DAYBREAK is an acronym for Disabled Adults and Youths Being Rewarded, Encouraged and Awarded in Kinta.

Our story began in 1992. Initiated by the Social Concerns Committee of the Canning Garden Methodist Church (CGMC), we started out in a rented shop house in Ipoh’s famous “Old Town” as Daybreak Centre. A first of its kind, we set out to help the disabled find a meaningful place in society by providing a training ground in specialized skills and a retail center for their handicrafts. Within two years, our trainees grew in numbers. There were also many who were successfully placed in permanent jobs that we decided to move our Training department to a larger premise in Gopeng so we could reach out to those living around that area and help them benefit from our program too. However, our Administration and Handicrafts departments remained in Ipoh.

OUR VISION
