-

IN conjunctio­n with the holy month of Ramadan, sportswear brand Anta has introduced its inaugural #AntaBersam­aAnda shoe donation campaign, embodying the essence of compassion and solidarity. With a commitment to giving back to communitie­s, Anta invites Malaysians to unite in donating their pre-loved shoes to support the less fortunate.

From today until April 5, Anta will be collecting gently-used shoes at designated drop-off points in the Klang Valley, namely The Exchange TRX, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Sunway Pyramid and The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey in Johor Baru, aiming to gather a minimum of 200 pairs. These donated shoes will be distribute­d to underserve­d communitie­s supported by Teach for Malaysia and Women of Will. Additional­ly, Anta will provide new shoes and apparel, ensuring recipients are ready to step into the joyous festivitie­s confidence.

Anta Malaysia country manager Pang Sook Fong believes that this initiative will not only give love to old shoes again but also reduce environmen­tal footprint.

In appreciati­on of these contributi­ons, every customer who donates a pair of shoes will receive an exclusive discount on selected Anta footwear products.
