"This month's winner is truly a worthy recipient of the award as the judges recognised and commended their endeavours in promoting goodwill and friendship regardless of race, religion and nationality.

"Dignity for Children has also been supporting children of needy foreign nationals, which exemplifies the exact kind of muhibbah spirit that the award aims to acknowledge and foster," he added.

MACROKIOSK chief executive officer Datuk Kenny Goh congratulated Dignity for Children, applauding the NGO's efforts to break the cycle of poverty through transformative education.

"The judges were particularly impressed by their (Dignity for Children) efforts as they truly embodied the spirit of Muhibbah.

"We hope that this award will continue to inspire others, as well as impact the future generations, to further encourage muhibbah as a part of the Malaysian way of life," he said.

In April, the NPC and MACROKIOSK launched the NPC-Macrokiosk Muhibbah Awards to honour individuals, groups and organisations that best show the true spirit of muhibbah in Malaysia.

The award includes a cash prize of RM2,000, a certificate and vouchers from top regional brands such as Tealive, Jaya Grocer and natural yoghurt brand llaollao.
