Clickers Startup in KL


Congratulations to all the Clickers who joined the Click! Startup Workshop in KL. Over 50 Clickers and their friends came together to startup 7 different ventures including: helping the aged; performing arts for disadvantaged youth; helping single mothers; Kids Helping Kids; helping teenagers with unwanted pregnancies; cultural programs for down syndrome youth; and raising awareness of the importance of sound money management.

In only 3 hours, these amazing youth developed their action plans and budgets for projects designed to give back to their community in the spirit of social responsibility.

Following the presentations to a panel including Ms. Jennifer Stout, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State visiting from Washington DC, the Malaysian-American Alumni Partnership announced the extension of micro-finance soft loans to each group in the amount of RM 200 to help get these ventures off the ground.

Thanks to all who participated, including 2 Clickers from Terengganu and 3 alumni who traveled from Penang.

We are so proud of all of you.

Stay tuned for details on future Click! Startup Workshops in Kelantan, Terengganu and other cities across Malaysia.
