We’ve come a long way since our first class. These are all our Projects and Reports that show how much more impact our community has now
Projects
Student Development
Our curriculum includes daily lessons on Malay, Mathematics and development programmes in cultural and performance arts. Advanced students learn English through virtual tutors.
Marine Stewardship
The Bajau Laut are a community that are very much in tune with their homes above the seas, so our marine modules were launched to integrate their cultural practices with modern marine knowledge.
Waste Management
Waste disposal services are scarce in
rural parts of Sabah, and so much of
household waste has no place to go but the environment surrounding these settlements. Our waste management programme provides a safe avenue for island residents to dispose of their trash.
Community Healthcare
Besides our community-run Mini Clinic,
we provide nutritious meals for our
students, supplements for pregnant and
nursing mothers, and run personal
hygiene and health campaigns. We have
also had mental health workshops for
students and staff
