ACT SARI-SARI STORE NO. 1

 ACT Malaysia's first #act_sarisaristore project will hopefully become a reliable source of income for this family. 

For those who didn't know, a sari-sari store is a mini convenience store selling grocery items and toiletries. A family usually builds a small structure in front of their house which becomes a go-to-store for the neighborhood. Sari-sari stores are very convenient because they sell goods at small quantities. You can find 100 grams of sugar, 50 ml of cooking oil and 1 kg of rice in this store. Almost every neighborhood in the Philippines has a sari-sari store.

ACT Sari Sari Store #1 (Livelihood Project)

A small family with very limited resources. Hamza & Darling have 4 children. Their only source of income is the mini sari sari store which they actually built near their home. Oftentimes the store is closed due to lack of stock. 

Location: Usman Subdivision, Bagua 2, Cotabato City, Philippines

For those who are interested to sponsor a sari-sari store, you can contribute a lump sum of RM 2,000 for one beneficiary family.  From this amount, 85%  will be in the form of goods to sell while 15% will be given as cash aid to the family,

Or you can give any amount you wish and ACT Malaysia will pool all the contributions together to reach RM 2,000. Either way is most welcome.
