This charity concert was organised by Friends of Perak Women For Women (PWW), where all proceeds from the concert are donated to PWW, a non-profit organisation that aims to enhance the status and lives of women in Perak, regardless of race, religion or social background. The main challenge faced by PWW is maintaining temporary board and lodging for women and children in crisis.

As such, the organisers are appealing for support to help the women not only to get out of abusive relationships but also develop a sense of self-worth that is essential in achieving success.
