This paper bag charge initiative commenced on 1st December 2020 and is ongoing until 30th November 2021.
Thanks to H&M's funding, Dignity is able to fund key operational expenses this year (2021) - which was especially critical as Malaysia faced lockdowns and business/ operations were hugely interrupted and affected.
While the Transformational Enterprises have been operating when there is no lockdown, classes have remained largely online with the exception of a cohort of 100+ Secondary students who participated in the Live-In-Program (boarding at Dignity for 2 months when regulations permitted). Dignity strove to provide face-to-face skills training where possible, and responded to changes by experimenting with online-based skills classes and smaller cohorts.
