Human Aid Society Selangor (HASS) is a non-governmental organisation and growing collaboration among refugees and local Malaysians to address the immediate day-to-day living concerns and overall issue of mass displacement of the Rohingya people and other stateless persons living in Malaysia.

In early 2017, we established the Human Aid Selangor Society (HASS) and Rainbow of Love Learning Centre with the purpose of having one dedicated centre for coordinating aid services and providing learning opportunities to displaced children and their families. The core members of our team comprise of dedicated volunteers and experienced working professionals from different backgrounds and sectors, including students, artists, filmmakers, public defenders, entrepreneurs and teachers.

We are registered with the Ministry of Social Welfare (JKM) and operate as a non-profit regulated under the Non-Governmental Organisations Act 2016.
