Borneo Child Aide

Borneo Child Aid/Humana is presently providing basic education for more than 9000 underprivileged children at our 112 projects in remote areas of Sabah. Many children in Sabah do not have proper access to schools. This is the case of many children of immigrant workers in the plantations and other places. Also the children of the sea faring ethnic Bajau Laut group, living off the East Coast of Sabah are largely without education. Distance, poverty or legal status are usually the reasons. Without education the children often become child labourers at an early age and some will end up as street children with risk of abuse and exposure to drugs and social ills.

These are some of the children, we try to reach with our programme. Our task is to run good and safe learning centres for these children in the remotest areas, far away from towns, where the children live. We are much in need of additional support or sponsorship to reach many more of these children.

Johore Cheshire Home

The establishment of the Johore Cheshire Home in Johor was initiated by His Highness the late Sultan Ibrahim and Her highness the late Sultanah Marcella who having followed the progress made by the Cheshire Home (Malaya) Singapore branch readily gave their consent when approached by the Singapore branch to set up a similar Home in Johor Bahru.

The Johor Social Welfare Department was given the task to organize the Home with support from other government departments and the Singapore Branch Committee.

On 1st February 1959, a Management Committee was formed with Lt Col E.A. Horsey, OBE being elected as its first Chairman and Che Khalsom as the Chairman of the Appeals Committee.

In December, a site was identified and work started in earnest as RMAF and RAF (Malaya) personnel began the tedious task of clearing the area of rubber trees and undergrowth during their weekends.

Meanwhile, the Appeals Committee was busy raising funds and their efforts were so successful that cash and materials were generously donated by the public. With these resources in hand, work on the Home took on an urgent pace. The hard work finally paid off and the Johore Cheshire Home was officially declared opened by His Highness the late Sultan Ismail who also become the Home first patron. The Johore Cheshire Home is unique for it is the first of its kind in Johor and Malaysia to be built and maintained by volunteers. This uniqueness prompted Cheshire to mention in one of his letters that. The Johor Home will be the only one entirely built by voluntary labour and therefore stands outs as a Landmark in the Foundation.

The Home is administered by a Management Committee comprising of volunteers and is completely autonomous. The primary objective of the Home is for the chronically ill who are able to look after themselves but have no relatives or home to turn to and who otherwise would be occupying useful bed space in government hospitals. Although residents who are able to contribute towards the maintenance of the Home will be asked to do so, no one is turned away because of inability to pay.

In 1970, the Johore Cheshire Home was constitutionally separated from the Singapore Home and began to operate on its own.

Since its inception in 1960, the Home underwent two major renovations. One was in 1980 as part of its 21st Anniversary celebration while in 1994 a new block to house the residents was put up at a cost of RM500,000.00 with funds donated by the Federal Government.

Today, the Home has 34 residents of all races and religion living under one roof they called Home . The Management Council is looking into new applications for admission to the Home and hope to raise the number of residents to 45.
