In 2002, eHomemakers launched a program called Salaam Wanita, which means ‘Recognizing Women’ in Malay. The purpose of Salaam Wanita is to provide women who are homebound due to illness or disability with basic technical and business skills so that they can work from home and network with others. This will help them help themselves, a motto that eHomemakers.net is proud of.
With the aim of raising 30k by March 2009 to provide IT training to 30 disabled individuals, BEST EVENTS is planning to have fundraising events in the coming months with the first event being held on 22 November 2008 at U-Bowl, One Utama.
Besides that, BEST EVENTS will also showcase the eco-baskets handwoven by low-income mothers using old magazines in the monthly newsletter, SHOUT OUT, to enable readers to bid on them every month.
The first eco-basket set is called the "Blue Ocean" set which consists of three items at the starting bidding price of Rm150. Do e-mail your price to salaamkv@ehomemakers.net with "Blue Ocean basket set bid" in the title to start bidding. We thank you for your support!
