What we do
The fugee education journey
fugee school
The journey for a refugee child starts at Fugee School & continues through the Fugee Youth Academy with globally-recognized courses to accomplish the final stage of higher education and employment.
Vision
We want Fugee students to realise their full potential and value by equipping them with the right academic, creative and life skills in an environment free from discrimination and exclusion. We know that education is the key that can open doors to a brighter future.
Mission
Fugee School strives to ignite an endless passion for learning and growing within every child.
Established in 2009, Fugee School remains the heart of the organisation, it was born to address the gap in providing four children from the Somali refugee community in Kuala Lumpur with basic Math and English lessons. Since then, Fugee has grown its scope and size dramatically, and now provides equitable access to holistic and high quality education, as well as a range of support services, for over 200 students each year.
Fugee School has proven to be not just an academic learning centre but also a transitional school for our students who will eventually get resettled. With us, Fugee students are equipped with academic support and transition-readiness by learning the right academic, creative and life skills so they can cope with challenges they face today and will encounter in the future.
The holistic education we provide our students train them to be resilient, adaptive and empowered individuals. Education is the key that can open doors to a brighter future. To date, Fugee School has educated over 500 children and youth.
