<![CDATA[Socio-economic disparities and soaring living costs make it difficult for low-income communities to meet their basic needs. As a solution, the Student Movement for Sharing Care organised a Community Service (PkM) initiative through the distribution of basic foodstuffs and suitable clothing. This programme aims to alleviate the burden on vulnerable groups whilst fostering empathy and social responsibility among students. The method employed is the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, which optimises local assets, social capital, and active participation from the planning stage through to evaluation. The results indicate that this programme is effective in helping to meet the basic needs of poor families and informal workers.
