History

In 1970, a group of pioneer Malaysians was concerned about the emotional well being of the community after the occurrence of communal riots on the 13th May 1969.
With the assistance of professional psychiatrists and psychologists from University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, The Befrienders KL was established.
The Befrienders is a non profit organization modeled after Samaritans, a movement started in London
in 1953. Since then, the movement has spread to about 40 countries and now has 300 centers around
the world
