Kuala Lumpur

– Great Eastern Life Assurance (Malaysia) Berhad (Great Eastern Life)expanded their efforts in celebrating Deepavali with the underprivileged children in Pure Life Society in November 2018. Aligned with the Personal Development pillar of ChildrenCare, this programme aims to encourage the children to explore their creative skills in Kolam
making. The children assisted by Kolam artists and GELM personnel, built a 16ft colourful and auspicious Kolam. The home was filled with laughter and cheer throughout the night as the children demonstrated their talent in singing, dancing and playing musical instruments during the Talentime contest. The Grand winner of the contest walked away with book vouchers worth RM500 with her breath taking Bharathanatyam performance, whilst the 1strunner up and 2nd runner-up winner won book vouchers worth RM400 and RM300 respectively. The children were treated to an array of sumptuous Indian vegetarian dinner and the celebration was concluded with the children and GELM employees lighting up the Kolam to usher in the Festival of Lights.

About Childrencare

Launched in 1995, Great Eastern Life ChildrenCare, a long-term community project was initiated to instil the spirit of caring and sharing amongst Great Eastern Life’s staff and members of the agency force. In line with Great Eastern Life’s brand position as a LIFE company, ChildrenCare focuses its efforts on three core pillars namely education, health and wellness, and personal development when reaching out to children in need.

We have worked hand-in-hand with Government Ministries and various Non-Governmental Organisations on children welfare programmes to address and resolve the ongoing struggles these children face every day. Each year, staff and members of the field force also embark on annual public fundraising campaigns and community-wide events to raise funds for Great Eastern Life ChildrenCare.

Over the past 23 years, more than RM2.6 million has been donated to more than 180 children charities across Malaysia to help achieve immediate and lasting change in the lives of these children. Apart from fund-raising and making donations, Great Eastern Life ChildrenCare is also supported by I-Pledge Volunteers from Great Eastern Life’s pool of staff who pledged as volunteers, offering their free time to assist in Great Eastern Life ChildrenCare activities that go beyond the ordinary approach of helping underprivileged children. Centering on the three core pillars, these activities are not only
designed to be fun, but to also include motivational and inspiring elements.

In 2013, we launched a new initiative under the Education pillar, “Program Aspirasi Gemilang ‘A’”, the first CSR initiative of its kind by a life insurance company of which students from JKM registered children homes are awarded RM100 for each ‘A’ they achieved in their public examinations namely UPSR, PT3 and SPM. Other activities include “ChildrenCare Let’s Score ‘A’ Workshop” for UPSR, PT3 and SPM students, “Program Ihya’ Ramadhan”, “ChildrenCare Deepavali Feast”, “ChildrenCare Magical Ice Skating”, “ChildrenCare Young Roboticist Camp”, “A Visit to Aquaria with ChildrenCare” and many more.
