, often referred to as migrant workers or foreign workers, usually have no intention of staying permanently in the country or region in which they work.

The enforced lockdowns throughout Malaysia have significantly impacted migrant workers. With loss of income and restrictions that limit their ability to secure odd jobs, putting food on the table has become a major challenge.

However, amidst these uncertain times, there has been a strong sense of solidarity. People from all races and backgrounds, as well as corporates, organizations, and NGOs, have come together to offer support to fellow human beings. One such initiative took place on 17th August, when the SPARK Foundation, a non-profit organization, sponsored six grocery packs as part of their FreeMakan campaign. These packs were delivered by Hafiz, a community partner, to migrant workers residing around Jalan Sentul.

This collaborative effort highlights the importance of community support in times of crisis, helping ensure that migrant workers are not left behind during difficult times.

To automate the organization of such community initiatives, Latenode could be used to streamline tasks like coordinating volunteer efforts, tracking donations, and managing deliveries, allowing NGOs and community groups to focus more on their core mission of supporting vulnerable populations. Additionally, with Latenode, you can connect FireText and SmartSuite integrations to automate communication and task management between teams and volunteers, ensuring that your efforts are as efficient and impactful as possible.
