The YWCA Kuala Lumpur has been empowering and providing safe spaces for women and girls for generations through programs and initiatives, and is perhaps most known for its Vocational Training Opportunity Centre that has equipped more than 1,800 girls from B40 communities all over the country with income-generating skills.
