Malaysia – PKPKM Sabah

Support for the educational activities undertaken by the PKPKM Sabah

COUNTRY / PROBLEM

Malaysia is a country with a population of over 31 million people, located in Southeast Asia, on the Malay Peninsula and the island of Borneo. A part of the Malaysian society are stateless people, including Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, indigenous people originating from India, and descendants of illegal immigrants from Indonesia and the Philippines. Also stateless are the Bajau people, who, among other places, live in the northern and eastern areas of Malaysia.

For several hundred years, the Bajau people inhabited inshore waters, spending almost all the time on boats and living off fishing – the sea was their home. At present, few of them live in the traditional way, and most are discriminated against. Frequently, the Bajau people fail to obtain appropriate documents that would allow them to work legally. Some of them live in makeshift huts built on stakes driven into the seabed. Children have limited access to medical care and education.

ORGANISATION

PKPKM Sabah (Persatuan Kebajikan Pendidikan Kanak-Kanak Miskin) is an organisation that helps many Bajau children in Malaysia’s second largest state – Sabah. It aims to provide its beneficiaries with education and broadly-defined care. The organisation runs 10 centres, where it gives support to nearly two thousand children.

PROJECTS

Kulczyk Foundation supported educational initiatives of PKPKM Sabah.

Dominika Kulczyk

These children have sun and joy in them. They have lots of energy and really want to learn, but they need someone to guide them.

Our aid projects help us understand the problems the modern world is facing. Our documentaires and educational programs drive change across societies .

Documentaries

Our documentaries shine a light on community problems in different parts of the world, and present organisations and local unsung heros who benefit from our support. In Poland, the Domino Effect TV series is created in cooperation with TVN - the largest private television in Poland. Through this work, we are able to reach those who might have never heard about a specific issue or the way in which they can help. This partnership results in a number of long form documentaries, which have been recognised at international film festivals. As part of our partnership with the CNN Freedom Project, we also produce a series of documentaries for English speaking audience. The series explores the issues of modern slavery and human trafficking, and is regularly broadcast on CNN International.

Educational programs

Since the beginning of its existence, the Kulczyk Foundation has been working to shape the socio-emotional competences of children and adolescents. We prepare unique lesson plans adapted to various stages of education. These focus on explainining the complex world of universal values and emotions, encourage reflection and the ability to draw conclusions. Ultimately help to build knowledge about ourselves and the world, and to shape attitudes towards the reality that surrounds us. As part of this commitement, we also provide workshops, conferences for teachers and faculty staff. We believe that wise education, implemented in a spirit of freedom and empathy, is a basic component of sustainable development for every human being, as well as a chance for a good start in adult life. No matter where they are from.
