G.I.A Refugee Learning Centre is a dynamic, multicultural educational hub based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We proudly serve a diverse student body of over 70 learners from countries such as Yemen, Palestine, Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia, South Sudan, Kenya, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar—all of whom are UNHCR-registered refugees. Our centre is located in the Setapak and Danau Kota areas, where we focus on uplifting underserved communities through the transformative power of education.

Mission Statement

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide accessible, high-quality education to refugee children who have limited or no access to formal schooling. We believe that every child—regardless of nationality, background, or circumstance—deserves access to quality education. Through compassion, dedication, and community support, we empower our students to dream boldly and build brighter futures.

What We Stand For

Inclusivity: Welcoming learners from all walks of life, regardless of nationality or background

Empowerment: Equipping students with academic and life skills to help them thrive

Community Impact: Strengthening refugee communities through education and support

Thanks to the programs, I gained confidence and the ability to pursue my dreams in a new country.
