Give back to society when you purchase from twelve Buy For Impact retail vendors – discover food, fashion, lifestyle and gifts that benefit different groups like single mothers, refugee youth, the hearing impaired community, and the environment.

Buy for Impact Movement is a flagship initiative under MaGIC’s Social Innovation programme, with a goal to cultivate a conscious buying behavior and encourage the use of purchasing power to support products that give back to society or the environment.

The anticipated return of live performances on the RIUH stage will be headlined by Ushera, Colour of Voices, Mafidz, Merakki, MAI and ASK Dance Company with a special Raya showcase.

This year, in addition to the PRISMA initiatives under way, RIUH introduces RIUH 24/7 – its online movement this April. The online arm complements the physical platform to connect creatives with the community based on five key pillars: Retail pop-up stores, Food, Live Acts, Workshops and Showcases.

“Our mission to bridge the gap between creatives and the community is further tested but enhanced by the hardships endured especially by the independent artisans, talents and homegrown brands RIUH have come to be synonymous with. We’re hopeful that our return to the scene will provide the deserving brands, talents and the community a much-needed boost – this time not only on ground, but online as well through RIUH 24/7.”

The key initiatives under the PRISMA program driven by Kementerian Komunikasi and Multimedia (KKMM) are:

  • RIUH 24/7 – a website that acts as an online curated platform for the creatives and the community. The new website will include a directory of local brands, a blog and more.
  • RIUH Talks – a capacity-building programme for aspiring and up-and-coming creative entrepreneurs.
  • The RIUH Show – a curated video series showcasing performances from the performing arts and music sector.

    RIUH is a curated creative platform that aims to enhance the creative ecosystem by connecting homegrown brands, creative entrepreneurs, creators and artists to the community.
