Penang Shan Children’s Home (PSCH) began as a dream and initiative
of Dr. S Balakrishnan in the year 2005. This is a non-religious and a
non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs of orphans,
neglected children, dysfunctional families and single parents.
The home was built and officially launched on 14th December 2008 by Madam Chan Siew Har. PSCH’s mission is to maximize the attractive opportunities that are stored in the children; to make something happen; to change the ways that things are and to create something that no one else has ever created before for the children, to explore for opportunities; to provide guidance and course correction; maintaining focus on being consistent and persistent.
The objectives are both short and on a long term basis.
The short term objective is to provide all the children with a safe and supportive environment. The focus will be on the development of physical, mental, emotional, educational, social and recreational skills that will create awareness to structure and mould the child’s future.
The longer term development includes the options that are available for the child’s future, supporting them to complete the tertiary education preferably to University level.
For those who are unable to complete the basic education, they would be trained in developing their skills by educating them in skill training centers. Through home visits and working with parents, they would like to ensure that eventually the child is reunited with his/her family thus becoming the backbone of the family.
