The Association of Social Services and Community Development in Gombak District, Selangor (PSPK)

Women and Youth Unemployability among the Urban Poor

PSPK addresses the issue of women and youth unemployability among the urban poor. PSPK initiated a capacity building and skill development training programme to equip participants with baking and social entrepreneurial knowledge. These participants have subsequently been supported in a sustainable finance model via Malaysia’s first SDG-compliant café, Bites N Beans Café. Now, the women and youth have an avenue to acquire jobs – creating potential for long term self-sustainability.
