Who are we

Mr. Veerasingam and his wife felt pained whenever coming across children who were abused or neglected, and so decided to do something to help. The home strives to give proper care and education to poor and abandoned children.

There are currently 32 children staying at the home, ranging from one to 18 years old. There are a few single parents living with them who are helping out with daily chores. The home is also in contact with a few orang asli villages, and provides them with some of their donated items (donated to them) from time to time.

Only two paid staff are employed to help with the chores and cooking.
