You also get to drop-off unwanted or used bras in the “Bra Banks” which are also located at any Neubodi stores nationwide.
Neubodi will donate gently-used items to victims of sex trafficking, enabling their rehabilitation into society as they earn a livelihood selling second-hand bras. Beneficiaries of the “DONATE” initiative are communities in Malaysia, Cambodia, Nepal, India and Africa including those in poverty for whom bras are sought-after essential item – providing comfort and self-esteem.
Bras not suited for donation will be collected by Life Line Clothing Malaysia, keeping textile away from the landfills. What happens then is, by using proprietary technology, raw materials of bras such as spandex, nylon, metal wire and plastics will be converted into reusable solid fuel commonly used to power industrial boilers and generators. This “RECYCLE” initiative is Malaysia’s first activity of its kind.
The partnership between Breast Cancer Welfare Association Malaysia (BCWA) and Neubodi aims to increase public awareness that breast cancer is ‘gender blind’, and promote the importance of self-examination and early detection while raising funds for BCWA’s “Hospital Angels” programme. In this initiative, trained specialists will visit newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and help them learn to cope with the disease in an encouraging and positive environment.
The event at 1 Utama Shopping Centre’s Ground Floor - Highstreet Concourse will be until 8th October 2017. So you can still drop by today to check out the activities at the event. RM10 from every PINK BRA purchase will be donated to Breast Cancer Welfare Association Malaysia (BCWA).
