Sumbangan RM7.2 juta beri belia berisiko peluang kedua

Pengarah Urusan Amalan Setar (M) Sdn Bhd R Rajendran has donated RM7.2 million to MySkills Foundation to provide vocational training and personal development programs for at-risk and disadvantaged youth. This significant contribution brings the organization's endowment fund to RM15 million, which is RM5 million short of the RM20 million target for the coming year.

MySkills Foundation, founded in 2010, initially operated from a rented shop in Puchong before moving to a warehouse in Klang and finally establishing a permanent campus in Kalumpang in 2018. The foundation trains 150 students annually at their Kalumpang campus, with the capacity to accommodate 250 to 300 students. The donation is crucial for ensuring the foundation can continue to support vulnerable youth without relying solely on donations and grants.

The organization aims to build a new center in other regions of the country, including Johor, Penang, and the East Coast, to better reach at-risk youth and offer them a fresh start. MySkills not only provides vocational skills training but also focuses on personal development, life skills, and preparing students for long-term employment.

The foundation trains 150 students each year, with a capacity to support 250 to 300 students. Rajendran has previously donated RM400,000 to MySkills for the construction of a dormitory for male students named Bala's Hall of Residence, in honor of his brother.
