Ti-Ratana established our first children’s home in 2002 with generous donations from the public for the building; this acquisition formally launched all the work we do in our neighborhood and community to date.

Our first building originally housed both boys and girls, but it now serves as our boys’ home. It’s our primary and most recognizable building as most of our functions ranging from corporate CSR, volunteer programmes, and government visitations are all held in our function hall there, which can accommodate up to 400 people at a time.

The boy’s home contains a fully-equipped computer class, 3 counselling rooms, and a Puja hall for daily prayers, where Dhamma values are inculcated in the children through religious studies. Facilities for sports such as football, badminton, table tennis, basketball, and for cultural activities such as Lion dance, and Festive Drum training.

Our Women and Baby Shelter is housed adjacent to this building. It has a well-organized playroom, TV room, and kindergarten room for the toddlers’ development.

In 2008, Ti-Ratana had the opportunity to build a separate home specifically for the girls. This new 5-story building allows for the division of facilities for boys and girls into separate homes so as to provide better care and amenities for the children and the residential staff caring for them.

The girls’ home can house over 60 girls. It consists of bedrooms, kitchen, dining hall, classrooms and a puja hall. The kitchen serves as the primary kitchen for the entire welfare community. It has the capacity to provide meals for the 250+ residents in the centre and our adjoining facilities daily.

Ti-Ratana’s Seniors’ Sanctuary is built on a 2,000 square meter plot of land in Salak South Bahru, Kuala Lumpur and is the latest addition to our
buildings. The Groundbreaking Ceremony for this new sanctuary was officially performed by the then prime minister, Najib bin Tun Razak on 26th July 2017.

Completed in 2020, this new RM12 million sanctuary is located opposite Ti-Ratana boys home and is fully equipped with excellent facilities. Primary facilities such as accommodation, food, and medical care are available for up to 120 eligible senior citizens, who meet the necessary requirements of admission including poverty and
absence of any immediate family members.

The facility has allocated two floors for male residents and two floors for female residents. Furthermore, the design of the sanctuary is wheelchair friendly, which is suitable and convenient for elderly and disabled residents.

This new five-storey sanctuary will provide longterm support and resources to the growing ageing population in Malaysia. Currently, it is providing proper and immediate care for the 100 senior residents who are residing here.
