NurKreatif !

NurKreatif is jointly funded by Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, Malaysia and Prihatin Malaysia to set up a multimedia center in Kajang (Women) Prison in Kajang, Selangor. Using the skills learned, the inmates managed to create creative artworks such as flyers, brochures, greeting cards, product labels and many others. (More in Press Release)

The project gives guidance, hope, skills and confidence for the inmates to start afresh a new lease of life. ICT is used to prepare, train and enhance the target group’s ability to offer niche services in multimedia and desktop publishing. Upon completion of the detention period, the inmates will be able to offer services such as desktop publishing, digital photography, digital videography and telecenter services. In addition, seminars, workshops and motivational talks will be organized to build capacity and confidence of the inmates.

Currently, there are no comprehensive ICT based trainings for the inmates. Instead, traditional, vocational-based training such as batik-printing, handicraft-making and tailoring are provided. There is also a lack of self-esteem, confidence and ambition among the inmates due to lack of guidance and knowledge to go after the opportunities available in the outside world.
