Big Dataworks Sponsors TISSA-UUM Food Bank Program, Empowering Student Well-being

On 29th April 2025, Big Dataworks proudly marked a new chapter in its community outreach journey by sponsoring the long-standing Food Bank Program by the Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz School of Accountancy (TISSA), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). With a sponsorship of RM8,400, the initiative is set to support B40 students—both local and international—throughout the academic year. The program has been a vital resource for nearly a decade, and this collaboration ensures its continuity and deeper impact.

The officiation ceremony of the TISSA-BDW Food Bank Program was held at TISSA and attended by UUM representatives and Big Dataworks. The ceremony was led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Raja Haslinda Raja Mohd Ali, Deputy Dean of Research & Innovation, and Puan Nur Wahidah binti Abu Bakar, Head of Business Development & Strategy at Big Dataworks. It was a meaningful occasion, attended by lecturers and students alike, symbolizing a shared commitment to student welfare. Notably, the food bank sessions had already begun earlier during Ramadan, providing timely support to students during the fasting month.

The initiative will continue across two semesters in 2025, with a total of 56 scheduled distribution sessions. This effort not only meets immediate needs but also reflects Big Dataworks’ broader vision of contributing meaningfully to education and community development. Beyond the food bank, future plans include internship opportunities, industry certification programs, and the sponsorship of Wakaf Chairs.

As shared by Big Dataworks’ Chief Operating Officer, “We are truly excited to support the Food Bank initiative with UUM. This effort not only aids students in need but also demonstrates a strong spirit of collaboration between industry and academia. We hope this partnership continues to deliver a long-term positive impact.” Through this and future initiatives, Big Dataworks continues to demonstrate its role as a responsible and engaged corporate citizen.
