Our Story

Al-Ikhlas Hope Society (AHS) started out in early 2018 as a project to support the running of Al-Ikhlas School, a refugee learning centre in Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur, which was then struggling to sustain itself. Five years on, AHS is still continuing to fund and oversee the management of the school. AHS has also expanded in its support for the refugee community as a whole.

What We Do

Al-Ikhlas Hope Society (AHS) provides a wide range of programs and services designed to support refugees, migrants, stateless individuals, and other marginalized communities. Our approach is community-based, culturally responsive, and holistic, focusing on education and community social services through Al-Ikhlas School and Community Center, as well as healthcare and financial assistance through the Refugee Emergency Fund (REF).

  • We provide pre-school and primary level education via our UNHCR-registered learning centre, Al-Ikhlas School, for Rohingya and Myanmar children.

  • We provide healthcare support (primary and secondary health) including case management, bill payment, referrals, and health education via the Refugee Emergency Fund (REF)

  • We organize and facilitate capacity building initiatives and trainings that enhances the skills of community leaders and focal points via both our school and REF.

  • We work together with several partner organizations and individual donors to provide much needed essentials to families and children in our community. These include food, clothing, books, and toys, among others.

  • We engage with several stakeholders and partners including key agencies via research, collective activism, partnership building, public events, and media campaigns.

Our organization ensures the school and center are funded and sustained while coordinating the education management of the school and supporting the refugee & marginalized communities as a whole in the vicinity of the school and beyond.

Our organization is the fiscal sponsor of REF where we manage their finances, fundraising, governance, and operations. REF is refugee-led and provides much needed financial assistance and other resources for refugees, migrants and stateless people facing emergencies.
