ADDRESSING the vulnerability of the homeless with the increasing Covid-19 cases gave birth to Pusat Transformasi Anjung Kelana (PTAK). PTAK is a homeless shelter that accommodates around 70 people experiencing homelessness. PTAK uses urban farming as a medium to nurture farming skills and inculcate a positive attitude among the homeless. By establishing Kebun Bandar Hijrah Warrior (KBHW) farm, PTAK provides farming skills to homeless people.
The initiation of PTAK and KBHW is a collaborative effort between YB Tan Sri Anuar Musa, Agensi Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL), Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan (KWP), Yayasan Kebajikan Negara (YKN) and Persatuan Kebajikan Golongan Asnaf dan Gelandangan Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor (KASGE).
