Skills & Entrepreneurship Training
Beyond providing assistance to meet immediate needs, MyKasih is committed to helping people discover ways to provide for themselves. Through partnerships with accredited training providers, we offer skills and entrepreneurship programmes that equip recipients with practical tools to generate income and build long-term financial independence.
One such programme is sewing, where participants learn to craft and market lifestyle accessories including tote bags, school bags, pouches, purses, and clutches as well as home décor items like cushion covers, curtains, placemats, and quilt covers.
Entrepreneurship: Business Acceleration
Participants who have set up cottage businesses are further supported through a Business Accelerator Programme that offers the tools and guidance to generate and grow their income in a more structured and sustainable way.
As part of the programme, participants are guided to formally register their enterprise, develop a business matrix, and attend sessions on basic accounting. These sessions cover day-to-day cash flow tracking, expense categorisation, invoicing, profit and loss statements, taxation, and the use of vouchers and receipts.
Next, participants are linked with support agencies — namely Yayasan Pembangunan Usahawan (YPU), Yayasan Pembangunan Keluarga (YPK), TEKUN, Amanah Ikhtiar, MARA, and YAPEIM — to foster better understanding of the requirements for developing products and services that meet the standards expected by retailers and supermarkets.
The goal is to empower each participant to take meaningful steps toward financial independence and build income stability beyond the B40 income categorisation threshold.
Livelihood Programmes in Rural Orang Asli Communities
Orang Asli communities have long lived in rhythm with the land, and our livelihood programmes build on what they inherently practise — such as farming and crop cultivation — while also focusing on basic needs like food security.
The skills training offered by MyKasih is tailored to each community’s needs and interests. These include organic vegetable farming, rubber tree planting, chicken farming, composting, handicraft production, electrical wiring, and computer literacy.
Thus far, livelihood programmes conducted in five villages in Gerik, Perak, and Raub, Pahang have led to the establishment of three nurseries that support plant propagation, seedling cultivation, and composting, as well as seven community gardens that serve as sites for ongoing economic activity.
