MHC Asia, Singapore’s largest third party medical administrator, adopted Goducate as the charity that it would support as part of their corporate social responsibility program.
It has provided Goducate with a nice office for free. MHC staff often chip in to help when we need help, using MHC’s office equipment to do Goducate’s work. Even their sub-contractors help us! This has allowed Goducate to fulfill its pledge to send every cent of each designated donor dollar to the recipient without any deduction for administrative costs.
Whenever, there is a need for funds for our projects, MHC is often the first to give. Thus far, MHC and its CEO, Dr Low Lee Yong, have donated six vehicles to Goducate – two each for Cambodia and Philippines, one for Batam and one for Sabah. It has pledged to give 10% of its profits to Goducate.
MHC staff has visited Goducate’s projects in Indonesia, Malaysia and Cambodia. MHC’s CEO Dr Low, who came from a very humble background to be a medical doctor and win Singapore’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2010, is a firm believer that education is the best way to help needy Asians help themselves.
MHC is indeed a role model for corporations to follow in corporate social responsibility.
