KUALA LUMPUR, December 3 – Global Peace Foundation Malaysia (GPFM), in collaboration with Micron Technology, has launched the AquaConnect Project to address water accessibility challenges faced by Malaysia’s indigenous Orang Asli communities. Supported by a RM1 million donation from Micron, the initiative will improve water infrastructure in four Orang Asli villages in Johor and Negeri Sembilan, including reconstructing gravity-fed systems, installing new piping, and adding sedimentation systems.
Over the next year, AquaConnect will enhance access to clean water, improving health outcomes and empowering these isolated communities. “This project symbolizes our commitment to improving lives and building a future where every community can thrive independently,” said Dr. Teh Su Thye, CEO of GPFM. The project aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in promoting clean water and sanitation.
Amarjit Sandhu, corporate vice president at Micron Technology, emphasized the company’s dedication to sustainability and community impact. “The AquaConnect Project exemplifies our commitment to addressing critical water accessibility issues while supporting our broader sustainability goals.” GPFM urges organizations, government agencies, and individuals to join this vital mission, underscoring the shared responsibility of achieving water security and fostering sustainable development.
