Project Background:

In Malaysia, there is a high number of refugee centres whereby the children are not receiving any proper education while they are trying to lead better lives. Apart from that, UNHCR estimates that only 30% of refugee children of school age in Malaysia actually goes to school. Therefore, in accordance with SDG 4: Quality Education, we strive to provide equal educational opportunities to the refugee community in Malaysia. This is done by providing education on subjects such as verbal and written English, and Basic Mathematics to the children.
