From preschool classrooms to senior communities

Persatuan Kebajikan Rolf Schnyder is a Malaysian society. It delivers the Malaysia work of Fondation Rolf Schnyder, a Swiss foundation established in 2012.

The ability to participate safely in a digital society is no longer optional. Our work builds structured pathways across generations — early childhood through older adults — with Malaysian ministries, universities and institutions.

Why it matters.

When people can use technology with judgement, they can take part in the systems that shape their lives. Technology should expand opportunity, not replace it.

In Malaysia we support computer science, digital literacy and child safeguarding, including in rural schools. Fondation Rolf Schnyder is the certified Code.org Professional Learning Partner. PKRS delivers that partnership here — training teachers so the work sits inside public education.

The work is delivered inside existing education and community systems, including with underserved communities, so mastery stays with the teachers already there.

Measured impact.

7,500+ students in standards-aligned computer science pathways

Statewide preschool computer science integration, with early AI awareness

15,000 children reached through safeguarding work

Our approach.

We work with educators and institutions already in the community. Train-the-trainer is how the work stays after a workshop ends. One example is the Digital Technologies Seniors Programme with Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak.

In public education.

“We are grateful for Persatuan Kebajikan Rolf Schnyder’s KIDS Bits & Bytes Foundational Coding Program for preschools in Sarawak. Once children learn these digital skills, Sarawak will be in safe hands in the digital economy.”
