MY.Social Enterprise

In this episode, we have the founders of The Asli Co., Jason and Xin, who work closely with Orang Asli (the indigenous people). They are on their mission to improve the lives of Orang Asli in Malaysia. They are wishing to eradicate poverty through women empowerment and reducing school drop out rate among the children. The mission started when the couple found out the sad truth that over 50% of the indigenous children drop out of school because the families could not afford the school fees during their volunteering for the indigenous. They teach women skills such as sewing and handcrafting to make products, providing the women opportunities to earn education fees and some extra income. Now, the social enterprise works with four indigenous villages in Selangor, Malaysia. They have also trained 35 women in their education program. Check out their beautiful product range made by the indigenous mothers. The Asli Co.
