sustainable development goals

1. SDG 4: Quality Education
Ensuring inclusive and equitable education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all.

We run art education programmes in collaboration with multiple art organisations. These programmes provide young talents with the opportunity to learn, grow, and express themselves through creativity and artistic expression.

II. SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
Reducing inequalities of access and opportunity within communities.

We established the House of Art in Kampung Attap, an affordable co-living residence subsidized by YLYH for creatives. This initiative ensures that young artists have a safe and affordable space to live, pursue their dreams, and remain in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s cultural scene.

III. SDG 11: Sustainable Cities
& Communities
Making cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.

Our annual PESZTA Festival in Kampung Attap celebrates Malaysian artists, musicians, and cultural practitioners. By creating platforms for community-based arts engagement, we contribute to a vibrant and sustainable cultural ecosystem in Kuala Lumpur.

IV. SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth
Promoting sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth.

By supporting the creative economy extensively, YLYH helps to create opportunities, exposure, and livelihoods for local artists and cultural workers. We champion the arts not just as an expression, but as a viable and sustainable profession.

V. SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
Strengthening partnerships for sustainable development.

Collaboration is at the heart of our work. From partnering with leading arts organisations to working with local communities, YLYH builds meaningful connections that amplify the impact of arts and culture across Malaysia.
