MyKasih Foundation is a non-profit organisation with a mission to enable underprivileged families to achieve more independence and give their children a chance to break out of the poverty cycle.
Since early 2020, TBEF has been collaborating with MyKasih to support children from the Orang Asli (OA) communities and public primary schools.
In 2021, a total of 662 students benefitted from this partnership.
- 358 students from nine Orang Asli Community Learning Centres (Pusat Didikan Komuniti Orang Asli (PDK))
- 304 students from five public primary schools (Sekolah Kebangsaan)
PDK envisions bridging the gap between mainstream education and the traditional knowledge and heritage of the people. MyKasih and TBEF believe that its 5M Concept is necessary for OA children to gain literacy and onto pursuing higher education. The five Ms are membaca, mengeja, menulis, mengira, and menaakul; respectively, reading, spelling, writing, counting, and critical thinking.
