On this episode of the #TheFutureIsFemale, Melisa Idris speaks to Datin Elya Lim Abdullah, one of the trustees at OrphanCare, about the NGO’s ethos that ‘no child should be denied family life because of circumstances’. They discuss deinstitutionalisation, which is the process of transitioning children raised in orphanages and children’s homes into families and community-based care.
