Buku Jalanan Chow Kit

Every Child
Deserves a Future.

Empowering children and communities through education, opportunity and advocacy.

Buku Jalanan Chow Kit (BJCK) works with children and families in Chow Kit who face barriers to education, documentation, economic security and social inclusion. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, belong and build a future with dignity.

Breaking the Cycle of Urban Poverty Through Education

For many children, access to education is not guaranteed.

Children living in urban poverty may face financial insecurity, unstable living conditions, lack of documentation and limited access to formal education.

At Buku Jalanan Chow Kit, we work alongside children, families and the wider community to address these barriers.

Our work goes beyond the classroom. We provide access to learning, support pathways towards citizenship and documentation, strengthen families and communities, and advocate for systems that are more inclusive and responsive to children's rights.

Education is the starting point.

Empowerment is the pathway.

Inclusion is the goal.

01

Community Empowerment

Strengthening families and communities through social support, skills development, employment opportunities and access to resources.

From Night Class to New Possibilities

For many children, the first step towards a different future is simply having a place to learn. BJCK's night classes provide children with a safe and structured learning environment while recognising the realities of their daily lives.

A Pathway Back to School

Through sustained educational support and close work with families, BJCK has supported children in rebuilding their learning foundations and preparing for new opportunities.

Building Opportunity Through Sup Kawah Hitam

Restoran Sup Kawah Hitam is part of BJCK's effort to build a more sustainable model of community support, while creating opportunities for practical skills and employment.

You Can Be Part of the Change
