In May 2021, as the pandemic raged, Tzu Chi launched the Malaysia Solidarity Covid-19 Fund* to help raise funds for medical equipment in various hospitals. Caritas Malaysia participated and raised RM 1 million for the purchase of medical equipment, hence making initial contact with Tzu Chi. During their national meeting, the Catholic Church invited bishops, nuns and committee members from other states on a field trip to visit KL Tzu-Chi Jing Si Hall and Jinjang Recycling Centre on July 30, 2022.
