Why We do This?

The KitaJaga community is well-known for its peer-to-peer organization and its commitment to achieving food security, stable basic supplies, and provide financial aids. This alleviates the COVID-19 pandemic’s hardship faced by the people. The platform hopes to save lives by allowing individuals who are motivated to help others on their own terms and comfort effectively and aid directly within their communities. We believe in the grassroots movement from the small scale of individuals helping one another, and slowly build communities to tackle bigger issues faced by our society. Our vision is to empower individuals and communities to help one another and build a better future for all of us.

The figures above show the rate of hunger in Malaysia according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia and Global Hunger Index (GHI)

One out of every nine people on the planet still does not have enough to eat. According to the Global Hunger Index, Malaysia was placed 59th. We have a hunger rate of 13.5 percent in 2020, which was deemed to be at a ‘moderate’ level. It is projected to rise by the end of 2021 and reach a ‘serious’ level as a result of the effects of COVID-19, which is now in effect.

Aside from the hunger issue, the current crisis has resulted in high levels of unemployment across the globe as a result of the global economic downturn. Since 2020, the rate of unemployment has risen dramatically, and it is set to continue to rise through the end of 2021. Consequently, most businesses are unable to do business as normal and must lay off part of their employees to alleviate the financial strain placed on the organization. Malaysia, on the other hand, is likewise dealing with the same problem as well. The unemployment rate has risen, and many employees are unable to maintain or feed their families as a result of the lack of a consistent source of income. Because of this, KitaJaga has taken the necessary steps to enable people to assist one another in a peer-to-peer manner by giving nutritional assistance and medicines, as well as establishing a path to peace, stability, and prosperity for those who have survived the recent pandemic, COVID-19.
