The Children’s Protection Society (CPS) began as an initiative of
Dato’ Nazir Ariff when he was President of the Rotary Club in Penang (1991). It
is a non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs of
neglected and/or abandoned children in Penang. It was officially launched in
April 1992 by Puan Sri Chua Kah Peng. The objectives of CPS are both immediate
and longer-term. The immediate objective is to provide children at risk with a
safe, supportive and conducive environment (Shelter). Their concerned and
focused areas include the emotional and physical development, education, social
and recreational skills. At the same time, CPS aims to work with parents and
other family members, so that the child can eventually be reunited with his/her
family. In the pipeline, they hope to support projects to enhance
community-based facilities for childcare and development in areas where such
facilities are lacking. They also try to promote a more general awareness of
the issues relating to children at risk by being involved in training and
discussions. Hence they work together with various government and
non-government organizations to help to develop longer-term strategies and
goals.
