Malaysia has a huge NGO sector. We are helpful, generous and socially-conscious people. We can prove it. In 2016, Malaysia ranked 22nd on the World Giving Index. . . But the problem is, while many of our NGOs tackle unpopular problems, a large majority of them depend heavily on fluctuating public interest, they struggle financially, and they struggle in isolation. . . Corporations have trade unions, conferences and collaborations to cooperate to become better organizations. . . Why can't NGOs have the same? Meet ngohub. NGOHub is an NGO for NGOs. Need support? Resources? Knowledge? Volunteers? Look no further. We serve NGOs. Visit ngohub.asia and get verified today! #sols247 #ngohubasia #getitdone #helpmehelpyou #joinme #socialmedia #passion Ever wonder what it feels like to intern for the COO of an award-winning humanitarian NGO? Curious about how such an organization works? How it ticks and what keeps it going? Well. You can find out for yourself. Management Intern Wanted! Apply now! http://www.sols247.org/management-internship/ #sols247 #managementtrainee #serve #empowerment #english #education #literacy Too little people know this: "A Thornton International Business Report discovered that 62% of businesses in Malaysia found it difficult to source skilled workers, citing the lack of soft skills, particularly communication in English." "A 2016 Salary Survey by the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) found that more than 90% of respondents indicated the need for graduates to improve their English proficiency to become more employable." English is critical to employment! Whether you use it for internal communications or to get through your interview, you NEED it to seize every opportunity you have. . . This is not only the case in Malaysia, but also all over the world, because English is a global language, it's importance is naturally, the world over. . . Our programmes bringing the Science of Language to Malaysia are: our Community Centres programme, SOLS Solar Academy, Kuala Lumpur, SOLS 24/7 Borneo Youth Development Center and BI1M!

Traditionally, the definition of "literacy" is understood as the ability to read and write. But in the 21st Century, this definition has been expanded. Today, the definition of literacy is as shown below, and it includes "the ability to use computers". Exclusive pen-and-paper literacy isn't the only requirement for literacy anymore. This means that the 10 million Malaysians who don't have access to computers today can, by this definition, be considered functionally illiterate. In our day, helping communities participate in the world means to bridge the digital divide. And our programmes actively engaging in this is SOLS Tech and SOLS Smart - English & I.T.! Like and follow their pages to find out more! #sols247 #solssmart #educate #serve #empowerment #english #education #literacy What is Education Inequality? Education Inequality happens when school funding, resources like books, technology and experienced teachers, are prioritized in some areas more than others, leading to an unequal distribution of academic resources. The people bearing the brunt of this are often marginalized groups or socially excluded communities. This inequality leads to massive differences in educational success, and subsequently, social and economic mobility. These groups suffer, not so much because they are "bad at school", but because there is no system for them to even be good in. Education Inequality is a global problem, and no educational system is perfectly efficient. But this tells us that humanitarian efforts should be focused at those who do not get their fair share. SOLS 24/7 Malaysia engages education inequality through the following programmes: Community Centre Programme, SOLS Solar Academy, Kuala Lumpur, SOLS 24/7 Borneo Youth Development Center and the Scholar Development Programme.
