LTAT Foundation Celebrates 84 Military Orphans With Ramadan Iftar and Education Support
KUALA LUMPUR – The LTAT Foundation organised a special Ramadan iftar gathering to honour 84 students from the Armed Forces Tahfiz School and Orphanage (STAY ATM), highlighting its commitment to supporting the welfare and education of children from Malaysian Armed Forces families.
The event served as a meaningful platform to bring together government representatives, corporate partners and community stakeholders who share a common goal of improving the well-being and educational opportunities for these students.
According to the LTAT Foundation, the programme was held as part of its ongoing corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives aimed at empowering the younger generation within the military community through education and welfare programmes.
Through the event, several organisations contributed financial assistance and resources to strengthen the educational environment and provide better support for the students.
Corporate Contributions Support Educational Initiatives
Among the contributions presented during the event was a CSR donation of RM21,000 from Desatera Sdn. Bhd., delivered by its director Brigadier General (Retired) Baharudin Che Din to representatives of STAY ATM.
The LTAT Foundation also allocated an additional RM10,000 as part of its education-focused CSR initiative to further enhance learning opportunities for the students.
The contribution was handed over by the foundation’s Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Dr Mohd Nizar Haji Sudin.
Additional support was provided by IRAT Hotel & Resort, which contributed RM73,200 through LTAT Senior Director of Property Zairuddin Zainal.
The funds will be utilised to support student welfare programmes, educational activities and development initiatives designed to improve the learning experience for the students.
Encouraging a Culture of Reading and Knowledge
To further encourage intellectual development, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) contributed a collection of educational reading materials to the students of STAY ATM.
The contribution was presented by DBP Magazine Division Chief Editor Dr Rosmani Omar.
The donated books are intended to promote a culture of reading while broadening the students’ knowledge beyond their religious studies.
Such initiatives aim to develop well-rounded individuals who possess both strong academic understanding and deep religious values.
