SHELTER home for children

(brief history) SHELTER home for children, a registered welfare organization, was set up in june 1981. guided by the vision of giving children ‘at risk’ a childhood and future by protecting, guiding and healing them, and by building strong communities and loving families, SHELTER’s services and initiatives are aimed at:

- Providing care for abused, abandoned, neglected or at-risk children through our residential homes, counselling, therapy and other services.

- Raising public awareness on child abuse/protection, parenting and youth issues, and equipping individuals with relevant skills to detect signs of abuse and to take action.

1) SHELTER currently has 3 homes in and around pj and kl:

- SHELTER 1 – for children ages 4-12 years old (address: no: 4, jalan tinggi 6/12, petaling jaya.)

- SHELTER 2 – for teenage girls 13-18 years old (address: no: 3, jalan hujan emas 6, taman oug, kuala lumpur)

- SHELTER 3 – for teenage boys 13-18 years old (address: no: 11, lorong 8/3b, petaling jaya.)

Presently, we have a total of 41 children in our 3 homes . most of the children go to government schools whilst those who don’t, attend home-schooling or tuition studies in the homes.

2) SHELTER also helps to run 5 refugee schools that cater to some 450 children from myanmar, who are waiting to be repatriated together with their families under the unhcr programme.

3) SHELTER also conduct and do community projects whereby we provide food, clothing and aid to underpriviledged families in and around kl, pj and selangor.

SHELTER home, as an ngo, employs some 26 staff in all the 3 homes, schools and the head office. SHELTER does a lot of fund-raising projects, sending out of newsletters, sponsorship request letters etc to individuals and corporations to request for help in terms of funding. currently, the yearly projects that SHELTER embarks on to raise funds are year-end calendar projects, mount kinabalu charity climbs, charity dinners and other events like golf tournaments, marathon runs etc.
