Who We Are

Creating long-term, sustainable impacts in communities across Malaysia.

Yayasan Tengku Abdullah (YTA) was founded in 2021 as the charity arm of FOMEMA Sdn. Bhd., embodying the belief that every person, regardless of background, deserves the opportunity to rise above life’s challenges.

Our mission goes beyond simply providing aid. It is about creating hope and empowering Malaysia’s most vulnerable and underserved—Asnafs, single mothers, orphans and other marginalised communities. With an additional focus on the B40 segment, our initiatives aim to bridge socio-economic gaps, offering holistic, long-term solutions that transform lives across generations.

Here, we believe in the transformative power of community, and through our work, we strive to inspire lasting change that brings dignity, growth and opportunity to every corner of society, while empowering others to do the same.
