SOLS 24/7 was born in the city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Back then, the only thing we did was teach English. Now 17 years later, we delve into 11 different programmes throughout Malaysia. . . Among the programmes that we are currently handling are educators, environmentalists, panel installers, computer refurbishers, mental health advocates and we also aid other NGO’s. . . The aim of SOLS 24/7 is to make a meaningful contribution to humankind. Like our page and if you are interested, please visit our page to find out more. . . #sols247 #serve #educate #empower #ngo Underserved communities don’t only deserve help, they deserve the best kind of help. But the best cannot be achieved without sustainability and effectiveness. With this in mind, we are styled more like a corporation than the typical NGO, with various teams working in departments and a strong emphasis on professionalism. We are completely committed to be: 1 Impact Driven 2 Transparent 3 Sustainable . . #sols247 #serve #educate #empower #ngo #Why do we exist ? All over the world, corporations break their backs to provide nothing but the best to serve the interests, wants and needs of the public. There is nothing wrong with this. . . But there are communities that suffer from issues such as under-employment, education inequality and lack of health care access. These issues originate from poverty. But poverty is not only the lack of resources. It is also a set of beliefs people hold about themselves. Poverty is not only a state of being, but also a way of thinking. . . To fight poverty, one cannot only provide material relief. Charity only goes so far. Fighting poverty in any meaningful way means fighting to change the mindset of poverty, and there is no better way to change that mindset than through education. . . #sols247 #serve #educate #empower #ngo The SOLS 24/7 Community Centre programme aims to teach English, IT and Motivation to disadvantaged communities nationwide regardless of age, gender, religion or race.This programme was created 17 years ago. We currently have 30,310 trained and graduated Malaysians from this programme. Through this initiative, we can combat poverty. We have 12 locations throughout Malaysia, and we deliver these skills for no costs at all. . . #sols247 #communitycentre #serve #educate #empower Why do we provide English, IT and Character Building courses to the students of our communities? Because the ability to speak #English can open up doors for the students to get jobs in the future. We provide #IT course because we are in a #digital age, digital literacy is crucial so that they can function in the working world. #Poverty is not just the lack of resources, but it's a mindset. That is why character building is taught so we can break that particular mindset, behaviour, thinking and believe that comes from poverty. . . #sols247 #communitycentre #serve #educate #empower The mindset of poverty is so powerful, that children brought up in poverty are systematically indoctrinated into thinking the same way. This is how poverty becomes a cycle, perpetuating from generation to generation. To break the cycle, we have to break the mindset. . . The only way to do this is through Education. This is the purpose of the Community Centres. Not only to provide hard skills, but also to change their approach to life, allowing our students to recognize opportunities and achieve a better future. . . #sols247 #communitycentre #betterfuture #serve #educate #empower
