Reaching out to kids in poor urban communities

Safe space to learn: Kidzone Mentari is a one-stop centre nestled in Block 5 of Desa Mentari in PJS 6, Petaling Jaya, that benefits about 250 children of all ages through education and self-development activities.

Children in the urban poor communities may lack opportunities in aspects such as better after-school childcare and extra self-development activities.

To address the situation as well as empower and protect this group, two non-profit bodies in Petaling Jaya have engaged with the less fortunate and vulnerable communities.
