Moving Forward
Improve the reach of our scholarship
awards: increase scholarship availability
and broaden the scope of the awards.
The number of students receiving scholarships
has increased, as has the total amount
awarded. In 2014, stipends were awarded to
studies in new subjects/levels.
t
We will expand our scholarship awards
to include post-graduate studies and to other
countries where we operate.
Expand the adoption of our P.E.E.R.S.
programme to more schools
throughout Malaysia, and focus on
improving the methodology of teaching
English in P.E.E.R.S. schools.
We focused on English proficiency and, by
working with our project partners, trained
more teachers (an increase of 42%).
Attendance rates and grades in participating
schools improved.
t
P.E.E.R.S. will continue to lead our work
in education. The programme will expand
to more schools in Malaysia and, moving
forward, across the region. We will review our
programme curriculum and focus on teacher
training projects with programme partners.
Reach more children and youth through
our financial literacy programmes.
To use innovative communication tools
and social media.
The second season of CashVille Kidz reached
a record number of schools and teachers. By
using social media, we have reached even
more children in both urban and rural areas.
t
We plan to extend our financial literacy
programme to other ASEAN countries,
subject to approval by the relevant education
ministries.
Empower more disadvantaged
women entrepreneurs through our
microfinance programmes.
The programme is beginning to have more
impact, as beneficiaries are becoming
involved in more scalable businesses and the
benefits trickle down the local economy.
t
We plan to support our beneficiaries beyond
financial means by providing other capability
building initiatives like training in general
management skills.
Consolidate our support to P.W.D.s and
help more P.W.D.s become financially
independent.
We piloted the R.I.S.E. programme to build
capacity of P.W.D. entrepreneurs. We also
continued to support P.W.D. artists through
Nukilan Jiwaku and increased the number of
beneficiaries.
t
We aim to build on the success of R.I.S.E. and
expand the programme. We will monitor and
evaluate the programme for lessons learnt
and best practices.
Encourage more employees to
commit to Cahaya Kasih volunteerism
programme and to form long-term
partnerships with community
stakeholders.
The number of volunteers and volunteer
hours have both increased. More projects are
turning into long-term partnerships.
t
We will continue to support the long-term
partnerships created through Cahaya Kasih.
We will monitor and evaluate the impact of
the volunteer initiatives even closer.
Invest in programmes that promote
environmental diversity.
We contributed to the tiger upkeep at Zoo
Negara and undertaking longer term
investments in tiger conservation.
t
We aim to continue our support for tiger
conservation and also engage partners for
more long term environmental commitments.
Support the development of arts and
culture in Asia through continued focus
on Nukilan Jiwaku and promotion of arts.
While we continued to invest in Nukilan
Jiwaku, we will only start our Arts in School
programme in 2015.
t
Maybank Arts in School (MARS) and Maybank
Annual Regional Arts Exchange (MAX) to be
executed in 2015.
Reinforce our commitment to access
and quality of healthcare.
We continued to invest in our main
programmes — Hospital Selayang Liver
Transplant Centre, Regional Paediatric Centre
at Institut Jantung Negara in Malaysia and
support for retinoblastoma treatment in
Indonesia.
t
We will invest more in awareness creation in
our focus areas.
