AGATHIANS SHELTER is an orphanage for boys that was founded in 2003 by a team of young adults. It was set up as a sanctuary to save a group of children from being turned out to the street and to provide a home for them.
Our volunteers decided to start a home to care and shelter these children. The home occupies a rented premise in Petaling Jaya. The volunteers commence of seven committee members who showers love and care on the 20 children that reside in the home. The home employs three full time staff as caretaker and a volunteer administrator, who handles the day-to-day administration work.
The children are from various backgrounds. Some are orphaned and some only have a single parent who cannot afford to feed them and others are either abandoned or neglected. The children in the orphanage range from the ages of 5 to 14.
Agathians Shelter is a Non Govermental Organisation (NGO) therefore, is very much dependent on public and corporate contributions. The monthly expenses for running the Home is approximately RM 13,000. The expenses are mainly spent on rent, utilities, food, education and medical bills.
The home also runs activities like internal and external tuition by volunteers, motivational talks, counseling sessions and emotional trauma healed through pranic healing.
All they need now are love and tender care in order to have a bright future. Besides that, the home also needs people to show some mercy towards these children by donating to the Home.
