Programme provides 6 months of financial support, mentorship & platform to help young Malaysians pursue their aspirations
NESCAFÉ today unveiled “Projek Hidupkan Duniamu”, a refreshed youth empowerment initiative that will invest up to RM100,000 to help young Malaysians transform their passions into meaningful opportunities and work towards a more sustainable future. Building on the foundation of the NESCAFÉ Youth Entrepreneurship Programme (NYEP), the six-month programme will provide selected high-potential young Malaysians with financial support, mentorship and a platform to pursue what matters most to them with greater confidence and purpose.
The programme supports participants in three meaningful ways: providing financial assistance to give them greater flexibility to focus on their ambitions, connecting them with dedicated mentors to guide their journey and celebrating their progress by sharing their stories to inspire others. Through this holistic approach, NESCAFÉ aims to help bridge the gap between passion and sustainable opportunity.
Rooted in NESCAFÉ’s global Make Your World philosophy, “Projek Hidupkan Duniamu” reflects the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue what brings purpose and meaning to their lives.
"Through our engagement with communities and frontliners across Malaysia, we witnessed the power of purpose and determination in helping people overcome challenges and pursue what matters most to them. Their stories reminded us that while ambition is abundant, access to opportunities can often make the difference. Through Projek Hidupkan Duniamu, we hope to provide young Malaysians with the confidence, support and opportunities they need to take meaningful steps towards their future," said Juan Aranols, Chief Executive Officer, Nestlé Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei.
The initiative was inspired by insights gathered through NESCAFÉ's ongoing 'Ngopi Dulu & Kekal Bersemangat Bersama' campaign, which connected the brand with Malaysians from different communities and walks of life. While every story reflected resilience and determination, young Malaysians stood out for their drive to pursue their ambitions while balancing studies, careers and financial responsibilities.
To celebrate these stories and bring the spirit of Hidupkan Duniamu to life, NESCAFÉ is hosting the "Hidupkan Duniamu Bersama NESCAFÉ" concourse event from 8 to 13 September at the Lower Ground East Court, IOI City Mall Putrajaya. Visitors can connect with inspiring frontliners and community representatives, enjoy interactive activities and discover the latest additions to the NESCAFÉ range, including NESCAFÉ Espresso Concentrate, NESCAFÉ Spanish Latte and NESCAFÉ Tiramisu Latte. The event will also feature appearances by NESCAFÉ celebrity partners Black Hanifah and Yusof Hashim.
Young Malaysians with a passion they aspire to turn into a sustainable opportunity are encouraged to stay tuned to NESCAFÉ Malaysia's social media channels and upcoming roadshows for more information. Details on the application process, selection criteria and financial support available under Projek Hidupkan Duniamu will be announced soon.
NESCAFÉ will continue bringing the spirit of semangat, optimism and resilience to communities across Malaysia through future Hidupkan Duniamu Bersama NESCAFÉ roadshow stops, including Sunway Pyramid and Queensbay Mall.
