During the last Eidul Adha season, together with volunteers from Emaan Inspection, ECC joined hands with Free Food for All (FFFA) to bring the blessings of Qurban directly to those who need it most. 🤝

Together, we took to the streets of Chai Chee, going door-to-door to ensure every beneficiary received a care package of 1kg of fresh Qurban meat and 1.5kg of rice — because no one should be left without a share of this blessed occasion.

Thank you to all contributors who had supported FFFA’s incredible ground operations. Seeing the volunteers work alongside FFFA’s dedicated team was a reminder of what community spirit and collaboration truly looks like.

Making sure everyone gets their fair share — one family at a time. 🍚🥩❤️

Proud to share ECC’s Executive Director Hafiz is at the 16th Social Business Day 2026 in Savar, Bangladesh — as part of his Master in Social Business programme with the Albukhary International University.

Over two incredible days, he joined changemakers, academics, and social entrepreneurs from across the globe to explore how business can be reimagined as a force for good — from finance for peace to universities as social incubators.

He also had the humbling opportunity to meet the inspiring Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus — the very man whose vision of a world with zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero carbon emissions continues to inspire movements like ours.

This is exactly the kind of **Change That Matters.** 🙏
