ONE Minute Giveback

Join Us in Making a Difference – ONE Minute Giveback at 21ABC

As part of the 21st Asian Battery Conference (21ABC) in beautiful Borneo, we’re proud to continue our tradition of giving back through our ONE Minute Giveback initiative.

This year, we’re focusing our efforts on creating a meaningful impact in the local community of Kota Kinabalu—especially for children in need. It only takes one minute to show you care, but the difference we make together will last a lifetime.

We would like to see as many delegates involved as possible! Join us and be part of something truly special.

Making a Difference—Together

At 20ABC in Siem Reap, Cambodia, we proudly hosted the ONE Minute Giveback, raising over USD $22,000 in donations for the Angkor Hospital for Children. This incredible achievement directly supported critical medical care for seriously ill children, bringing hope to countless families in need. The generosity shown was deeply appreciated by the hospital staff, patients, and their families.

Building on this momentum, we are excited to announce that ABC, in partnership with our dedicated giveback sponsor Sorfin Yoshimura, will once again champion this meaningful initiative at 21ABC. With the collective support of our delegates, sponsors, exhibitors, and speakers, we remain committed to making a lasting impact on the communities we visit.

This year in Kota Kinabalu, we are proud to support two outstanding local organisations:

Seri Mengasih Home

Seri Mengasih is a special developmental school that provides vital educational and life skills training to children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities—without any government funding. Students as young as four benefit from specialised programs that would otherwise be out of reach.

“Many families live in extreme poverty, struggling to provide even basic necessities like food, shelter, or medical care for their children. Affording a place at Seri Mengasih is simply not possible for them.”

Despite keeping fees minimal, many families struggle to secure the funding needed to cover even the small fees requested by the center. As a result, some children may attend initially, only to drop out later due to financial constraints. Through ONE Minute Giveback, we aim to raise funds to sponsor student placements, ensuring they receive the opportunities and future they deserve.

Children’s Home Kota Kinabalu

This caring orphanage provides a safe, loving home to children who are orphaned or come from deeply impoverished backgrounds. While it receives some government assistance, additional funding is essential to provide proper care, education, and brighter futures.

“Children on the streets are highly vulnerable to neglect, violence, abuse, and exploitation. Many suffer from poor mental and physical health.”

Our support will help the Children’s Home continue its mission to protect and nurture these young lives.
