Underprivileged family of seven gifted with newly refurbished home by IJM Land

With Ramadan just around the corner, leading developer of Seremban 2, IJM Land Berhad is not forgetting to enliven the lives of the underprivileged by gifting a family of seven, Mr Hazizi and his family with a fully restored and comfortable home through their annual Home Rehabilitation Programme (myHome) - bringing about a blissful and fulfilling Ramadan celebration along with a start to a well-refined livelihood for the family.

After a decade of building hopes and fulfilling dreams for those in need through myHome programme, IJM Land never fail to help the underprivileged families even during the pandemic in compliance with the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).  This year, IJM Land returned again with a hardened perseverance to provide underserved families with a safe and conducive living environment. In adhering to their long-standing commitment of “Bringing Life to Ordinary Spaces”, IJM Land reached out to Mr Hazizi, a 46-year-old father (a general factory worker with menial income) and his family with the determination to refurbish their home to favourable conditions that will, in turn, develop a quality of life that the family rightfully deserved. 

As the sole breadwinner for his family, Mr Hazizi is struggling to keep his family of six afloat and fed despite the financial aid given by the Department of Social Welfare (JKM). Along with his wife, Madam Noraisah, they have been trying their best to provide each of their children with the substantial care that they need, as the children have their own special needs conditions to be taken care of. 

“During our first visit to their house, we can see that Mr Hazizi and his wife thrive on making their children happy where they will do just about anything to see their faces light up with a smile — but that comes at the expense of their own happiness when reality hits and they were struggling to make ends meet. Because of these circumstances, we arrived to rebuild their lives and homes through our myHome programme that will not only restore a decent roof over their heads, yet foster a safe and liveable home for the family,” said Dato’ Hoo Kim See, Senior General Manager of IJM Land Berhad. 

To be granted the honour of being the recipient of this year’s IJM Land myHome Programme was a joyous moment for Mr. Hazizi and his family as they greeted the newly rehabilitated home right before the upcoming festive season. Upon receiving the certificate of completion for their home during the handover ceremony, IJM Land also equipped them with other essential items including groceries, medical masks and hand sanitizers to lessen their burdens in this new normal. 

Led by Dato’ Hoo and the IJM Land team, they carried out refurbishment works which include repair, touch-ups, hacking, dismantling, supply and installation in every main part of the house. One of their partners, Golden Hover Group of Companies have also contributed three sets of study table and chair to create a conducive learning environment for the children. The complete cost of the repairs, refurbishment, furniture and appliances came up to an estimated RM40,000 with generous contributions and support from HHR Setia Sdn Bhd, Jotun Paints (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, Midas Touch PTL. 

“A home is a precious place where all their happiness begins, and with such a big family, they will need a proper home to nurture their hopes and dreams. We believe that we are not only building a house or repairing some broken pipes, but a sustainable future for them to lead a peaceful and comfortable livelihood from here,” concluded Dato’ Hoo. 

The Home Rehabilitation programme is IJM Land’s core Corporate Social Responsibility activity which  coincides with IJM Land’s motto ‘We Make Good Better’. For more information on myHome programme, please visit http://seremban2.ijmland.com/.
