A COMPANY WITH A HEART
At the very heart of QNET is the philosophy of RYTHM, meaning Raise Yourself To Help Mankind. This grounding concept is embodied in the RYTHM Foundation and its Malaysian chapter, the Vijayaratnam Foundation. These Foundations are independent charities established by the QI Group of Companies providing a home for the Group’s philanthropic work all around the world.
Both Foundations serve local communities and international bodies to establish and carry-out vital community programmes, while also partnering with other non-overnmental organisations and charity organisations in cooperative charity activities. Some projects include:
- Vijayaratnam Foundation’s specialised Taraana school for Malaysian children with learning disabilities
- RYTHM Foundation’s Taguig Project in the Philippines, which feeds, clothes and schools hundreds of squatter children
- The on-going ‘Footprints’ child mentoring programme by Vijayaratnam Foundation, which partners underprivileged kids with business people in the community
- Educational programmes for women and orphans with the Better Nepal Foundation
- The Murid 1 Pokok (1 Pupil 1 Tree) school environmental initiative by the Malaysian Government
- India’s Akshaya Home for the destitute and homeless of the poor Madurai District
- Emergency assistance during some of the world’s worst natural disasters, including the 2004 Asian Tsunami
