ABOUT KDSF
The idea of a facility to help children with Down Syndrome was first mooted in 1988 by a group of Kiwanians from the Kiwanis Club of Kuala Lumpur. In 1990 the Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation (KDSF) was formed. Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation’s primary focus is providing critical early intervention programmes (EIP) for children with Down Syndrome from two months to six years old. One of the main objectives is to prepare the children so that they are ready for the Special Education in typical government schools.
