Yellow House KL, founded by Shyam Priah, Acumen Fellow (2023 cohort) has inspired us, YTL Foundation, to collaborate with them to bring a new lease of life for the community they serve - something Yellow House has done with thousands of its own beneficiaries over the past 12 years.
Now, we are inviting the public and good-natured Malaysians to also take part in a fundraising activity that we believe has the potential to impact hundreds, if not thousands more lives among Malaysia’s underserved communities.
We are proud to introduce the YTL Foundation x Yellow House KL rejuvenation initiative.
YTL Foundation x Yellow House Rejuvenation - How Does It Work?
Inspired by the past impact and future potential of Yellow House, the YTL Foundation with the assistance of the YTL Group’s construction division has undertaken to thoroughly renovate the Yellow House building.
This rejuvenation initiative carries the express mandate to maximise its space, increase its functionality, and create a welcoming atmosphere for volunteers, and the underserved communities, while enabling Yellow House to add-on various social business initiatives that could benefit the surrounding community - including an urban gardening initiative, and a safe space for promoting mental health and well being.
The overall cost of the rejuvenation project is expected to reach RM 275,000.
In support of Yellow House’s rejuvenation and future ambitions, YTL Foundation has donated RM50,000 to Yellow House to kickstart the fundraising, matching the RM50,000 that Yellow House has raised to-date. The balance will be raised through donations from you, our generous supporters.
The Yellow House rejuvenation is set to begin in September 2023, and every ringgit you donate will count towards a wonderful shared space for those in-need. YTL Foundation and Yellow House KL seek your goodwill so that together we can make a difference to the lives of the vulnerable communities served through the Yellow House programmes.
