Spreading HOPE to the Marginalized

Pertubuhan Pembangunan Harapan Selangor (or HOPE as they’re more commonly referred to) was founded in 2005 with a mission to help improve the lives of underprivileged communities. On today’s show, we catch up with the co-founder of HOPE Selangor, Prema Arasan to talk about some of the Covid-19 struggles faced by communities living in estates, and some of the work HOPE Selangor has been doing to help.
