As part of its corporate social responsibility programme during the pandemic, Baiduri Bank arranged for the provision of essential groceries for 60 underprivileged special needs families in Brunei.

As part of the Bank’s pledge to co-create with the community and support local NGOs and businesses, Baiduri Bank partnered with The Impian Project, Dart Logistics and Maju Grocer Supermarkets on this initiative.

The ‘Baiduri Care Kit’ initiative aims to provide some relief for selected underprivileged special needs families in Brunei during the pandemic.

The event, which took place over the span of three days beginning Friday, 10 September 2021 ended on Sunday, 12 September 2021. On the first day of donations, 29 Baiduri Care Kits were delivered to families in the Brunei-Muara district. The following day, 10 families from the Tutong district received their care kits and the remaining 21 families from the Belait and Temburong districts received their care kits on the third day.

Speaking on this initiative, Mr Ti Eng Hui, Chief Executive Officer of Baiduri Bank said, “It is very encouraging to see a number of local companies, both large and small, contribute items such as PPE, groceries and equipment to help combat this pandemic. We also want to do our part by providing some assistance to underprivileged special needs families in the country who may not have the time nor the facilities to go out and purchase their daily necessities. We sincerely hope this humble contribution can help alleviate their burden.” He further elaborated, “Through our CSR programme, Baiduri Bank will be running a few more projects in the coming weeks to help with the situation that we, as a country, are facing.”
