Launched on October 12th, 2021, 1MillionDevices.my is a nationwide campaign by UPLIFT to bridge the digital divide in education by equipping every marginalised school-going child with a digital device. This isn’t about tech, it’s about giving these children an education and a fair chance in life.

Help us ensure that no child gets left behind in these challenging times.

Current Projects

  1. Stateless Child Go to School in 2026

    In Malaysia, stateless children, many born and raised here with one Malaysian parent must pay RM120 to RM240 just to access public education. These children dream of learning, just like any other child. But their families face an uphill battle. Levy fees, uniforms, shoes, textbooks, and school supplies often make schooling unaffordable. For over 20 years, DHRRA Malaysia (Development of Human Resources for Rural Areas) has been working to ensure stateless children are not left behind, helping with school enrolment, covering levy fees, and providing the essentials they need to learn and thrive.
