Building New Primary School in Puchong

IOI Group's Partnership with World Vision Malaysia
Since 2007, IOI Group has partnered with World Vision Malaysia through its charity arm Yayasan Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng (Yayasan TSLSC) to fund the Lawas Project, an educational development programme envisioned to raise competent native-speaking teachers in the short term and build a training and research centre for ethnic pre-school training in Sarawak. To date, Yayasan TSLSC has granted a total of RM88,000 to fund the development and sustainability of the project which includes the administrative cost of the pre-schools, salaries and trainings for teachers and course materials for the native children. Through this financial funding, the parents are able to send their children to the pre-schools regularly with the vision of securing a better future for them.
IOI Group's Partnership with HUMANA
IOI Group partners with Borneo Child Aid Society (HUMANA) Sabah, a leading school project, to provide basic education and care for children (aged four to twelve years old) of foreign plantation workers who are unable to enrol into the national schools in Malaysia.

Sharing the vision with HUMANA to provide the children with a better learning environment, IOI Group sponsors facilities such as computers, projectors and sound systems as well as uniforms, school bags and stationeries. The basic operations to run the centres are also financed by IOI Group in addition to the accommodation for teachers.

Today, IOI Group is the main contributor and is sponsoring 22 HUMANA learning centres which houses over 2,000 children. They are learning English, Bahasa Malaysia, Science plus Mathematics and are enjoying extra co-curricular activities such as dancing, singing and drawing thanks to a partnership between two corporate responsible organisations.
