Helping to educate the Penans


PETALING JAYA: With the belief that education is the only way to lift an entire community out of poverty, the non-profit accredited social enterprise – Helping Hands Penan (HHP) – strives to provide education sponsorship to Penan students.

Out of 40 ethnic tribes and minorities in Sarawak, HHP director Violette Tan said the Penans are still living in challenging conditions and lacking basic amenities in their villages, with many of their children not going to school.
