Happy Home
We are a team of passionate medical students from Taylor’s University with a belief that a seed of an idea fertilized by perspiration and perseverance can grow into tree of success. Therefore, we aim to bring improvement of quality of life to an orphanage named “Pusat Jagaan Beribuan Kasih”This orphanage was founded by Ms Kavita with a group of friends few years ago. However, her group of friends eventually let go of the orphanage after managing it for a few years for family matters. Fortunately, a sponsor was willing to fund the orphanage at that time. However, after funding the orphanage for 2 years, her sponsored eventually pulled out and left to the United States. That left Ms Kavita in quite a predicament as she had 10 orphans in her orphanage at that time. However, Ms Kavita did not have the heart to send the children away and eventually decided to sustain the orphanage, hoping that things would turn on well.Currently, the orphanage survives on the mercy of irregular donations of the good public. Ms Kavita, who is also the only person with a steady income in the centre (she does shift work when she is not in the orphanage), runs the place with help from a few older children who was also raised in the orphanage. Whenever financial donations were insufficient, Ms Kavita would meet that financial need with her own salary. Living conditions are sufficient for survival but questionable in terms of a healthy environment. She has about 45 residents under her wing of which there are 25 children of which 5 are disabled children and the rest are adults without a home.
