Youth are the future of our Nation. Yet many needy and the less priviledged Youth, particularly those in the rural areas, are being left out from the mainstream of education and other opportunities. They are pleading to you and your organization to take them into consideration. In answer to their plights, the Brothers of St. Gabriel established its first foundation known as Montfort Boys Town (MBT
) in Shah Alam, Selangor in 1959. The demand for places had prompted the Brothers to reach out and establish Centres in Sabah and Melaka.
“A Home Truly Dear for Needy Youth” was established in Sabah in June 1999 on a 1.1-acre site in Donggongon, Penampang, starting with 15 Trainees on makeshift facilities. Gradually, the number increased to 70. With the steady support of the public, the corporate sectors, individual donors and Charitable Foundations, this humble beginning had begun to bear fruits after having equipped many Youth with character formation, technical skills, discipline, spiritual and moral values for dignified living.
