Beautiful Gate Foundation for the Disabled
The Chinese Methodist Church in Malaysia started its caring
ministry for the disabled in 1993. Two years later, the first
Beautiful Gate Disabled People Caring Centre was established in
Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Subsequently, three other centres were set
up in Kepong (Kuala Lumpur), Kampar (Perak), and Seremban (Negeri
Sembilan). There are also two Group Home established in Belakong for
our ex-trainees to live independent lives.
Our goal is to enhance the quality of life of people with
disabilities, and assist in their total integration into mainstream
Malaysian society. This is achieved through mutual support,
advocacy, personal skill development and campaigns to raise public
awareness.
Our Services include:- Skill Training Services, Social Work
Services, Educational Services and Mobile Therapy Services
