Under the supervision of the Office of the Chief Coordinator of Zone Administration, six Yayasan Sabah zone offices, namely the West Coast South Zone (Kota Kinabalu), West Coast North Zone (Kota Marudu), East Coast South Zone (Tawau), North East Coast North Zone (Sandakan), Interior South Zone (Beaufort), and Interior North Zone (Keningau), implement core and support programmes.

The core programmes consist of Intellect and Mind, Sociocultural and Socioeconomic. The support programmes include the Yayasan Sabah Special Assistance Scheme (SBK), Yayasan Sabah Secondary Assistance (BMYS), Yayasan Sabah District Hostel, breaking of fast, community craft, community infrastructure aid, and disaster relief aid (fire/flood victims).

CORE PROGRAMME

Intellect and Mind Programme

This programme aims to increase school students' motivation through motivational seminars and to encourage parents' involvement in their children's education.

This programme is also expected to improve student performance, especially that of primary five and six students at the primary school level and form four and five students at the secondary school level.

Sociocultural Programme

This programme aims to form positive individuals with high ethics, morals and self-esteem. In a wider context, this can help the country achieve the status of a developed country, not only in terms of physical and economic development but also from spiritual and psychological aspects.

The programmes implemented include mutual aid (such as building houses, bridges, gravity pipes, and wells), sports carnivals, breaking of fast, funeral management courses, blood donation campaigns, solidarity seminars, and religious activities.

Socioeconomics Programme

This programmes aim to develop talent and skills within the community, contributing to the state's overall development and socioeconomic progress. It encompasses various areas of human capital development, including skills training, entrepreneurship courses, and initiatives for women's and youth advancement.

The programmes include handicraft-making courses, youth and women entrepreneurs development, small-scale agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture, livestock projects, homestays, baking courses, and online marketing and packaging courses.

Yayasan Sabah Special Assistance Scheme (SBK)

SBK is an effort by the Group to help reduce the burden on the families of students from the B40 group through learning support assistance.

Yayasan Sabah Secondary Assistance Scheme (BMYS)

BMYS provides financial assistance to students in form one to six, prioritising those from B40 families. This programme aims to alleviate the financial burden on parents and enhance students' academic performance.

Yayasan Sabah District Hostel

Since 1972, the Group has built hostels in various districts throughout the State so that rural students can attend schools in urban areas. With the improved infrastructures, especially the road system and secondary schools that provide hostels, rural hostels built by the Group were gradually phased out. Presently, two district hostels are in operation, i.e. Keningau and Sipitang.

Breaking of Fast Programme

Breaking the fast programme with the community is part of an annual programme held in selected districts throughout Sabah to strengthen the relationship between the Group and the local community.

Community Crafts Programme (PKK)

It is implemented through six Zone offices based on the skills of the targeted local community's skills. The programme emphasises strengthening, developing, and improving the target group's handicraft-making skills. In addition, PKK in-situ continues its implementation by using local infrastructure to maximise the involvement of many trainees from all over Sabah.

Community Infrastructure Assistance Programme

Community programmes include the construction/repair of homes, bridges/piers, and gravity pipes/wells to enhance the quality of life for those in need, particularly in rural communities.

Disaster Relief Aid

This natural disaster relief programme aims to ease the burden faced by victims of natural disasters.
