Walaupun sekolah-sekolah Kerajaan tidak mengenakan yuran, menurut laporan, masih terdapat keluarga di Malaysia yang terpaksa menahan anak-anak mereka daripada bersekolah pada awal sesi persekolahan hanya kerana mereka tidak mampu menanggung kos pakaian seragam, pengangkutan dan perbelanjaan lain.

Although government schools do not charge fees, according to reports, there are still Malaysian households who were forced to keep their children home at the start of the school term because they simply could not afford uniforms, transport and other costs.

UNICEF juga melaporkan bahawa di salah sebuah negeri di Malaysia, ketidakmampuan menanggung kos berkaitan sekolah (contohnya buku teks, pakaian seragam) merupakan salah satu faktor utama kanak-kanak tidak bersekolah (tidak mendaftar).

The UNICEF in fact reported that, in one state in Malaysia, inability to afford school-related expenses (e.g. textbooks, uniforms) was a key reason for children being out of school (non-enrolment)

Setiap tahun, ribuan pelajar di Malaysia hadir ke sekolah tanpa kelengkapan asas yang sepatutnya. Kenaikan kos permulaan persekolahan menjadi beban besar kepada keluarga berpendapatan rendah, membuatkan ramai anak terpaksa memakai pakaian seragam lusuh, kasut yang tidak sesuai, atau beg yang hampir rosak.

Every year, thousands of students in Malaysia return to school without the basic essentials they need. The rising cost of school supplies has become a heavy burden for low-income families, forcing many children to wear worn-out uniforms, unsuitable shoes, or bags that are barely holding together.

Sedangkan setiap anak berhak memulakan sesi sekolah dengan lengkap, yakin dan gembira, bukan terbeban oleh kemiskinan yang menghalang masa depan mereka.

Yet every child deserves to start the school year feeling prepared, confident and happy, not weighed down by poverty that threatens their future.

Tahun ini, KHOM MALAYSIA kembali meneruskan misi ini bagi membantu pelajar daripada keluarga asnaf dan B40, khususnya di daerah-daerah sekitar Kelantan dan Sabah, termasuk mereka yang terkesan akibat banjir dan tekanan kos sara hidup.

This year, KHOM MALAYSIA continues this mission by supporting students from asnaf and B40 families, particularly in districts across Kelantan and Sabah— including those affected by floods and the rising cost of living.

Realiti Anak-Anak & Keluarga Ini

The Reality of These Children and Families

Dalam bantuan Back-To-School pada tahun-tahun lalu, kami menemui kisah-kisah yang benar-benar meruntun hati, yang menggambarkan betapa peritnya keadaan hidup trpaksa dihadapi oleh banyak keluarga.

During our Back-To-School assistance in past years, we encountered heart-wrenching stories that underscored the dire circumstances faced by many families.

Sebagai contoh kisah Kak Ramlah, seorang ibu tunggal yang berjuang menyara empat orang anak, ibunya, dan mak ciknya yang kurang upaya. Ketika ditanya tentang kehidupannya, beliau menangis, mendedahkan realiti pedih bagaimana mereka terpaksa mencatu makanan dan ada masanya langsung tidak makan.

Take Kak Ramlah’s story, a single mother struggling to provide for her four children, her mother, and disabled aunt. When asked about her life, she broke down in tears, revealing the painful reality of food rationing and sometimes going without meals. 

Jika untuk membeli makanan pun tidak mampu, bagaimana beliau mampu memastikan anak-anaknya terus bersekolah?

If she couldn’t afford food, how could she possibly keep her children in school?

Ada pula seorang ibu yang terpaksa menghentikan persekolahan anak-anak perempuannya hanya kerana beliau tidak mampu membeli pakaian seragam dan kasut sekolah. Bayangkan betapa luluhnya hati seorang ibu apabila mengetahui bahawa anak-anaknya terpaksa ketinggalan pendidikan hanya disebabkan kekangan kewangan.

Then there’s a mother whose daughters had to stop attending school simply because she couldn’t afford uniforms and shoes. Imagine the heartbreak of knowing your children are missing out on education simply due to financial constraints.

Beginilah realiti ramai keluarga hari ini, yang menangguhkan keperluan sekolah kerana terpaksa mengutamakan makan, bil utiliti dan keperluan asas lain. Di sinilah peranan kita. Di sinilah sumbangan anda diperlukan. Sedikit bantuan daripada kita boleh memberikan mereka langkah yang lebih yakin, selesa dan bermaruah untuk terus belajar dan mencorak kejayaan masa depan yang lebih cerah.

This is the reality for many families today — postponing school needs because they must prioritise food, utility bills, and other basic necessities. This is where we come in. This is where your contribution matters. Even a small amount of support from us can give these children a more confident, comfortable, and dignified start to their education, helping them build a brighter future.

Tentang Program Karisma EduDream

About the Karisma EduDream Program

Karisma EduDream memastikan anak-anak daripada keluarga susah tetap dapat bersekolah dan membina masa depan yang lebih baik. Program ini bukan sahaja membantu anak-anak Malaysia, tetapi juga anak-anak mangsa perang di Syria dan Palestin.

Karisma EduDream ensures that children from underprivileged families can continue attending school and building a better future. The program does not only support Malaysian children, but also war-affected children in Syria and Palestine.

Sejak tahun 2020, KHOM MALAYSIA melalui program Karisma Edudream telah menyantuni hampir 800 anak Malaysia, 500 anak Palestin dan 200 anak Syria.

Since 2020, KHOM MALAYSIA via Karisma Edudream program has reached nearly 800 Malaysian children, 500 Palestinian children, and 200 Syrian children.

Memetik Pengerusi dan Pengarah Misi KHOM MALAYSIA, Puan Nik Marina Datuk Hussin, “Kami percaya tiada anak harus terhenti sekolah kerana kemiskinan dan inilah sebab program Back-To-School (BTS) ini diteruskan, supaya lebih ramai lagi anak-anak mendapat akses pendidikan yang selayaknya.”

Quoting the Chairlady and Mission Director of KHOM MALAYSIA, Puan Nik Marina Datuk Hussin, “We believe no child should be deprived of education because of poverty. This is why the Back-To-School (BTS) program continues — to ensure more children gain the access to education they truly deserve.”

Kami mensasarkan dana RM15,000 untuk membantu 100 orang pelajar mendapatkan kelengkapan sekolah asas yang mereka perlukan.

We are targeting RM15,000 in funds to support 100 students in obtaining the basic school essentials they need.

Antara bantuan yang akan diberikan termasuklah:
The assistance provided includes:

✔️ Pakaian sekolah lengkap / A complete school uniform
✔️ Kasut sekolah baharu / A new pair of school shoes
✔️ Beg sekolah / A school bag
✔️ Set alat tulis & kelengkapan asas sekolah / A set of stationery and basic school supplies

Bantuan ‘Back to School’ dijangkan akan disampaikan pada 4 Januari 2026. RM20, RM50 atau RM100 mungkin kecil bagi kita, tapi boleh menjadi sebab seorang anak kembali ke sekolah dengan yakin. Selagi anak itu belajar, membaca, menulis dan berjaya, mudah-mudahan selama itulah berkat kebaikannya terus mengalir kepada kita.

The ‘Back to School’ aid will be distributed on the 4th January 2026. RM20, RM50 or RM100 may seem small to us, but it can be the reason a child returns to school with confidence. As long as that child continues to learn, read, write, and succeed, may the blessings of your kindness continue to flow.
