In July 2024, global broker XM took a significant step towards supporting local communities by teaming up with the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) to host the 'Jalinan Kasih Autism' event in Gombak.

The initiative, which aims to raise awareness of autism and support families of autistic children, emphasizes XM's commitment to making a positive impact beyond the financial world.

The 'Jalinan Kasih Autism' event was designed to engage the community and highlight the challenges faced by people with autism. XM contributed by organizing drawing sessions that included participants of all ages, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere. In addition to the interactive sessions, XM provided necessary supplies such as soft toys to provide moral support to the children, helping them feel more comfortable and supported during the event.

Continuing its support, XM donated a projector and screen to NASOM, providing the organization with the necessary tools for future education and outreach events. The broker also paid the utility bills for NASOM, alleviating some of the financial burdens the organization faces in its daily operations. In addition, XM provided lunch boxes to all attendees, ensuring that all attendees were well-served throughout the event.

NASOM, founded in 1986, has become a pillar of support for people living with autism in Malaysia, focusing on providing services to children and their families. The organization's efforts have been instrumental in improving the quality of life for many by offering education, therapy and advocacy to those in need.

Through its partnership with NASOM, XM aims to make a meaningful contribution to autism awareness and support the invaluable work that NASOM does. The partnership reflects XM's broader commitment to corporate social responsibility and its dedication to giving back to the communities in which it operates.

This initiative by XM serves as a reminder of the importance of corporate involvement in social projects, demonstrating how business can play a crucial role in raising awareness and support for important issues such as autism.
