MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN

TAN SRI FAIZAH MOHD TAHIRChairman

“Skills development, training, creation of self-employment opportunities and access to capital; all stemming from providing solid educational grounding, should be given the utmost priority as they would yield the most permanent and durable outcomes. The after-effects can then be exploited to further the efforts of the other approaches, creating a positive domino effect and making the goals and objectives easier to attain.”

SUPPORTING SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS

PROVIDING BASIC COMMUNITYSERVICES

REHABILITATION / BUILDINGOF HOMES

SUPPORTING BASIC FOODNEEDS

For the hardcore poor, life is harder without basic amenities like water, health services, education and sanitation. Yayasan Sejahtera provides access to basic community services like sustainable and clean water supply through the use of innovative and affordable methods. With access to these amenities, it would be easier for the beneficiaries to embark on livelihood projects to generate better income for their families.

Yayasan Sejahtera aims to address the lack of basic housing amenities for extreme poor households. We support low-income households to perform basic repairs to their homes to reach an acceptable standard of living.

We believe in alleviating poverty through encouraging employment, augmenting skillsets, capacity-building, or providing access to capital for small business owners. As the vast majority of these families depend upon agriculture and small scale business to survive, we strive to increase their capacity to make such activities more productive and profitable for them.

Yayasan Sejahtera gives assistance through supporting the dietary needs of beneficiary families with innovative community-and home-based farming on vacant plots of land in and around their homes.

However, he observed that some of theother farmers were harvesting better qualityand greater amount of produce than him.
