Philea Home

For eight years, Mrs Yoges and her husband have been organising collection of food for poor families, especially families of single mums in Kapar, Klang. They soon realised that poverty brought along abuse and neglect within the families. These families, especially the children need more than just food on the table, they needed a home, a shelter for the children to heal their deep emotional, spiritual and mental wounds in their lives. The home is registered with the State Welfare Department in Klang.

This realisation thus brought about the setting up of Philea Home with the aim of providing shelter to abused children up to the age of 18. Currently, there are 16 children at the home aged up to 17 years. The fostered children come from families of single mums, alcoholics, hardcore poor and drug addicts. The home has only two paid staff with support from volunteers.
