The Malaysia we see every day has a flipside.

Glittering, bustling cities…

Yet 6.2% of all Malaysians live in absolute poverty. Sabah has the highest poverty rate – 19.7%.

A foodie’s paradise…

Yet 11.5% of children under five are dangerously underweight for their height.

So much natural splendour…

Yet many children in remote communities can’t access or attend school.

This is the Malaysia World Vision sees.

But we can make it a home where every child thrives!

BUILD A HOME FOR HOPE

Here’s how your gift can change lives!

This year, all gifts from our Giving Catalogue will go towards the Malaysia Assistance Fund, in support of:

One Goal Malaysia

Through One Goal Malaysia's Eat Right To Play Right programme, we're bringing sports-for-nutrition training to urban poor communities in the Klang Valley, as well as at-risk youth and primary schools in Sarawak — helping children grow healthier through better food and active play.

Sabah Community Development Programmes

Since 2014, World Vision has supported children and families in Sabah through Community Development Programmes in Mukim Tulid and Tatalaan. These programmes promote health, safety, and lasting change. Your gift empowers local communities to build a brighter future.

And here’s where your gifts will go:

One Goal Malaysia Gifts

Sports and Nutrition Education for Children

Ignite a child's passion for play and health on the badminton court! Give RM300 so children can enjoy 12 weeks of exciting badminton training woven with nutrition lessons, along with the equipment they need.

Volunteer Coach Training

We bring badminton to local communities – and volunteer coaches keep the rally going! Give RM300 to launch a community hero’s career with a two-day training session in badminton and nutrition.

Community Kitchens for Parents

Our nutrition habits are shaped at home. Give RM300 to turn a parent into a culinary champion through six transformative sessions, graduating with recipes and tools to craft nutritious meals for their children.

Farmer Empowerment Toolkit

Making ends meet is a major challenge for families in rural Sabah. Give RM300 to provide one farmer with targeted training and tools – yielding bountiful crops and products that sustain families!

Equipping our Partners in Health

With few healthcare facilities, it’s not easy for rural parents to keep their children healthy. Give RM300 to empower two dedicated health committee members in providing nutrition knowledge and health support to mothers.

Child Protection Committee Empowerment

In small communities, keeping children safe is a team effort. Give RM300 to equip one Child Protection Committee member to spread vital child protection knowledge that builds safer communities.

Community Leader Training

Whenever World Vision supports a community, we empower those who live in it to take charge of their futures. Give RM300 to transform one community member into a community leader through hands-on training.

Future Leaders Clubs

Children’s Clubs give children safe places to learn, play and grow. Give RM300 so ten children can access six joyful, life-changing club sessions, where they learn self-protection, build friendships, and become future leaders!

Train the Trainers

A good Children’s Club needs leaders who are positive role models for children. Give RM300 to equip three Children's Club Facilitators with the skills to manage club sessions!

Stories of Change

GIFT A HEALTHY FUTURE

Frequently Asked Questions

The Giving Catalogue (previously known as Gifts of Hope) allows you to improve the lives of children, families and communities in Malaysia by giving impactful and sustainable gifts such as sports and nutrition education for children, agricultural training for parents, and safer, child-friendly communities.

Poverty and malnutrition are major global humanitarian issues, and children and communities in Malaysia are not spared from these problems.

Malaysia’s absolute poverty rate stands at 6.2% in 2022. Over the years, Sabah has remained as the state with the highest poverty rate, recording the highest incidence of absolute poverty in 2022, at 19.7%.

In addition, Malaysia faces a triple threat of child malnutrition: stunting, wasting and obesity. 21.8% of children under five suffer from stunting, 9.7% from wasting, while 14.8% of children aged five to 17 years are obese.

World Vision Malaysia seeks to respond to these challenges through local children and child-related development work. This includes our Community Development Programmes in Sabah and One Goal Malaysia’s Eat Right to Play Right programme. Funds raised through this year’s Giving Catalogue will go towards the Malaysia Assistance Fund in support of these programmes, helping us build a better home for all Malaysians.

Gifts from this year’s Giving Catalogue will go towards the Malaysia Assistance Fund in support of:

One Goal Malaysia’s Eat Right to Play Right initiative, which brings sports-for-nutrition training to urban poor communities in the Klang Valley, as well as at-risk youth and primary schools in Sarawak.
Our Community Development Programmes in Mukim Tulid and Mukim Tatalaan, Sabah, which empower local children and communities to overcome poverty through sustainable, holistic development work.

For each gift, you may choose to give RM300, RM50 or any amount. RM300 is considered the optimal amount for each gift and will have the biggest impact. However, giving RM50 or Any Amount will still contribute strongly towards supporting our work and giving children in Malaysia hope.

At World Vision, we seek to ensure that all resources entrusted to us are used as efficiently and effectively as possible. If donations exceed what is needed, or where local conditions prevent programme implementation, World Vision will redirect funds to equally important programmes that help children and families in need.

We will provide a report on how the gifts were delivered and the implementation of supporting programmes. The report for this year’s Giving Catalogue will be available in our Annual Review in mid-2027.

When you donate a gift on behalf of a friend/loved one online, you can send him/her an e-gift card to let him/her know about the special gift you have donated in his/her name.

e-gift cards are only available when you pick your gifts online; you will receive ONE e-gift card with each transaction.

Our commitment is to have your gifts implemented by the members of our local field teams. The gifts are implemented in accordance with the timeline of activities carried out in a community, which is planned annually.

To be eligible for tax-exempt status, a majority of funds raised by World Vision Malaysia must benefit Malaysians. As our funds are primarily channelled overseas to help children living in the poorest areas of the world, donations to World Vision Malaysia are not tax-deductible. So while the gifts in this Giving Catalogue will go towards children and communities in Malaysia, tax deductions do not apply.
