SHELTER HOME 4 (KAJANG)
Our
Beginnings
Shelter,
a registered voluntary organisation, was set up in June 1981 to cope with the
escalation of child abuse and neglect cases in Malaysia. From an initial group
of five abandoned children on one, we now operate four homes with more than 80
children and teenagers under our care while our kindergartens provide free
learning opportunities to another 250 children living in squatter communities.
Shelter

The
girls are in need of protection from abuse, neglect & poverty. They attend
secondary schools, receive support & guidance
OUR
MISSION
-
To rescue & protect children from trauma of physical & sexual abuse, extreme neglect, abandonment & witnessing of domestic violence.

To help the children to overcome their initial trauma & restore self-acceptance, dignity & their trust in humanity by giving them unconditional love, care, faith & an education.

To reunite the children with their families where possible.

To reinforce the above by regular follow-up, so they become useful citizens.
