How Your Giving Makes a Difference

Your support empowers local families and children through three pillars of change.

1

Uplifting the Vulnerable in Sabah

Sabah has the highest poverty rate in Malaysia — 17.7% in 2024. Through our Community Development Programmes (CDP) in Mukim Tulid and Mukim Tatalaan, we work with local partners to address:

Education

We organise after-school Children's Club programmes that help children aged 12 and below develop essential life skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Health & Nutrition

We train mothers of malnourished children on proper child feeding practices and preparing nutritious food.

Livelihoods

We empower poor households to grow and make products they can sell for income, improving their economic resilience.

Child Protection

We run workshops on positive parenting and child rights, and strengthen local child protection systems.

Uplift the Urban Poor Across Klang Valley and Sarawak

Through One Goal Malaysia – Eat Right to Play Right, we address malnutrition among urban poor children by combining nutrition with the power of sports:

Sports-for-Nutrition

Children aged 7 to 12 participate in badminton sessions where they learn about nutrition in an active, engaging environment.

Community Kitchen

We give parents and caregivers practical lessons on preparing nutritious, affordable meals.

Coach Empowerment

Local volunteers are trained to conduct badminton sessions that include vital nutrition and child protection messages.

3

Speaking Up for Lasting Change

We do more than just provide aid. We advocate for the fundamental rights of every child in Malaysia. This includes:

✓ Strengthening child protection mechanisms and systems for reporting abuse and neglect

✓ Speaking up on issues affecting children in Malaysia to raise awareness and influence policies

This is what we do. And you can help make it happen with a monthly contribution!

Why Give Monthly?

It's all about sustainable, transformational impact.

By giving every month, you ensure consistent support for local communities, providing the stability children need to grow and thrive.

What Needs to Change in Malaysia?

Despite progress, the reality for many children in Malaysia remains urgent:

📈 Rising Poverty

1. The national absolute poverty rate rose from 5.6% in 2019 to 6.2% in 2022.

🍽️ Child Malnutrition

2. In 2024, 8.1% of children aged 5-19 suffered from stunting while 28% were overweight or obese.

⚠️ Children in Danger

3. 9,624 children needed protection from abuse and neglect in 2024, a 12.7% increase over the previous year.
