Water appliances company Joven is contributing instant water heaters and water purifiers worth up to RM30,000 to charitable homes nominated by the public as part of its 30th anniversary celebration.

The first to enjoy hot showers courtesy of Joven’s Showering You with Love social outreach programme were the 40 children of Rumah Keluarga Kami (RKK) in Kajang.

The home received RM4,000 worth of water heaters and a water purifier.

Joven managing director James Tan said the main objective of the programme was to uplift the lives of the unfortunate, the poor and destitute.

“We will continue to commit to our corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes to support the underprivileged and to elevate their lifestyle by providing some amount of comfort,” he said.

Apart from RKK, nine more homes will receive the water heaters and purifiers.

Tan said the homes that would receive the water appliances had been tested to certify that the electrical appliances could be installed.

“We carefully reviewed the electrical wiring in the homes to ensure that they are in good condition before agreeing to install the appliances,” he said.

He added that a total of RM21,000 worth of water heaters and purifiers had been given away and this included the cost of installation and wiring for all homes.

“Joven is still open for more suggestions of homes from the public,” he said, adding that they could nominate a home by visiting www.joven-electric.com.

RKK, operated by the Society of St Vincent De Paul, is now equipped with four units of Joven water heaters and one water purifier.

Society of St Vincent De Paul president Emmanuel Culas said the children would enjoy bathing with the new water heaters.

“We are truly grateful to Joven for their generous contributions.

“We have recently moved into a new premises and the Joven water heaters will come in handy as they have been installed in every bathroom in our home,” he said.

The management and staff members of Joven also spent time with the children by treating them to some food and games.
