Our Credentials
Breathe Life is a registered non-profit organisation, which is set up to provide assistance and care for Rohingya families in Penang, Malaysia.
Our team is made up of Birthing, Nursing, Education, Project Management, Communication, and layperson volunteers, and we are finalizing plans for providing Mental Health in Rohingya communities. We are qualified in the fields we serve in and foster good ethics and standards.
Non-Rohingya operate on a volunteer basis to prioritize our Rohingya translators and helpers, who are paid for their services as they develop in knowledge and upskill.
