The birth of AGATHIANS SHELTER is best described to go hand in hand with the saying “a help in need is a help indeed”.

AGATHIANS SHELTER is an orphanage for boys that was founded in 2003 by a team of young adults. It was set up to save a group of children from being turned out to the street and to provide a home for them .

The children are from various backgrounds; some are orphaned, some only have a single parent who can’t afford to feed them and others are either abandoned or neglected.

Our volunteers then decided to start a home to care and house these children.

This is how AGATHIANS SHELTER was born.

THE MANAGEMENT

Agathians Shelter is headed by a committee of seven people who are in charge of adminstration and planning.

The daily operation of the Home is governed by a management team of six volunteers. They are in the Home on rotation basis and serve the children daily needs. However, the Home hires three full time employees to act as care taker for the children.

In short, this home is operated on voluntary basis.

Agathians Shelter is a Non Govermental Organisation (NGO) therefore, is very much dependent on public and corporate contributions. The monthly expenses for running the Home is approximately RM 13,000.

Currently, donations received are insufficient to cover the monthly expense. There are times where, the committee member of the Home will bear the shortfall. This is to ensure the home operates without any hiccups.
