TWO weeks ago, the electricity supply to the Lighthouse Children Welfare Home was cut off because bill was not paid for two months.
The owner scrambled for help, and through the goodwill of donors, the bill was paid and supply restored.
Some welfare homes are struggling to make end meets because they do not receive aid from the government.
Lighthouse Children Welfare Home, open in 2006, is located in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. It houses 34 children and youths. It is managed by co-founders Steven Silvaraju, 71, and his wife Jacinta Steven, 67.
The former banker and educator told The Vibes that he and his wife decided to open the foster home after retiring. - June 24, 2024
