• Entrepreneurship training through programs like Keusahawanan CIMB Islamic and iTEKAD CIMB Islamic Rider Entrepreneur.

• Upskilling for single mothers and micro-entrepreneurs via MicroBizReady and Upskill Training.

• Educational support through free tuition for B40 students, teacher training, and literacy programs.

• Basic needs assistance, such as food aid (Program Bakul Makanan) and school supplies (Back-to-School Programme).
