01 — About the project

Project Summary

Orang.Baik is a community-based initiative launched in November 2024 that nurtures a culture of generosity and shared responsibility, and encourages people to give, connect and support one another. Every Friday, food is distributed outside mosques to congregants as a symbol of warmth, kindness and community care.

Unlike traditional food-aid programmes, Orang.Baik is not limited to low-income groups; it is open to all Friday prayer congregants. This approach reinforces Islamic values that emphasise giving and inclusivity, and becomes a symbol of blessings shared together.

Interestingly, Orang.Baik also applies a circular-economy approach by involving a beneficiary family that runs a food business as the programme's main supplier — supporting a local small enterprise while ensuring the programme's economic sustainability.

In addition, Orang.Baik plays a strategic role in broadening the visibility of the Altruis brand, opening the way for more people to engage directly with the organisation and its core mission of empowering communities.

Goal

Nurturing a culture of generosity and shared responsibility, encouraging people to give, connect and support one another.

Approach

Food distributed every Friday at mosques/suraus, reinforced by a circular-economy model involving a beneficiary family as the supplier.

Where it runs

Mosques & suraus within a 5km radius

Throughout 2025, Orang.Baik expanded to 31 mosques across Kuala Lumpur, distributing nearly every Friday and rotating according to a set list — a wider network of kindness reaching more of the community.
