Do you know single parent are a group of people who could often use a helping hand be it financially or emotionally.

Because they are such a diverse group of people and they are not covered by the usual NGOs and charitable organizations.

This is where “ Parents without Partners (PwP) comes in.

In the recent of Malaysia Day campaign by Carousell to support PwP, it has successfully raised funds from the sale of preloved items by the notable Malaysians. The cheque will be proudly presented to PwP at a fun-filled Family Day event. 


A total of RM8, 000 was raised for the campaign’s beneficiary, Parents Without Partners (PWP), a charitable organisation established to help single parents in need, through the sales of preloved items on Carousell donated by notable Malaysian personalities. They were squash legend Datuk Nicol David, Malaysia’s first female ONE Championship mixed martial arts (MMA) athlete and Global Citizen Ambassador Ann Osman, international model and renowned fashion and beauty entrepreneur Amber Chia, professional motorsport athlete and Malaysia's "Drift Queen” Leona Chin, world-class diver Leong Mun Yee, national gymnast Farah Ann and three times national Olympic track cyclist Josiah Ng. The latest to team up with Carousell was Malaysia badminton hero, Datuk Wira Lee Chong Wei, who offered his personal badminton racket that come with an autographed sleeve to the campaign.

“We are very appreciative of the support we have received from Carousell – it’s a really good platform for Malaysians to sell and buy at reasonable prices, which is very helpful for those who are on a budget. We also thank all the people who bid on the items,” said Mr Adrian Ong, Director and Operations Manager, Parents Without Partners. “The daily demands of raising a family are tough, especially for single parents and these funds will go a long way towards daily necessities such as rent, groceries and school supplies for the children.” 

Carousell believes in the importance of giving back, and we strive to be an active participant in building a supportive community not just among Carousell members but among all Malaysians. Ours is a platform that cares, and we hope this Family Day celebration brings families and communities closer together,” said Mr Tang Siew Wai, Country Head, Carousell Malaysia.
