Yayasan Sejahtera YAYASAN SEJAHTERA is an NGO focusing on poverty eradication for the valuable community development.

Although Malaysia has successfully transformed itself into one of the world’s most open economy and one of the region’s strongest economy, national poverty remains a problem. There are pockets of extreme poverty that still exist in the country especially among the geographically remote Sabah and Sarawak. There are a total of 3.6% Malaysian population currently living under extreme poverty.

Why does Yayasan Sejahtera exist?

Because we believe lasting change begins at the grassroots. We build sustainable communities from the ground up, one family at a time.

✅ 18,666 families and beneficiaries trained.
✅ Skills, coaching, equipment and seed support, all in one journey.
✅ Income that lasts well beyond the programme.

Poverty eradication works when support meets determination. And we’re proud to walk alongside every family who chooses to rise.

She is fighting cancer. She is also fighting for her family's future. Every single day.

Siti Nur runs Nasi Lemak Najwa, a breakfast stall in Batu Pahat that sells out every morning. Even while undergoing treatment, she never stops. She completes every task in her programme, and even shares her nasi lemak with the local community and nearby mosques.

Courage tastes like this.

Noraini built Gerebok Aiskrim in Batu Pahat from the ground up. Through Program MEKAR, her business grew seventeenfold, and she collected not one but two honours: the Entrepreneur Icon Award from Batu Pahat Community College and first place at the CIMB MicroBiz pitching event.

This is what a second chance can do.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝟏𝟕 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫? 🌍

Because poverty is never just about money.

Every year, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty reminds us that it also shapes a child’s education, a family’s healthcare, a roof over their heads, and the dignity every person deserves.

This year, we’re bringing IDEP closer to home:
United for Peace and Humanitarian Rights, Driving Tangible Outcomes for Social Resilience.

Because real change starts when we show up, together.

Amira from Batu Pahat started with casual TikTok Live broadcasts. Through MEKAR programme with Yayasan PETRONAS, her business grew more than fourfold, with up to 150 mushroom blocks sold in a single day.

But what makes Amira special is what she gives back. Every day she goes live, she teaches viewers how to grow mushrooms using the same blocks she sells. Knowledge shared is poverty defeated.

This is what the right support does.

A strong livelihood begins with a strong foundation. As part of the Community Development Programme, our Project Coordinator worked hand in hand with participants to construct the first free-range chicken coop at one of the participant's homes.

The construction process was more than just building a chicken coop, it was a collaborative effort that encouraged knowledge sharing, practical learning, and active participation. By involving participants throughout the construction, they gained valuable skills in designing and building a functional coop that promotes good ventilation, biosecurity, and a healthy environment for free-range chickens.

This first chicken coop serves as a model for the remaining participants, demonstrating how proper planning and teamwork can create a sustainable farming system that supports long-term income generation and food security.

Together, we are empowering communities by building skills, strengthening livelihoods, and creating opportunities for a more sustainable future.

As part of the Community Development Programme, participants successfully completed a Practical Halal Slaughter Training organised by JAKIM and the Jabatan Agama Islam Negeri Kedah. The session provided participants with essential knowledge and hands-on experience in performing halal slaughter according to Islamic principles and requirements.

Beyond learning the proper slaughtering techniques, the training emphasised the importance of animal welfare, hygiene, food safety, and compliance with halal standards. Each participant had the opportunity to carry out the slaughtering process under the guidance and supervision of certified trainers, ensuring they understood both the practical skills and the religious responsibilities involved.

This training equips participants with valuable knowledge that supports ethical and responsible poultry farming while ensuring their future farming practices align with Islamic guidelines and halal standards.

Together, we continue building sustainable livelihoods through knowledge, skills, and responsible agricultural practices.

Happy Malaysia Day!

Let's cherish the diversity that unites us, the heritage that enriches us, and the aspirations that bind us together as one nation.

As we commemorate this special day, let's renew our commitment to building a brighter future for all Malaysians, embracing unity in diversity and celebrating the unique tapestry of cultures that make Malaysia truly special. Here's to the journey ahead

During a recent visit to S*k, Kedah, Dato’ Seri Mustapa Mohamed spent time with our programme participants, visiting their homes, seeing their farming activities, and most importantly, listening to their experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

Behind every programme are real people working hard to build a better livelihood.

🐝 Puan Norzana, a single mother who runs a small sundry shop, is now building an additional income stream through Madu Kelulut farming, creating another source of income for her family.

🐝 En. Nazri, a passionate kelulut farmer, continues to expand his bee logs and has taken his learning a step further by innovatively producing kelulut-infused soap using natural ingredients.

🐔 En. Mohd. Sukri, one of our participants in the ongoing Ayam Kampung Kacukan programme, is making the most of the space around his home by growing food for his household while working towards increasing his income.

These may seem like small changes, but they represent something bigger, greater confidence, new skills, additional income opportunities and stronger self-reliance.

At Yayasan Sejahtera, we believe sustainable change starts by empowering communities with the right opportunities, knowledge and support, walking alongside them as they grow.

Building sustainable communities, one family at a time.
