In February, AirAsia Foundation kicked off its mentorship activities by partnering with Angels of Impact Singapore in its inaugural ASEAN Women Impacting Social Entrepreneurship (ASEAN WISE) incubation programme for women and indigenousled community-based enterprises. Over the course of the year, AirAsia Foundation delivered two masterclasses and provided pro bono rebranding counsel to Maranao Collectibles, a Filipino social enterprise that aims to revive the fading art of weaving in Marawi. The city of Marawi is still recovering from years of armed conflict that has displaced 98% of the local population. In October, the Foundation also supported Malaysia-based P Lab in organising the BAIKSelangor business competition funded by the Selangor State Government to promote products made by businesses in the state’s new villages. In the area of direct business support, AirAsia Foundation continued to invest in growing its Destination GOOD social enterprise shop. To manage costs and lower sales as a result of lockdowns, Destination GOOD closed its physical store in Kuala Lumpur in November 2021 in order to concentrate available resources into growing its online presence. For the financial year ending December 2021, the Foundation invested an additional RM80,000 in working capital for Destination GOOD. In turn, Destination GOOD earned a turnover of RM50,767 through the sale of products by 26 social enterprises. Separately, airasia farm collaborated with the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA), Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries (MAFI) and Department of Agriculture (DOA) to promote Harumanis mangoes grown by over 20 farmers across Perlis. This initiative lead to 10.2 tonnes of mangoes being sold over a period of one month. (ii) Humanitarian Relief and Rehabilitation Covid-19 Response Throughout 2021, Capital A persisted with efforts to encourage Allstars and members of the public to be vaccinated. We deem this a clear priority to protect our people and guests in the immediate term and to help countries get on the path of economic recovery over the longer term. From June to July 2021, Allstars volunteered at Mega Vaccination Centres in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor to support Malaysia’s mass vaccination drive. A total of 509 Allstars performed non-clinical roles from registering and monitoring the temperature of vaccine-takers to crowd management. Vaccination campaigns were also organised at the Group’s offices in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. In May 2021, a special vaccination drive was arranged in RedHouse, Jakarta, benefitting 1,689 Allstars. In July 2021, a similar drive was conducted in RedQ, Sepang, where 283 Allstars and 637 family members and friends were vaccinated. A total of 95 Allstars volunteered at these events to manage traffic flow and ensure adequate social distancing. To help our colleagues in Jakarta cope during a peak infection period in July 2021, AirAsia Indonesia distributed Covid Care Kits to 1,578 Allstars, including those infected with mild symptoms, to aid in their recovery. Each kit contained multivitamins, hand sanitisers and face masks. In April 2021, AirAsia Philippines distributed 1,500 REDy Care Kits containing face masks, hand sanitisers and alcohol wipes valued at RM5,500 to travellers at Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. AirAsia Philippines also supplied 100 medical kits valued at RM8,154 to infected Allstars to help them monitor their health status. Each kit was equipped with a thermometer, an oximeter as well as basic medicines such as paracetamol, cough syrup and vitamins.
