Saving babies, rebuilding families | Star Golden Hearts Award 2025

Published on 27 Nov 2025 9:00:56 PM

Driven by her late husband Datuk Adnan Mohd Tahir’s belief that every child deserves a family, Datin Elya Lim Abdullah continues his legacy through the OrphanCare Foundation — the organisation behind Malaysia’s first baby hatch, offering mothers in crisis a safe alternative to abandoning their newborns.

Since its founding in 2009, OrphanCare has rescued 702 babies, reintegrated older institutionalised children with their families, and placed many others in adoptive homes through rigorous screening and counselling.

For their noble efforts, OrphanCare Foundation is named as one of the 10 winners of the Star Golden Hearts Award 2025, an annual award by The Star that honours everyday Malaysian unsung heroes.
