Dignity for Children Foundation aims to empower underprivileged urban poor children to break the cycle of poverty through quality education, positively transforming their lives and the lives of the community around them. Dignity achieves this by establishing high quality learning centres; implementing specialised learning environments to develop children academically and socially thus empowering them to become productive members of society.
Started more than 24 years ago, in 1998, in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur with only 20 students, Dignity is now a learning centre with more than 1,860 poor and vulnerable children ranging from 2-17 years old. It provides quality education and care in a secure environment for pre-school to Form 5. Many of the children had gone through the school and passed with IGCSE ‘O’ level qualifications. Without Dignity’s education provisions these underprivileged children would not be attending school and will be open to and engaged with undesirable activities on the streets.
Our goal has always been to provide quality education which in turn breaks the cycle of poverty and nurtures a generation of young people who will impact, influence and transform society in a positive way.
Empower A Child programme provides the sponsored children with one - year funding and empower them with the certainty to receive the quality education and holistic care which he/she needs to develop academically and emotionally in the growing up years. If there are no outside interventions with the opportunity to have a decent education many of these children are destined to repeat the cycle of poverty.
