Help us to give them a basic education and a proper chance in life
Children in Sabah's vast oil palm plantations Stateless children in towns and children of seafaring bajau laut
Borneo Child Aid Society is a Malaysian Non-Profit social NGO providing education for thousands of children, who live in plantations and other remote areas often far from schools in the state Sabah on Borneo.
-
These children are without access to basic education because of distance, poverty or legal status.
-
We are presently providing education for more than 9000 underprivileged children. Without education many of these children would be child labourers or confined to a life as street children.
-
Help us to give these children a better future.
