0Caltex Fuel Your School Creates Impact for Students in Negeri Sembilan
Chevron Malaysia Limited, which carries the retail brand Caltex®, successfully completed its annual community campaign, Caltex Fuel Your School in partnership with MyKasih Foundation. In its fourth consecutive year, the Campaign had once again further raised the awareness in driving change and providing equal self-development with proper classroom facilities for students of high need schools in Negeri Sembilan and Malacca by enhancing a better environment and further promoting the learning of Science, Technology, English and Mathematics.
This year, out of 25 classroom projects funded for Negeri Sembilan, Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampong Parit and Sekolah Kebangsaan Pendidikan Khas Seremban struck the most wins and were awarded with learning materials worth RM20,000 each. The submissions contributed to a 60 percent increase in project submissions compared to the overall campaign last year.
The learning materials awarded to all winning projects of participating schools in both Negeri Sembilan and Malacca created an impact reaching a total of 1,241 students. In Negeri Sembilan itself, the Campaign had reached out to more than 300 students with the support of Caltex® users who purchased petrol using the Caltex® JOURNEY Card from 15 October to 14 November with RM2 pledged to the classroom projects. Funds generated were channeled towards purchasing materials such as computer notebooks, projectors, interactive white boards, electronic dictionaries and laboratory equipment, to name a few.
