Last Christmas, Hotel Nikko Kuala Lumpur set up a gigantic gingerbread Christmas Charity Cottage to raise funds for Jason Ng, Nur Natasha and Yayasan Harapan Kanak-Kanak Malaysia. (YHKM).

Jason aged 3 from Bukit Mertajam, Penang and Nur Natasha, aged 3 from Ipoh, Perak required funds to undergo corrective heart surgeries while Yayasan Harapan Kanak-Kanak required funds to build a special home for children suffering from HIV/AIDS.

Through the generous support of the Hotel's supporters and public, the Hotel collected a total of RM30,000-00 for the above recipients.

Jason and Nur Natasha under the 'care' of New Straits Times' Donation Unit have since successfully undergone corrective heart surgeries. In view of this, the amount of RM15,000-00 collected for both Jason and Nur Natasha are now channeled to The Malay Mail Big Walk 2006/07, a project aimed at collecting funds to purchase artificial limbs and walking aids to help children with bone cancer who have lost the use of their legs while Yayasan Harapan Kanak-Kanak received RM15,000-00 which will go towards the building of the Home.

Michael Borostyan, Hotel Nikko Kuala Lumpur's newly-appointed General Manager presented the cheques to Encik Saiful Azhar Abdullah, the Deputy Editor of Malay Mail and YBhg Tan Sri Datin Paduka Seri Hajjah Zaleha Ismail, Head of Advisors Board for Yayasan Harapan Kanak-kanak Malaysia (YHKM) at a simple cheque presentation ceremony on 28th March 2007 at the Main Lobby area.

In the past, Hotel Nikko Kuala Lumpur participated in various charity projects. Last year, the Hotel's Deepa-Raya Charity Project was organized in collaboration with YHKM, which is under the patronage of YA Bhg Datin Seri Dato' Rosmah Mansor. This project mainly to raise funds to help the less fortunate children, in effort to build 'The Miracle of Hope Home', shelter and medical care for children suffering from HIV/AIDS.
