Unified National Networks (UNN) recently donated a total of $5,900 worth of Hari Raya vouchers to 118 orphans aged between 5 and 15 years old under the Dana Pengiran Muda Mahkota Al-Muhtadee Billah for Orphans (DANA) charitable foundation as part of the company’s Ramadhan CSR Activities for 2023.
Each Hari Raya voucher from UNN contains a cash coupon issued by YMRM for guardians to redeem textile and tailoring services at any YMRM textile store and make new Raya clothes for the orphans in their care.
Additionally, UNN chose YMRM because of its household name amongst the locals and because it has branches in all four districts, which makes it convenient for orphans and guardians to redeem the Hari Raya vouchers.

The first part of the Hari Raya voucher distribution was carried out via a donation drive-through at the UNN base stations located in Belait, Tutong and Temburong.
The drive-through was planned to provide a quick and easy way for orphans and guardians to receive the Hari Raya vouchers from UNN.
Guardians need only drive into the base stations, where volunteers from UNN stood by to register and hand out the Hari Raya vouchers to the orphans.
