About TOMORROW
Quote from Malaysia’s Vision 2020:“… every child born should be brought up in a healthy environment, provided with all necessary protection against diseases, receive proper nurturing, care and affection, receive general and higher education as far as possible, receive appropriate skills in necessary fields, imbued with cultural and human values”.
According to Ministry of Education, Malaysia cited by UNICEF Malaysia, two of the many issues concerning children are listed below:
(a) Low school achievement rates.
(b) Shortage of parental time for child-rearing and care of young children which lead to the lack of quality services for early childhood care and development.
The issues addressed above are issues ordinary children in Malaysia would face. However, these problems are far more significant among orphans who do not receive guidance from their parents.
Yes, we are very concerned with the current facts and feel an urgency to bring changes to the lives of these children. Aren’t you? Let us work together to building a colourful ‘TOMORROW’ for the children of today.
Vision
Developing orphan children into high achieving and self-motivated individuals through the improvement of their academic results, time management and communication skills, and better self-confidence in achieving as much as their peers if not more and be brave in facing the society for a colourful ‘TOMORROW’.
Objectives
•To increase the number of high achievers among orphans through discipline, positive thinking and encouragement.
•To improve the academic results of the orphan children
•To provide equal attention, support, love, and opportunities to these orphan children by treating them like any other children
