Help fund Yellow House KL today!


Over the past two and a half decades, YTL Foundation - the charitable arm of the YTL Group - has strived to bring meaningful impact for Malaysian society through its various programs and initiatives that improve education and tackle issues of education inequity and poverty. We are constantly on the lookout for new forms of collaboration in order to bring about greater impact in our work.

Every ringgit you could spare will count towards a wonderful shared space for all Malaysians in-need.

Yellow House KL, founded by Shyam Priah, Acumen Fellow (2023 cohort) has inspired us to collaborate with them to create a lasting and meaningful impact for the community they serve - something Yellow House has done with thousands of its own beneficiaries over the past 12 years. 

Now, we are inviting the public and good-natured Malaysians to also take part in a fundraising activity that we believe has the potential to impact hundreds, if not thousands more lives among Malaysia’s underserved communities.

We are proud to introduce the YTL Foundation x Yellow House KL rejuvenation initiative.

WHO IS YELLOW HOUSE KL?

We first discovered and connected with Yellow House KL in late 2022, after being impressed by the kind of work and impact this organisation has achieved over the years. Yellow House has provided food aid during the Covid-19 lockdowns, helped underserved communities get access to vaccines, used their physical space as a shelter for refugees, and helped end homelessness for multiple beneficiaries.

Yellow House strongly believes in creating lasting and meaningful impact for their beneficiaries - by using an empowerment approach in order to create sustainable changes in the lives of the underserved.

We paid a visit to Yellow House’s space in 2022 and noticed immediate concerns with the space from which they operate. Despite serving as a shelter for hundreds of beneficiaries and having hosted more than a thousand volunteers from all the world, Yellow House KL’s space in Ampang, Selangor, is in urgent need of rejuvenation. An aging building that constantly needs repairs t has severely limited the functionality of their space, especially following the Covid-19 lockdowns.

We strongly believe that every extra square feet of functional space in Yellow House will help impact more lives.

YTL FOUNDATION x YELLOW HOUSE REJUVENATION - HOW DOES IT WORK?

As part of our own proactive search for an impactful organisation, we discovered Yellow House KL in 2022. Their story and their impact has inspired us to want to create a lasting and meaningful impact for them - something Yellow House has done with thousands of its own beneficiaries over the past 12 years.

The YTL Foundation with the assistance of the YTL Group’s construction division has undertaken to thoroughly renovate and rejuvenate the Yellow House building in Ampang, Selangor, with the express mandate to maximise its space, increase its functionality, and create a welcoming atmosphere for volunteers, underserved communities, while enabling Yellow House to add-on various social business initiatives that could benefit the surrounding community - including an urban gardening initiative, and a safe space for promoting mental health and well being.
The plans for the renovation works have been approved by the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council, and a small groundbreaking ceremony had taken place in late 2022 to that effect.

The overall cost of the rejuvenation project will be RM 275,000.
YTL Foundation will fund half of the construction costs, while YTL Foundation
and Yellow House will collaboratively fundraise the other half of the costs involved.

The Yellow House rejuvenation is set to begin in May 2023, and every ringgit you donate will count towards a wonderful shared space for those in-need. YTL Foundation and Yellow House KL seek your goodwill so that together we can make a difference to the lives of the vulnerable communities served through the Yellow House programmes.

FAQ ON DONATION PROCESS

Does the donation get channeled to YTL or Yellow House?

YTL and Yellow House are collaboratively fundraising for this rejuvenation project. All donations will be channeled to YTL Foundation’s accounts through a third party payment channel, with all transactions transparently shared among both parties.

Do I get a tax exemption for my donation?

Yes. YTL Foundation has operated for more than two decades and is an accredited non-profit in Malaysia that qualifies it to receive tax-exempt donations.

What will happen if the donation total exceeds the target goal?

All extra proceeds beyond the stated goal in the fundraising exercice will be channeled to YH’s benefit, for the organisation’s future programs and operation costs. 

How many people will benefit from this project?

This rejuvenation is a one-of-a-kind project that is designed to empower organisations that serve marginalised and vulnerable communities. While actual numbers are hypothetical, Yellow House, to date, has served thousands of beneficiaries despite its space and operational constraints. The idea is to help YH scale up, so that number can be increased or even doubled in the future. 

Does the renovation use sustainable materials?

In line with YTL Foundation’s ethos and YH’s own sustainability practices, the renovation will see extensive use of bamboo as an innovative and sustainable building material.

Will YTL be involved in Yellow House operations?

No. YTL Foundation is merely acting as a supporting catalyst and benefactor for Yellow House in this rejuvenation project. All operational aspects will continued to be handled by Yellow House thereafter.

What will happen to Yellow House during the renovation period?

Yellow House will continue to exist and operate, albeit in a much smaller scale. Without its space, key Yellow House personnel will work remotely to serve their beneficiaries or work on future planned projects, before going full-scale post the rejuvenation process.
