ABOUT US
We are a non-profit foundation who manages Rumah Aman Orphanage & Welfare Home for underprivileged children.
OUR STORY
“Rumah Aman” means “Peaceful Home” in Malay. It is more than just an orphanage—it’s a nurturing and supportive environment for children who are orphaned or come from extremely poor backgrounds. The organization offers not only shelter, but also a sense of family, along with educational support to track and guide the development of each child holistically.
Founded in 2005 by Abdul Rehman Dakri and his wife, Mehrunessa Dakri, Rumah Aman began in Seksyen 2, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. As the need for a larger facility grew, a new home was established in Saujana Utama in 2013, with the capacity to house up to 100 children. However, to maintain quality care, the number of children is intentionally limited to no more than 50 at any one time.
Until mid-2020, the Shah Alam home was dedicated to female children while the Saujana Utama home accommodated the boys. To better utilize resources and improve operational efficiency, all children—both boys and girls—were later relocated to the Saujana Utama home.
Beginning in 2025, Rumah Aman has adjusted its care model and will now be accepting only boys into the home.
WHAT WE DO
To provide them with a peaceful home, education support and developing their Islamic characters.
We provide a peaceful home by treating the children as our own. "once the children enters Rumah Aman, they are no longer orphans," as quoted by the founder (Abdul Rehman Dakri) himself, as they have become a part of a bigger family.
We ensure that the Home is fully equipped with the very best facilities and staff. We have libraries, computer labs, classrooms, a huge dining hall, pristine kitchen, a massive playground together with a futsal court, an indoor hall and a rooftop play area. Also, we have 8 bedrooms to ensure that the children are comfortable and not overcrowded.
We have assigned education staff and tutors to assist with the education aspect of things. From the administrative requirements to ensure that they are able to go to school (located nearby our home in Saujana Utama), to logistics, to extra-classes/tuition, and assist the children in however way they can to ensure they have the best education experience. The staff work tirelessly to ensure no children are left behind in their academics; also they play a huge role in shaping as well as nurturing the attitudes, motivation and discipline in the children.
We focus highly in the Islamic character development, as we believe that with the right balance of circular academic and religious education, these children will be better prepared once they leave the nest of Rumah Aman; in search of independence and a rewarding career.
