Chief Executive Officer's Review

While the COVID-19 pandemic continued to challenge and stretch the foundation’s resources during the last financial year, another catastrophe literally inundated us. One of the worst floods ever to hit the country in decades wreaked havoc end of last year and early this year; causing rivers to overflow, submerging many urban areas, and cutting off major roads in eight states. I can still remember the date they started – 18 December 2021.
