I've been meaning to write about this shelter home for some time, even before the fasting month started, but anyway...better late than never.
Rumah Titian Kasih (RTK) is a shelter home for orphans, children and single mothers from broken families, the disabled and senior citizens and it is located just beside Tasik Titiwangsa, KL. It has been set up around 23 years ago and managed by Puan Sharifah Adlan (Mak Pah) and all those times, the home has been receiving voluntary help from various institutions, organizations and individuals in continuing its operation. The home basically provides roof for shelter for the people who need it, especially the young people who do not have any place else to go while they are growing up and receive their education until they can live independently on their own.
Other than receiving outside help, the single mothers of this home made small businesses selling snack food, mini catering and others as their source of income for this home. From personal experience, eating the lunch meal and the 'cendol' that they prepared were superb!
