Education is key towards empowering the next generation. This is why we believe that to truly enrich and touch lives of those in need, we must first start with education.
As a firm believer in lifelong learning, we want to give our best to ensure that those who need it most, regardless of age, have the opportunity to obtain the education they need. Even for adults, it is important to bring the right education and awareness to enable them to maximise their potential.
Education is key towards building leaders of tomorrow. Our aim is to enable as many deserving students as we can to pursue tertiary education, so they can go on to make positive changes to the world.
Through our long-term partnership with Teach For Malaysia, we were able to collaborate with the NGO once again in the TFM Fellowship Programme.
The programme enabled 27 Fellows to reach out to eight schools in Perak, of which the students are primarily from B40/Orang Asli communities. The assigned Fellows were tasked to be the classroom teachers and provide extra tuition to the individuals in need.
Through their hard work, we have impacted over 4,500 students, not only in the classroom but also through various projects that also benefited the local community.
It is truly inspiring to witness the incredible work done by the Fellows, as well as the positive relationship they have built with the schools, students, and local community. We are thrilled to be a part of this journey with TFM and will continue to provide unwavering support to this noble cause.
Yayasan Hartalega, with the support of our IT department, has made a contribution by donating over 50 computers to Teach For Malaysia (TFM) through the TFM fellowship program.
These computers will be distributed among eight schools in Kuala Kangsar and Gerik. By providing these computers, the students will gain access to a wide range of educational resources and information, allowing them to enhance their digital literacy.
We are devoted to our purpose of nurturing young minds, and we are delighted to be a part of TFM’s good cause. Together, let us empower the next generation of leaders and innovators who will shape a brighter and more inclusive future for all.
Education and access to menstrual hygiene products are key to empowering young girls during their puberty phase. We are proud to have partnered with Athena Empowers, a company specialising in feminine hygiene products & services to raise menstrual hygiene awareness for students in SK Bukit Meriam, Kuala Muda Kedah.
We distributed washable sanitary cloths to 50 female students aged 11-12, with the help of their accompanying mothers and teachers in the programme.
In this space, we are committed to our #TouchingLives journey by giving back to the communities around us, and we hope to do more in the long run.
Through Yayasan Hartalega, we collaborated with Athena Empower to raise awareness about menstrual hygiene. This programme brings together over 100 participants aged 11-17 years from Trong Perak's community area, alongside their mothers and the Wanita Perak Secretariat's support.
We distributed boxes of washable sanitary cloth, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly menstrual hygiene solution to the participants.
We stay committed to #TouchingLives in the communities around us by promoting health awareness.
Learning never exhausts the mind. Embodied in our SHIELD values of learning, we are committed to #TouchingLives of the community by engaging in various education initiatives. Through Yayasan Hartalega, our #TeamHartanians have collaborated with Teach For Malaysia (TFM) in facilitating 60 students from Kolej Vokasional Kuala Selangor for Student Leadership Programme.
This enriching 3-month programme has widened the learning curve of the students around leadership and innovation qualities, significantly focusing on four essential skills including social emotional, communication and entrepreneurship mindset.
Kudos to our dedicated Hartanians who joined as the facilitators of this programme. We hope the knowledge shared throughout the programme will bring these students to a greater height in their future success pathway.
Yayasan Hartalega’s partnership with TFM began in 2018 to address Menstrual hygiene Empowering at-risk & COVID-19 school contributed RM1,870,000 to support TFM’s efforts in continuously equipping management underprivileged youth programme and empowering students to become agents of change. This year, we reached approximately 2,054 students and teachers through TFM. In 2021, Yayasan Hartalega’s donations comprised:
In addition, 30 Fellows (instructors from TFM) were supported through the Fellowship Pre-service Programme sponsorship.
In an effort to support menstrual poverty concerns among rural B40 communities, Yayasan Hartalega partnered with Athena Empower, Perbadanan Perpustakaan Awam Selangor and Wanita Berdaya Selangor to help educate girls aged between 13 to 17 years old on menstrual hygiene. The initiative was aimed at boosting confidence in young girls to better manage their menstruation and overall health.
The menstrual hygiene management programme also shed light on related topics such as what to expect during puberty and the physical, mental and emotional changes during menstruation, among others. Under the programme, more than RM120,000 worth of hygienic materials were distributed to date.
Marking our second year collaborating with Discover Muay Thai (DMT), a social enterprise organisation that aims to empower at-risk and underprivileged Malaysian youth, Yayasan Hartalega kicked off an intensive four-month development programme in FY2021 to teach youth the fundamental life values of Muay Thai, followed by a post academy employment programme to pursue meaningful careers in sports and health.
The four-month programme consisted of two components, namely the DMT Academy Programme and Work Placement and Monitoring Programme. The DMT Academy focused on various modules such as basic English language skills, entrepreneurship skills, customer service, volunteering sessions, team building, financial management, as well as ethics.
Subsequently, the Work Placement and Monitoring Programme was aimed at providing financial security and upskilling opportunities by placing alumni of DMT Academy with other DMT partners for a minimum of three months after graduation. The programme has successfully helped eight participants in securing gainful employment and continues to provide mentorship.
The COVID-19 School Programme was aimed at supporting students undergoing their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) examinations during the pandemic. Yayasan Hartalega supplied COVID-19 packs to approximately 6,000 students from schools in Bestari Jaya, Kuala Selangor, Sepang and Banting.
Each pack consisted of face masks, hand sanitisers, food vouchers and informative leaflets to spread awareness on COVID-19 preventive measures. Along with this, we donated hand sanitisers and sanitising equipment benefitting 9,000 students across 18 schools.
In line with our SHIELD values: Learning, we strongly believe that everyone should be given access to education to reach their fullest potential.
This is why we have been working with Teach For Malaysia (TFM) for the past 5 years. Our work covers 5 states in Malaysia, Selangor, Johor, Sabah, Sarawak, and Perak.
Through Yayasan Hartalega, we’ve supported up to 50 teachers, created the Learning Box, an online Tutoring program with 500 in-service teachers, a Distance Learning website with online classes, and a Student Leadership programme.
We met up with some newly sponsored fellows and they will be starting their journey as teachers in a few villages of Orang Asli in Perak. Through our commitment towards
Touching Lives, we hope to be able to enrich the lives of the community surrounding us.
We launched the Yayasan Hartalega x MyKasih Foundation Student Bursary Programme in 6 primary schools at Bestari Jaya, Selangor.
Through this programme, 600 students will be received a monthly allowance for the next 8 months via their student smartcard cashless system to pay for necessities from their koperasi and meals at their canteen. We believe this will help the students to be more focused in their studies.
