I've recently become quite involved with PERTIWI's Soup Kitchen, and have been quite impressed by the ladies' values and dedication. While PERTIWI (Pertubuhan Tindakan Wanita Islam) is an Islamic association first, they provide assistance regardless of race and religion.
PERTIWI has a little known child sponsorship programme called Projek Anak Angkat (Orphan Project), which has been in operation since the 1970s. Graduates of the programme have gone on to attend university and begin their own careers. As a believer in child sponsorship, I'm surprised that I hadn't heard of the programme. I hope this blog entry will help others find it.
Projek Anak Angkat aims to ensure that needy children are able to have a proper education to give them a better chance of lifting themselves out of poverty. PERTIWI liaises directly with schools, who identify children in need. This ensures that the money donated is used solely for the sponsored child's educational needs.
