HOW IT ALL BEGAN

From a Local Initiative to a National Movement for Child Protection.

In 1991, a group of compassionate community leaders led by Dato' Seri Nazir Ariff came together in Penang with a shared mission - to protect and care for vulnerable children. What began as a local shelter has grown into a national child protection movement serving families across Malaysia.
