Al-Ikhlas Hope Society
Lighting the Way to a Better Future.
Hope in Action
Al-Ikhlas Hope Society (AHS) is a community and women-led nonprofit organization, which started as a fundraising project in 2018 to support the education of refugee children. Guided by our mission to facilitate access to education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities through funding, stakeholder engagement, research, and advocacy, we envision improved well-being and equitable living for all marginalised and displaced communities in Malaysia.
Refugee Leadership
AHS fiscally sponsors two refugee-led organizations, Al-Ikhlas School and the Refugee Emergency Fund (REF), which operate as independent entities, with AHS functioning as the legal entity responsible for overseeing all financial, fiscal, and administrative systems for both organizations.
The governance of AHS includes eight Committee Members, and each of the School and REF has its own leadership and staff members.
What We Do
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).
