Seaweed Cultivation and Health Awareness Programs
This community development project on Omadal Island has two primary objectives: supporting the establishment of sustainable seaweed farms and empowering the Bajau Laut community through health education and improved healthcare access.
Underpinning these goals is the training of local community members as Community Health Helpers (CHHs), with the aim of establishing a minimum of 20 first aid responders who will serve as local health advocates. This collaborative effort involves MSHR and two centers at Universiti Putra Malaysia: the University Community Transformation Center and the Centre for Industrial Relation and Network (CiRNeT).
MSHR: Championing Stateless Children's Rights
MSHR is deeply concerned about the plight of stateless children, particularly their profound challenges in accessing basic education. As an extension of our Seaweed Cultivation and Health Awareness Program on Omadal Island, Sabah, we stand in solidarity with NGOs such as Iskul Sama Dilaut Omadal, dedicated to providing education to vulnerable stateless children, especially those from the Bajau Laut community.
