Sharing Deepavali Festive Cheer with the Underprivileged

STM Lottery ensures that the less fortunate are not forgotten during the festive season. In conjunction with the Festival of Lights, STM Lottery brought festive cheer to about 50 needy families on 19 November 2024. Led by Puan Sherifah Hanom, Senior Manager (Communications & Sustainability) of STM Lottery, a team of staff volunteers joined a Deepavali donation drive held in Melaka.

The event was a collaborative effort with Kelab Bell Belia Tamil Bukit Beruang, and STM Lottery allocated RM9,000 in cash to the NGO for the purchase of household items and hampers for the beneficiaries, who were delighted to receive hampers filled with assorted foodstuffs and goodies.

In addition to enjoying a hearty meal, the beneficiaries and guests were entertained with music, singing and dance performances organized by the NGO. The staff volunteers felt a sense of joy and fulfillment, grateful for the opportunity to share the spirit of Deepavali with the beneficiaries.

The Deepavali donation drive has been a part of STM Lottery’s charitable events for many years, reflecting the company’s annual tradition of promoting human values of caring and sharing.
