Students in underserved communities face many challenges on their pathway to getting the best out of their education, but there are initiatives aiming to help. One of them is CAREbinet by The Risers, which provides learners in these communities access to basic needs like food and hygiene products through the building and distributing of sustainable cabinets to schools in Kuala Lumpur, which is especially important as costs of living continue to rise. We learn more about the CAREbinet by The Risers, an initiative under the Taylorsphere campaign, by speaking with Josephine Tan, Taylors College Campus Director, and Farhan Hafetz, marketing director of the JASMINE Food Corporation.
