WHO WE ARE
Greater Action was founded in March 2020 as an emergency response to the pandemic. It is a dynamic, non-profit social organization based out of Bandar Baru Ampang and is 100% volunteer-driven by an international team of passionate volunteers.
Our core mission is to help 250 marginalized Afghan refugee families, forced to flee their homeland, rebuild their lives in Malaysia. We provide them with quality education, sustainable livelihood opportunities, artist development and much-needed general healthcare
Our prime focus is women’s empowerment via our curated skills training programs in cooking, baking, tailoring and beauty which enable the most vulnerable refugee women to learn, to grow, and to become strong and self-sufficient.
