Our Vision

Our vision is to foster a united, empowered, and resilient K'Cho refugee community during our temporary stay in Malaysia. We envision preserving our rich cultural heritage and identity while awaiting durable solutions. We aim to navigate displacement challenges with dignity and mutual support, building hope through improved access to essential services. We strive to advocate for our community's rights and well-being until repatriation or resettlement becomes possible. By maintaining positive relations with our host country and preparing for our future beyond Malaysia, we seek to strengthen our community's resilience for the journey ahead. Throughout our stay, we remain committed to respecting local laws, upholding ethical standards, and promoting awareness of refugee rights within the framework of Malaysian regulations.
