Kuala Lumpur – In sharing the joy of Deepavali celebration, Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, Sesama Mara, organised an interactive mental health workshop with children at Rumah Kebajikan Karunai Illam, Kuala Lumpur, and extended contributions to two other charity homes: Pertubuhan Kebajikan Thangam Illam (Ampang) and Persatuan Kebajikan Sri Saradha Devi Illam (Rawang).
The mental health workshop, conducted by SAPOT Warriors, a certified social support platform, alongside Air Selangor’s Hydro Heroes volunteer team helped participants understand and manage their emotions through creative tie-dye clothing activities, adding vibrant colours to their Deepavali celebration.
This marks the second time Air Selangor has held a mental health workshop, specifically aimed at children as part of its continuous efforts to engage with the community and support their mental well-being.
At the same time, Air Selangor also donated essential items such as groceries, food, and household supplies to 83 children from the three participating charity homes.

We also hope to touch the lives of the various segments of society with care and social responsibility through this initiative.”
