Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang has adopted Penang Shan Children’s Home Association as its EMBRACE beneficiary. The home is a welfare organisation that accepts children from underprivileged families.

Getting the Basics Right 
The resort has conducted a Fire Life Safety programme to create a fire escape route and educate the children on safety escape procedures. In addition, the resort has also held a food hygiene programme to give the house's parents and caregivers information on the proper food safety and handling procedures.

Over the years, the resort has made structural upgrades to the home, such as building cabinets and storage space. In addition, in line with the hotel's energy-saving measures, plans are to replace the home's fluorescent lights with energy-efficient bulbs.

Volunteerism
Staff are encouraged to volunteer their time and impart their knowledge and skills to the children. Staff volunteers have also initiated and driven their projects for the home with support and assistance from the Corporate Social Responsibility department.

Lend your support
You can support the home through donations or spending time with the children and imparting crucial life skills. For more details, please get in touch with our Corporate Social Responsibility department at (604) 888 8888.

Apart from assisting Penang Shan Children's Home Association, the resort is also actively facilitating lifesaving surgical procedures for children born with congenital heart defects.

Under the 'Embrace Gift of Life' Programme, the resort made the lives of babies and small children brighter by sponsoring corrective heart surgery for truly deserving individuals. Until December 2021, the resort had contributed RM1.2 million to 34 children over the past eight years since 2012. In addition, in collaboration with medical partners Gleneagles Penang Medical Centre, National Heart Institute and Penang Adventist Hospital, the resort played a proactive role in granting children born with heart defects a fresh start in life and a brighter future.
