13 January 2018

On 13 January 2017, Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan, Executive Chairman of Berjaya Corporation Berhad ("BCorp") officiated the launch of Ozanam Education Programme at Westlane Place, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Also present at the launch were the Chairman of Yayasan Ozanam, Datuk Watson Peters and Executive Director of BCorp, Nerine Tan together with the senior management of UMobile Sdn Bhd and RedTone International Berhad.

The Ozanam Education Programme is a free education programme for underprivileged youths focuses on three main subjects which are English, Mathematics and basic Computer Literacy. The programme has a structured syllabus in place to help guide the volunteer teachers in delivering their lessons in an effective manner. The progress of the students is assessed through their proficiency levels. The students are never rushed to the next level until the subject taught is understood. This will ensure that the students are learning at their own pace and ability while building their self-confidence along the way. The skills learned will give them an edge when entering the working world.

Yayasan Ozanam is a registered charitable foundation established by the National Society of St. Vincent de Paul Malaysia in 1998. To date, Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan and his personal foundation, Better Malaysia Foundation together with Berjaya Cares Foundation have contributed more than RM300,000 including 3 units of 14-seater vans for the various charitable projects under the Yayasan Ozanam.
