AGift with care

AGift with care.

It is a social business that provides special people (SP, henceforth) with job opportunities

and sustainable income, through selling of perfume and personal care products.

They are different with others. It is very important for non-for-profit organizations to have operations that are self-sustainable. Many large and well-established not-for-profit organizations do not only rely on charity from society but seek to be self-sufficient by generating income through recycling and manufacturing activities. However, these operations are based on a collective effort from volunteers. Smaller non-for-profit organizations, on the other hand, often rely heavily on donations and help from volunteers who mostly consist of parents and caretakers of SP.

According to Universal joy Sdn. bhd, there are approximately 220,00 people with disabilities, approximately 95,000 of whom are registered with the Department of Welfare Services in Malaysia.

Disturbingly, only 4,000, or 4% of these people enjoy paid employment. This figure stands in stark contrast to those of developed nations such as the United States, where roughly 15.6 million people with disablities, or 34% are employed.

There is a large proposition of SP, esp those with physical disabilities, can join the workforce along-side the rest of society if given the opportunity, and if some cases, if workplace modifications are made (e.g, improved access and transport). Some SP, however, face greater hardship due to more severe disabilities. For example, people with certain mental disabilities or motor dis-coordination may not be able to maintain employment. AGift gives priority to SP who fall into this minority.

The mission of AGift is to create premium quality products. Although AGift aims to improve social inclusion for SP, they realize that in order to survive in nowadays's market place, no sacrifice can be made when it comes to quality. AGift goal is that once you try an AGify product, its quality alone will justify you coming back for more. Hence, whether its basic toiletries or exclusive fragrances, we ensure that AGift products exceed the high standards set by consumers and compete readily with other leading/ commercial brands in the market.

How AGift helps?

They are helping the lives of SP in 3 major ways:

Firstly, they provide employment opportunities to SP by utilizing their talents in decorating the bottles AGift products sold. For every bottle decorated, a wage is paid either directly to painter or to the beneficiary organisation. All SP working with AGift are recommended by their charitable organisations and have received approval from their guardian/s. Every product sold, an amount up to RM10 is set aside for their charity partners.

After AGift financial audit, they will donate a significant portion of our profits after tax to our charity partners. It is in addition to the competitive wages paid to the SP working for AGift.

Besides that, they make sure that AGift painters have fun in th process. There is no possibility of SP being exploited since all drawing sessions are guided by experienced and committed social workers, volunteers, and quite often, the parents and guardians themselves. Most of the times their painters work in their comfort zone, only when they feel like it, and only when they are physically and mentally capable. To accomodate the various needs of the painters, their painting production runs at a very slow pace.
