We’re excited to share several encouraging updates from the GED program. Our team has grown to six staff members, including two from the Kuala Lumpur refugee community, bringing valuable lived experience and leadership into the heart of the program. Interest has been overwhelming—over 40 individuals have applied to the GED program (which will start with 20 students), representing 8 different countries and speaking 15 first languages. This diversity reflects both the need for the program and the wide reach of the community we serve.
Over the past two months, we’ve focused on laying a strong foundation for success by securing a property, renovating the space, and equipping it specifically for GED instruction. One of the most exciting aspects of the program is the incredible generosity of our supporters. Thanks to the many donors who have contributed to the GED fund, students who complete the program will have their GED exam fully paid for by KRC and its growing community of partners—removing a major barrier and opening the door to new educational and vocational opportunities.
