Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu starts Ramadan with home for orphans, underprivileged children and single mothers.

Kota Kinabalu, 23 March 2023 – Kicking off this year’s Ramadan, Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu welcomed the start of the holy month with a breaking-of-fast evening with a home for the orphans, underprivileged children and single mothers.

Providing the residents of Rumah Anak Kesayangan Sabah an opportunity to celebrate the first day of Ramadan with the hotel associates including guests, the breaking-of-fast session is aimed at creating awareness of their plight for constant support from the general public including governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Supported by Nur Muhammad Welfare and Education Organization Sabah, Rumah Anak Kesayangan Sabah manages two homes each located in Taman Sempelang in Sembulan and Taman Chin Sang in Likas that shelters more than 100 children from age 4 - 14 years’ old. 30% of the children sheltered in both homes are orphans while the others are from underprivileged families. The homes are also a shelter for single mothers.

Running at a bare minimum and with the rising cost of living, the shelter is in constant need for financial support to run their day-to-day operations, basic necessities of food and beverage, personal hygiene needs, health supplements and groceries which will be rationed on a daily basis.

According to Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu general manager Suresh Ramasamy, this activity is in conjunction with Marriott International initiative of Serve 360 to do good in every direction, which the hotel is committed to creating a positive and sustainable impact as guided by the company’s 2025 Sustainability and Social impact goals in the ‘Nurture’ pillar.

‘We are also dedicated to contribute to the company-wide overall goal of 15 million hours of volunteer service to support the priorities and community engagements strategy and 50% of the volunteer hours are served to the children and youths’, he added.
