Kasih Foundation promotes and organizes activities that help people to live fully, both physically and mentally. Through its Kasih Place, it conducts training in self-development, giving emotional support to others and Buddhist philosophy on universal compassion in dealing with living and dying. As it believes that people who live fully, eventually die well. The types of activities include:

• Meditation
• Cooking and eating healthily
• Support groups for care givers and patients

Our needs

As a non profit charity organisation, Kasih Foundation depends on public support. However, public fund-raising is labour intensive and taxing on the public who are already facing financial challenges. Kasih Laman Sdn Bhd was therefore established to manage and operate Kasih Place to fund Kasih Hospice’s free-of-charge services and other free community services of the Foundation. In this way, the Foundation aims to enable KHC and its public-serving activities to enjoy a higher degree of self-funding and self-sustenance
