On 14 June 2025, a meaningful initiative was successfully carried out at the Perlis Orphanage Welfare Organization through the Solar-Powered Hydroponic System Project. The project aimed to introduce environmentally friendly modern agricultural technology while adding value to the welfare institution through a sustainable and competitive farming system.
This project was the result of a strong collaboration between the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs), the Department of Agriculture Perlis, Zaha Bina Utara, and the orphaned children. This effort not only promotes sustainable food sources but also provides the children with opportunities to learn about modern farming methods using renewable energy.
