Projects
Everyone Deserves A Loving Home
The GiveLight Foundation is looking to set up a chapter in Malaysia to provide a home for orphans in Malaysia. We are looking for five committed members to make this happen. It could offer a life-long career opportunity if you are passionate about helping displaced children find a loving home in Malaysia.
Empowering The Autistic Community
We are looking at the feasibility of replicating Blue Star Recyclers’ successful recycling business model here in Malaysia to help provide job opportunities for the autistic community. We require project team members to discuss with relevant stakeholders to set up operations here in Malaysia.
Develop Entrepreneurial Skills
In the post-pandemic era, we will require entrepreneurial skills that will set us up for business success. We are looking for committed mentors in entrepreneurship to set up a Malaysian cohort with International Strategic Management. The Resilient Entrepreneur Program will help our young alumni members become self-sufficient and sustainable.
Leadership Skills For Refugees
Volunteer and mentor refugee leaders with Young Lives Development Center to provide a foundation for community development, entrepreneurship and leadership for the displaced refugees from Myanmar, Syria, Afghanistan and other regions in need. Expertise in design thinking and social entrepreneurship is a bonus.
