Threads of Hope Project Update
On 21 September 2026, REC1KL made its first delivery of 40 chemo/cancer pouches to the Women’s and Children’s Ward at University Malaya.
IPP Teresa and Rtn. Vijaya had the opportunity to meet one young patient and his mother and hear directly about their experience. The 9-year-old boy had completed six rounds of chemotherapy and was in hospital for a round of immunotherapy.
His mother shared how the pouch made a real difference, particularly during sleep and play, when the catheter could easily be tugged or displaced. She also highlighted how the press-button fastening helps keep the catheter securely in place, providing additional reassurance and protection.
The design also reflects the practical needs of children undergoing treatment. The soft neck string was comfortable and did not cut into the child’s skin, while the protective film allows the child to bathe daily while helping to protect the catheter area.
What touched us most was knowing that these seemingly simple design details came from personal experience. Since the initiative through Sewn With Love for Little Warriors began in November 2025, the pouch has been thoughtfully refined based on what children and parents actually experience during use— making it more practical, comfortable and safer for young patients.
This first hospital delivery marks the beginning of REC1KL’s journey together with Sewn With Love for Little Warriors to help bring these thoughtfully designed pouches to more children undergoing cancer treatment across Malaysia.
Every stitch carries care. Every pouch is designed with a little warrior in mind.
Rotary Clubs, individual corporate sponsors and organisations can help us adopt a hospital for:
🧵 One Month – provide care packages for one hospital for a month
🧵 One Quarter – support a hospital for three months
🧵 One Year – help sustain the programme for a full year
You can also come on board as a Project Partner, supporting the project through sponsorship, materials, volunteer support or other resources.
Together, we can help make a difficult journey a little more comfortable for a child and their family.
Adopt a Hospital. Support a Little Warrior. Give Threads of Hope.
