C27, a leading digital agency specialising in innovative solutions, has announced its digital collaboration with EPIC Homes, a multiple award-winning social enterprise dedicated to transforming lives and empowering communities through the collaborative act of building homes – with a primary focus on the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia.
The Orang Asli community is among the most marginalised groups in Malaysia, and this partnership aims to harness the power of digital technology to amplify EPIC Homes’ impactful Project 100 mission, which provides homes for 100 Orang Asli families annually.
EPIC Homes has been at the forefront of addressing housing challenges faced by the Orang Asli community through its innovative modular and cost-effective home-building approach. Thanks to its straightforward assembly and easy-to-understand build instructions, an EPIC Home can be built from the ground up in just 3 days by a team of 30+ volunteers (with no prior experience).
By leveraging C27’s expertise in digital solutions, EPIC Homes aims to streamline its operations, enhance outreach efforts, and empower more individuals to become Extraordinary People Impacting Communities (a.k.a EPIC!).
“A big part of our vision is to positively impact the human condition with the creative and digital tools at our disposal. This naturally encompasses social causes,” states Fazil Fuad, CEO of C27. “EPIC Homes already has an amazing brand and reputation, it’s a great start, and we can’t wait to see where this goes!”
John-Son Oei, co-founder and CEO of EPIC Homes, shared his excitement about the collaboration, saying, “This timely partnership with C27 gives us the ability to broadcast our mission to people who may not have heard of us before, and that is so important to us – because we can’t do this alone. Our goal is to build and uplift each other, together, to bridge the urban and rural divide.”
C27 has also collaborated with EPIC Homes to develop and launch the Project 100 website, designed to engage volunteers and donors who are eager to make a difference. Interested individuals and corporations can visit the site for detailed information on the initiative, upcoming builds, volunteer opportunities, home sponsorships and more.
Together, C27 and EPIC Homes aim to make a real difference and have an everlasting impact not only on the Orang Asli community but also on all the volunteers.
