🌟 In a mark of resilience, growth and community spirit, today we honour 126 families representing 630 individuals who graduated from the Leap Initiative Programme Batch 3, marking the completion of their two-year empowerment journey. With a remarkable 79% retention rate, these families have transformed their lives across six key domains through milestone-based grants of up to $5,000, fully funded by community Zakat contributions.
What makes this programme special? It trusts families as the best decision-makers for their own challenges, fostering not just individual growth but community leadership. With around 60 mentors now supporting new families and 42 families contributing to fellow Zakat beneficiaries, the spirit of giving back continues to flourish.
Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs, Assoc Prof Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, beautifully captured it: "The Leap Initiative is more than a grant programme—it empowers families, builds resilience, strengthens bonds, and creates a community where families grow together."
Alhamdulillah for this community where families don't just survive, they thrive. 💪✨
