Dear Supporters,
We are pleased to share an update on the progress of our continued efforts to support the Bajau children. Thanks to your ongoing generosity, the initial phase of our project has brought meaningful change, and we are now entering a new chapter of deeper engagement and sustainable impact.
Continued Impact on the Bajau Community
Over the past few months, your contributions have created tangible improvements in the lives of the Bajau children:
1. Improved Health Outcomes
The distribution of medical kits and hygiene products has resulted in a noticeable decline in preventable illnesses, such as skin infections and gastrointestinal diseases. Local caregivers have reported stronger resilience among children due to improved access to basic medical care.
2. Expansion of Hygiene Education
Building on our early success, we conducted follow-up hygiene workshops tailored to the Bajau community’s unique lifestyle. As a result, children and families have become more informed about essential hygiene practices, and local schools are now incorporating regular handwashing routines and health education into daily activities.
What’s Next?
We understand that lasting change requires continued commitment. As we move into the next phase of this project, our goals include:
• Local Health Advocates Training
We will empower selected community members with basic first aid and health education skills, enabling them to support their communities even when external resources are limited.
• Support for Education
We plan to collaborate with local schools to provide essential learning materials and promote health-centered curricula that support the holistic development of Bajau children.
Thank You for Being Part of This Journey
Your support has not only improved daily living conditions but has also restored hope and dignity to the Bajau children. Because of your kindness, these children now look toward a brighter, healthier future filled with opportunity.
We are truly honored to have you as part of the U9change community. Together, we are creating lasting and meaningful change—one step at a time.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The U9change Team
