The orphans and asnaf, aged 12 and below from the Sepanggar parliamentary constituency, each received RM200 worth of Raya clothes.
Speaking to reporters at the event, Juliah expressed her appreciation to the Gagasan Rakyat Wanita movement and KTC for organising the very meaningful programme bringing cheer and joy to the orphans and asnaf ahead of Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
She urged more government-related companies (GLCs), private companies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and able individuals to come forward to help the less fortunate who need attention and protection.
She said the GLCs and NGOs need to play a proactive role in organising and implementing their corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes.
