Getting Educated is Challenging When You’re Poor

The Story

Poverty and education are intertwined. Globally, 745.1 million adults are illiterate, 114 million young people lack basic reading and writing skills where two-thirds of them are women and in Malaysia, with an average income of RM2,537, 91.1% of our B40 community only have SPM or below education levels, which causes them to be vulnerable to economic shocks and hardship. 

My name is Jespuvan Singh. I am one of the founders of #KLSCS (Kuala Lumpur Sikhs Community Services). We do street feeding and I have been invited as a guest teacher on the free online learning platform - SOLS 24/7 Education. Serving on the streets has thought me the importance of education and how important it can be to the underprivileged. It may just be their ticket out of the hand-to-mouth existence. 

I need your help to raise funds in order to provide free quality education for our B40 communities. Your donation of just RM10 can ensure they receive a free SOLS 24/7 online education for a month. Your contribution will help support dedicated teachers in conducting virtual outreach classes and activities. In this way, our B40 communities can educate themselves today at no cost. You can make a difference. 

Let’s take action now and make that difference!!
