MySkills Campus
A modern library for underprivileged students at a residential campus aims to provide equitable access to resources and foster personal growth. It will feature a diverse collection of books and flexible study spaces for individual and group work. Support services will include tutoring, research assistance, and workshops, alongside community engagement through events and cultural activities. Accessibility initiatives will ensure all students, including those with disabilities and non-native speakers, can fully benefit from the library. This inclusive facility is essential for empowering students and enhancing their academic success.
A Universal Prayer Hall is a place designed to bring people of all faiths together in spiritual harmony, where individuals can pray, reflect, and meditate according to their own religious practices. It is a symbol of unity, respect, and inclusivity, often featuring diverse architectural elements and symbols representing various belief systems. The space is designed to encourage peace, understanding, and a sense of belonging, where everyone is welcome to connect with the divine in their own way.
A hostel is a place where students should feel like home and be comfortable.
MySkills Foundation’s Campus has a spacious hostel for girls. Girls always feel happy and comfortable in their new hostel.
The hostel can accommodate about 100 students. Currently, we have prepared accomodations with new beds, mattresses and wardrobe cabinets for 50 students.
Besides, we have a huge hall where it can accommodate 100 students. Girls usually attend virtual classes, Zumba, and manicure and pedicure classes in the hall. There are 4 dormitories, 16 washrooms, laundry, pantry and also washing machine area for cloth washing.
During a student’sfree time, girls use the pantry for discussion and sharing session. Some of the classes will be conducted at pantry.
Atomic habits like cleaning, bed making ,and dusting are their regular duties. the students must make sure their places are always clean and neat.
It has always been our DREAM to build a self-contained transformation campus. Thus, we acquired 32 acres of land in Kalumpang, Hulu Selangor in 2014. The land was bought together with 3 empty factory lots each located on an area of 23,000 sq.ft on 26th September 2012 for RM3.0 Million from Danaharta.

In June , 2016 we bought the fourth factory building and 3 acres ofland located in the centre of our land at a price of RM1.9 Million. The total cost of purchase was RM4.9 Million. Total area that we have acquired now is 35 acres.
Growing student population requires conducive hostel accommodation; that fits the requirement to house 300 students and 10 staff for campus operations. The facilities planned are more on open dormitory concept which includes a common area for regular usage (pantry, watching tv, assembly area). This is to create residential environment within the complex.
As students number grow year by year, there is greater need for transformation activities or programs in campus. The indoor Sports Complex facilities provides space for Gym, Yoga, Indoor Games, and even Boot Camp with outdoor Spartan obstacle trail.
