Be Unstoppable! Everybody Can Shine – Persatuan Kebajikan Sri Eden Selangor Dan Kuala Lumpur by CSR Team & ESG Team

By CSR Team and ESG Team

Persatuan Kebajikan Sri Eden Selangor Dan Kuala Lumpur, known as “Sri Eden” is a non-profit organisation serving children and youths with diverse learning difficulties and behaviour disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Dyspraxia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, etc.

The centre offers early intervention, academic learning, training, and living skills to enable children/ young adults to lead independent lives in the future. There are currently 46 children/ young adults from ages 3 to 24, mainly from B40 and M40 households who struggle to get proper healthcare and education.

Those who have moderate to severe disabilities will not be suitable for open employment. Hence, Sri Eden has started a mosaic craft workshop that encourages employment for these youths to express their creativity and uniqueness.

At the centre’s open space balcony, children who are artistic are encouraged to create coasters, hotplates, decorative displays, tableware, etc.

It shouldn’t matter how slowly a child learns. What matters is that we courage them to never stop TRYING.

The centre also initiated an additional activity for the children, to equip them with another motor skill which turned food waste or unwanted kitchen ingredients such as eggshell, fruit skin, tea/coffee bags into organic fertilizers for their flower pots and plants. This enabled students to engage in more learning activities. The compost fertilizer can be packaged for sale to parents and the public through charity or fundraising events. The profit from the sale of compost will be income to each young adult who was involved.

As part of our CSR initiative and in collaboration with ESG, we proposed to donate one unit of New Maeko MunchBot Composter to Sri Eden in order to support this program as a recurring income for the centre and to inspire children/ youths to lead fulfilling lives.

Kids are getting their hands dirty in the garden! They prepare pots with nutrient-rich soil, composted by MAEKO Muchbot, to plant tomato plants & chilli seedlings.
