The Soroptomist International Ipoh’s drop-in centre for underprivileged children was recently recognised for its good work.

A woman's group has set up a learning centre to get kids off the streets, believing it will lead them to a brighter future. Two years ago, members of the Ipoh Siroptimist Club (SI) went to a local neighbourhood, Buntong, to deliver aid to the families of two accident victims. There, they also noticed that the neighbourhood kids were out on the street.
