$\t St. Nicholas' Home 100th Anniversary Fun Walk$

A century of service to the visually impaired community will be commemorated this year as St. Nicholas' Home Penang marks its 100th anniversary, with a series of activities including a community fun walk aimed at raising awareness and support for the blind and visually impaired.
One of the highlight events is the St. Nicholas’ Home 100th Anniversary Fun Walk, scheduled for April 18, 2026, bringing together families, supporters, and fitness enthusiasts in a meaningful celebration of inclusion and community spirit.
The fun walk, organised in conjunction with the Home’s centennial celebrations, is expected to attract participants from across Penang and beyond. Registration for the event is currently open, with entries closing on March 31, 2026.
Founded nearly a century ago to date, St. Nicholas’ Home has played a pivotal role in supporting individuals who are blind or visually impaired through education, rehabilitation and community programmes. Over the decades, the institution has expanded its services to include vocational training, computer skills development, and specialized support for people with multiple disabilities, helping them achieve greater independence and integration into society.
Beyond its training and welfare programmes, the Home has also been actively involved in community initiatives that promote eye health, accessibility and inclusion. Through partnerships with organizations and healthcare providers, it has contributed to programmes such as cataract surgery assistance for underprivileged patients, helping restore vision and improve quality of life for many beneficiaries.
