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.
