Book Aid Asia, formerly known as Book Aid Malaysia, is a private social enterprise that embarked on a mission to empower underprivileged children, enabling them to thrive in their educational journey and embark on life with confidence. Established in 2016, this organization is an example of how a dedicated group of individuals can make a profound impact.

​

The core objective of Book Aid Asia is to expand the horizons of young minds by enhancing their knowledge through the power of reading. It's not just about providing books; it's about building strong, confident, and wise individuals who can communicate effectively at all levels of society.  Reading is the key that unlocks the doors to education, personal growth, and mental stimulation.

 

Since its inception, Book Aid Asia has touched the lives of thousands of children across Malaysia. The organization's programs are multifaceted and impactful. It includes the distribution of storybooks to schools and refugee centers, reaching out to those who need it the most. But it doesn't stop at books. Book Aid Asia also focuses on developing essential skills like writing and public speaking. These are vital tools for children to express themselves and build their self-esteem.

​

What's particularly heartwarming is our "Exploring the World" initiative. Field trips for children help them appreciate the world around them, fostering a sense of responsibility towards nature and the environment. It's not just about knowledge; it's about nurturing future stewards of our planet.

​

Furthermore, Book Aid Asia doesn't only feed young minds; it also feeds the hungry. Collaborating with corporations, the organization distributes food items to those in need, embodying the spirit of giving and compassion.

​

The year 2021 marked a significant milestone for Book Aid Asia as it expanded its operations beyond Malaysia, reaching out to the Philippines, Indonesia, and Cambodia. This growth is a testament to our unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of underprivileged children. The success of Book Aid Asia is built upon the shoulders of like-minded individuals, organizations, and corporations who share their vision.

​

In a world where access to education and knowledge can be a privilege, Book Aid Asia hope to stand as a beacon of hope, a testament to the transformative power of reading, and a reminder that we can all play a part in empowering the next generation.
