Chrystal Home consists of 2 homes (1 for boys, 1 for girls) in Taiping, Malaysia.

The Current Situation

Chrystal Home’s founder, Chantal Dorai, began fostering in 2003 with just 2 children. Since then, she has had to expand to two homes (one for boys and one for girls) to accommodate more than 30 children.

While the new rental home they moved into in 2014 is spacious, it continues to have problems, such as leaks throughout the house, rats chewing the new electrical appliance chords, flooding in the front driveway of the home when it  rains heavily, and a mosquito infestation that resulted in Chantal being hospitalized with dengue recently.

At the present, Chantal is looking for a new rental since the current one is not fit. If you have a rental contact in the Taiping area, please get in touch with her: 016-548-0856


In the video below you can get a glimpse of how passionate and endearing Chantal is and the challenges of running two homes.  Her heart is grand and her will mighty!
The children themselves are incredibly kind, respectable and filled with gratitude for her and all the volunteers who have come to know them over the years.  Their manner and attitude is a direct reflection of how Chantal truly is doing all she can to be a parent, mentor and advocate for these children, but it is a full time job!

Please watch the video:

 

Thank you for taking the time to listen to Chantal and learn more about the beautiful children at Chrystal Home.

Our goal is to raise 100,000rm (equivalent to USD$27,00.00) beginning July 13th, 2015.

The Impact

This campaign will enable Chantal and the children at Chrystal Home to build a committee of volunteers, hire a few staff and  start saving towards a home they can call their own.

Other Ways You Can Help – Come volunteer with the children.

Some people just can’t contribute monetarily, but have skills to share and a network of resourceful people.  Word of mouth is a powerful tool!!  Please help us find sponsors and volunteers by posting this on your Facebook, Twitter, Blog, etc.

With your help and a committee of volunteers we can seek corporate funding, find sponsors to help build a home, as well as employ a bus driver and daycare for the homes.

Chrystal Home volunteer profile pic“My time with Chantal and the children of Chrystal Home has been fun-filled, heartfelt, and incredibly comforting.   They genuinely come to love and care for you like a family.  There isn’t any greater gift for an expat living abroad.  I hope that together, we can help Chantal and the children in their mission to build a home of their own.  First and foremost, they need a committee of 8 volunteers and continuous fundraising efforts such as this campaign page.  With these in place, we can ensure they are provided the best of care for their academic and social needs.”
