About
Kamakshi Child Care Home's (KCH) success has attracted the attention of various government and private sectors to join hand in hand with Kamakshi Child Home. Following this, the care centre continues to help more children in need.
This year, we continue to be surprised by 2 children from Kamakshi Child Home, Mr. Saravanan and Mr. Majid Khan. Mr. Saravanan has successfully completed his undergraduate studies from Universiti Sains Malaysia and has now proceeded to do Ph.D while Dr. Majid Khan, who has successfully completed his studies in the doctorate of philosophy from the University Malaysia Sabah and is currently a lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University Sains Malaysia. In addition, there are eight children of this centre were enrolled in Polytechnic Institutes and Vocational Schools.
Their success proves that the holistic development method implied in this centre is in line with the mission and vision of this organization. In early 2015, the terms of enrolment of children has been made stricter. Up to now, there are only 7 people who are registered under Kamakshi Child Home. Only those desperate for shelter and safety and lost or abused will be given priority and allowed to remain here temporarily until getting a family or guardian nearby that can take care of these children. This policy change is in line with the concept of "Home Base" which was introduced by the government and this led the policy to a new dimension in the management of welfare homes in Malaysia.
The vision of this new approach is implemented so that these institutions can be independent and achieve sustainability in a long term. Home Base programme is a associate programme or Social Outreach dynamic linking government departments, non-governmental organizations (NGO), families and communities as well as children who need help, especially to people who are single, marginalized, homeless, poor and difficult to get help , Implementation of the Home Base program is quite effective in shaping the nature of human capital in their children as responsible, enterprising, self-disciplined, avoiding the issue of high-risk youth as well as getting enough affection of a single family or caregiver nearby.
