YTL Foundation x Yellow House KL Rejuvenation
Community 30 October 2024
The Yellow House project is a collaboration between YTL Construction, YTL Foundation and Yellow House KL, aimed at revitalising the Yellow House building with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The renovation process is centred around the use of bamboo, a renewable resource, reflecting our commitment to environmentally responsible construction. This is achieved through close cooperation with the Stewards of Environmentally-Aware Development (SEAD) to ensure the bamboo is sourced and utilised sustainably.
In support of Yellow House’s rejuvenation and its broader ambitions, YTL Foundation made an initial donation of MYR50,000 to kickstart the fundraising efforts, effectively doubling the MYR50,000 that Yellow House had already secured. As the Design and Construction partner, YTL Construction has been actively involved in the restoration work, which is nearing completion as of August 2024, at an estimated cost of MYR275,000. Beyond financial contributions, YTL Construction’s employee have actively participated in fundraising efforts through various events, including a pre-loved bazaar where they sold pre-loved belongings and baked goods to raise funds. During YTL Construction’s Family Day in September 2023, the sports houses also sold items, with all proceeds directed towards the Yellow House project.
Located in Ampang, Yellow House KL is dedicated to improving lives to be more sustainable for homeless individuals, urban poor and refugee communities in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. This collaboration reflects our commitment to both sustainability and social responsibility, creating a lasting positive impact within the community. The construction work for Yellow House is expected to be completed this year.
