NGO Yellow House KL finds new ways to help at-risk individualsLakshmi Sekhar, 8 October 2021
Yellow House Kuala Lumpur is a well-known NGO (non-governmental organisation), especially in Ampang, as it has been instrumental in helping the community there. It all began in 2011, with one woman’s hope to help people. After leaving her job at Malaysiakini, Shyam Priah Marimuthu began My Khatulistiwa.
“When working in the media, you get to meet a lot of people,” she says. “I met many who needed help and many wanting to help, and I realised there was no platform to connect them. I had no idea about opening an NGO at the time, so I opened a corporate social responsibility consulting company, to give corporations a strategy on how to do CSR in a more sustainable way.”
