This project began in 2015 with the goal of building a total of 12 libraries in Orang Asli villages to encourage the children in these villages to read. In an attempt to realize this goal, we have till date constructed 10 libraries in Orang Asli villages to provide these children with educational materials. We hope that by constructing and outfitting these libraries that we are able to instill a passion for reading within these children that could translate into greater academic achievement.   Our aim is to be able to provide these children with the same kind of facilities as their peers in the city.

In order to make this happen, the foundation began by collaborating with local Orang Asli communities to build the first Budimas Children’s Library in the Orang Asli Settlement of Bukit Kepong in Port Dickson, Seremban. We hope that the construction of this library would encourage the children of the Orang Asli community to develop an interest in reading, and that could spark an interest in education and to keep them interested in attending school.
