The Educational, Welfare & Research Foundation Malaysia or EWRF was founded in 1978 as a non-profit & non-governmental organisation. EWRF is dedicated towards serving the marginalised, vulnerable and impoverished communities in Malaysia by empowering underperforming and socially challenged students. This is done through programmes focused on character transformation, academic, vocational & technical training and psycho-social counselling. EWRF is one of the few tax-exempted organisations in the country.
