Since its introduction in December 2024, the programme has reached close to 50,000 beneficiaries, including teenage mothers, girls at risk, children living with autism, and vulnerable families, through 14 initiatives implemented nationwide. Together with implementing partners including Pertubuhan Pembangunan Insan Sarawak, i-Medik, Good Shepherd Services, ReHak, and OrphanCare Foundation, Program SINAR YSD delivers holistic support through shelter services, reproductive health education, mobile outreach, counselling, and community awareness programmes.

At the heart of the programme is the belief that meaningful change begins with compassion, trust, and safe spaces for recovery and growth.

03 / Voices of impact

“Parents, educators, and the wider community all have a role in helping young people build strong values and healthy boundaries. By providing guidance with compassion and understanding, we empower them to make informed decisions and shape a healthier future generation.”
Dr Anayasmin binti Azmi - Consultant Paediatrician, KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital / Head of the Sexual Education and Reproductive Health Sector, I-Medik

“When young girls experience safety and consistency in their environment, it becomes easier for them to rebuild trust. Over time, they begin to regain a sense of belonging, understanding that they are valued and respected within the community.”
Puan Zakiah A. Rahman - General Manager, OrphanCare Foundation

“Many of these young women arrive carrying fear, shame, and uncertainty. What they need most is a safe space where they feel protected, heard, and supported.”
Dr Janie Liew-Tsonis - Executive Director, Good Shepherd Services
