Yayasan Chow Kit

About

Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK) is a non-profit organization that caters to the needs of children in and around Chow Kit. We run two drop-in centres in Chow Kit and one safe home for children who are in need of temporary guardianship. We operate in partnership with Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat, and a group of strategic partner comprises of Foundations, corporate companies as well as NGOs. YCK developed out of Nur Salam and was incorporated on 19 January 2011. YCK aims to provide a safe space and expose the children to as many positive opportunities to allow each child to reach their full potential. The children’s center ‘Pusat Aktiviti Kanak-Kanak’ caters to children from the age of 7-12 and our teenage center known as ‘KL Krash Pad’ welcomes youths from the ages of 13 to 21. All the centres provide food, age-appropriate facilities, and set of programmes designed based on 5 Pillars of the followings: Education, Psycho-Social, Sports & Health, Spirituality, and Recreational. We have an array of activities offered such as games, art classes, psychosocial activities, recreational activities, motivational talks, sports activities and educational programs. YCK team ( fondly known as YCK Family ) aspires to tackle issues affecting the local community such as education, foster care, documentation, skill building, adoption, homelessness, abuse and many more. ​ As reflected symbolically by our logo, consider us splashes of colourful paint in an otherwise grey neighborhood, inspiring to celebrate ​and bring positive changes to the lives of our children, the families, and the community.
