โ€œThis award not only honours YKPM but it also a tribute to all our partners including Yayasan Hasanah, Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme, UNDP’s Orang Asli Micro-Grant Facility funded by Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia, Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC), JAKOA, Jaya Grocer and most important of all to the Orang Asli themselves who are the true heroes.

โ€œWithout their input, commitment and vision, this project would not have been effective in uplifting poverty for many.โ€
