Cahaya Surya Bakti (CSB) is a registered Malaysian Society founded with the vision of providing community-based support and assistance to the refugee population in the state of Johor, Malaysia.
Since 2013, CSB has successfully established 5 schools for refugee children and teenagers located in the areas of Johor Bahru, Kota Tinggi, Kluang, Pekan Nanas and Muar. In total, CSB oversees the education of more than 500 students in Johor.
The majority of our children are Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, however, our doors are open to all refugee children regardless of race, religion or ethnicity.
Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary levels are taught and we are currently working on the UK Cambridge IGCSE qualification for our Secondary level.
Classes offered at our schools include: English, Maths, Science, Bahasa Melayu, Islamic studies, Music and Arts & Crafts.
Our schools are run by dedicated teachers, volunteers and refugees themselves.
We are also supported by many generous partners and individual supporters in Malaysia, Singapore and globally.
Our schools are more than just a place to learn to read and write. CSB cultivates positive social skills and growth through our diverse programs and interactions with our many educators, volunteers, partners and individual supporters.
Our hope for the future is to continue to grow so that we can reduce the number of out-of-school refugee children in Johor.
Every child deserves hope. Every child deserves a future. Every child deserves an education. Education Changes Lives.
