little steps - helping young GIRLS in malaysia
Yasmeen’s Foundation is proud to work with Little Steps, a Malaysian non-profit organization dedicated to helping young, underprivileged girls get a solid foundation and education.
Yasmeen’s Foundation recently had the wonderful opportunity to visit Little Steps’ first live-in shelter for underprivileged girls, Haneen Firdous. There are currently 8 girls, ranging in age from 10 to 15, living full-time at this fully equipped house donated rent-free by a generous donor. The girls attend a nearby school and transportation is arranged during school holidays for the girls to visit their families.
Haneen Firdous is run by two full-time qualified staff who live with the girls and is supported by the dedicated and caring Little Steps Board of Directors led by Dr. Aida and six other professionals.
In 2022, Yasmeen’s Foundation began supporting an underfunded but well utilized refugee medical clinic in Malaysia.
