Kechara Soup Kitchen is a Community Action Group, which consists of volunteers from all walks of life distributing food to the homeless and urban poor in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Every week, come rain or shine, a group of volunteers gather in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to distribute halal food and offer first aid to the homeless. When sponsorship allows, we also distribute umbrellas during the wet seasons.
From distributing 20 packs of food when we first started, we are now able to distribute around 130 packs of food. This is due to the generous sponsorship from kind donors, who often join us to distribute to the needy. Our giving to all, regardless of race, gender, religion or culture is the basis of our motto: Hunger Knows No Barriers.
Our medium term goal is to have a permanent SOUP KITCHEN in a building in the centre of town, as near as possible to the urban poor, so we can provide food, shelter and counseling to empower the homeless to regain dignity and become employable and independent. To achieve this, we also have a long term goal to create a NURTURE CENTRE. To achieve this, we need help - any contributions are welcome, whether in financial donations or volunteering your time, skills or resources. Talk to us today!
Please join us on our journey...

Batri's family and his rickshaw |
News from Kathmandu:
Batri the Kathmandu Rickshaw Wallah
During the first few weeks of Rinpoche's stay in Kathmandu, one evening Rinpoche went to Vijeshwari Vajrayogini Temple, and on the way back to Thamel, Rinpoche took a rickshaw and the rickshaw driver was a nice man called Batri, Rinpoche bought Batri a large bag of rice and some vegetables. During the following few weeks we also met Batri on the street a few times and used his rickshaw service, Batri is always pleasant and helpful, and never greedy, in fact he is always looking out for Rinpoche on street because he is grateful and likes Rinpoche a lot, and he refers to Rinpoche as "the tall one".
