The CharityMalaysia.com domain name was created on 1st December 2006.  We officially launched CharityMalaysia on July 8, 2007.

This site was created to meet the following needs:-

1.  

2.

Allow needy people and organisations to raise funds easily, safely, conveniently and efficiently.

Allow funds from donors and philanthropists to reach the needy in a secure and efficient manner.

The creators of this site had the following objectives in mind:-

1.

2.

3.

To help prevent public donations from ending up in the pockets of people who least need help.

To set a standard in professional fund-raising.

To break new ground to be ethical and accountable in an area of philanthropy where there are currently no laws governing the way funds can be raised.

4.

5.

To provide an alternative for NGOs and charitable bodies for professional fundraising.

To be fully transparent to both charitable organisations and donors.  We will let you how much of your precious resources have gone to the charities as well as how much we have received.

6.

7.

8.

To assist the authorities to monitor funds received and disbursed by us, in order to prevent abuse.

To assist small charities like orphanages in the big task of fundraising.

To keep and allow donors to search for information on the latest urgent and deserving cases of charity.  They usually appear in the media. However, by the time the donors manage to find the time and resources they are not able to easily trace and channel their funds to these worthy causes.

The co-founders of the site are Saranjeet Singh, Andrew Chia and Dariff Din.

Mr Saranjeet Singh is from Kuala Lumpur, born in 1967.  CharityMalaysia.com is his brainchild.  He heads our marketing team.  Saranjeet is a go-getter with a proven track record in marketing and project management, a capable planner and businessman.  He has always felt it a pity that many do-good organisations have to practically beg for money to maintain their noble cause.  Saranjeet has been a regular donor to these projects but regretted that his efforts are not enough.

Non-profit organisations need to run programs which will ensure a steady flow of funds and he decided to use his skills to help them achieve that goal.  He wants to be the one businessman whose endeavours will bear fruit to be shared with the less fortunate.

Mr Andrew Chia lives in Kuala Lumpur, was born in 1962.  A full-time investor by profession, he is in charge of the implementation of this project.  Andrew's passion is in financial education.  He thinks that financial ignorance is hurting a lot of people everyday.  His aim is to set up a fund to for this purpose to educate Malaysians on how to achieve financial independence.  Andrew loves travelling and durians.  His current donations go to the WWF Malaysia and Sunbeams Home.

En Dariff Din hails from Kuala Lumpur and was also born in 1962.  Dariff has been active in charitable organisations since his school days.  He is currently a network marketer.  Dariff's passion, amongst other things, is in computers.  He loves to explore the new dimensions in both hardware and software.
