Rumah Keluarga Kami

Society of St.Vincent de Paul in Kajang set up this home. It is registered with the Social Welfare Department. It serves as a home for underprivileged children. Since its inception, over 100 children have resided in the home. At present there are 39 children at the Home; age four to 18.

Our aims

The home’s main aim is to provide these underprivileged children with proper nutrition, care, education, a safe place to stay, other basic needs and most of all, love. It is hoped that the efforts of the home will be able to help the children to become useful citizens in society.

The home is managed by nine committee members, all of whom work on a voluntary basis. The day-to-day administration is handled by a full-time House Administrator and three House Mothers.

The home owns a single-storey bungalow house with five rooms in Kajang which is partly financed by a bank loan. It also rents on a long-term basis, a single-storey terrace house nearby which is used as a boys’ wing. It has been renovated to make space for a large study hall.
