Since 2001 when our society was first formed we have always been seeking funding for our various projects. Some years we strike lucky and have enough funds to conduct various projects including building infrastructure while some years we were ‘downright paupers’ with just enough to cover the operating and maintenance costs.
At the time when our environmental programmes with local schools were becoming a permanent fixture, we watched with apprehension as our funds gradually deplete. It was during this anxious period in 2018, that Kemaman Bitumen Company came to our aid and gave a grant of RM 10000 for our reforestation programmes.
Kemaman Bitumen has continued to believe and support us every year since then. Together with funding from ROS, these funds have helped us tide over the pandemic period relatively unscathed.
Some of the activities done with the latest Kemaman Bitumen Grant include
1. Reforestation on the 26th September 2021
Mr Sanjay, the CEO of Kemaman Bitumen and friends together with Reach members planted 20 trees at our biodiversity site in Gunung Brinchang.
2.Reforestation on the 19th February 2022 with CHERISH-Home for Children with special needs in Cameron Highlands
