Being Prepared in Times of Trouble

Being Prepared in Times of Trouble

Malaysia is once again facing the devastating impact of floods, disrupting many lives and communities across several states. In such crises, disaster relief efforts play a vital role not just in providing immediate aid but also in building preparedness and resilience for the future.

Today, we speak with William Cheah, the Co-Founder of Kembara Kitchen, a food production social enterprise dedicated to disaster relief and community outreach. They have extensive experience in producing ready-to-eat meals, food preparation, logistics, and mobilising resources during emergencies. In this conversation, we hope to gain on-the-ground insights, the challenges of delivering aid during natural disasters, and how businesses and communities can work together to make a meaningful impact during these critical times.
