Shelter is a registered welfare organization. It has been in existence since 1981 to help abused, abandoned, neglected or at-risk children. Shelter Home for Children was started by a group of seven friends who wanted to help the children in a squatter settlement along Old Klang Road. The group decided to rent a single storey bungalow in Section 12, Petaling Jaya and decided to bring one of the families from the settlement who had been evicted from their house to stay in the house in Section 12.

Shelter established 10 kindergartens, the first one being in Damansara Dalam (1989). Shelter then, decided to close down the kindergarten after 15 years of operation because they noticed a dramatic drop in the number of students attending their kindergarten. They decided to move into a more dramatic approach in helping disadvantaged children by being a positive influence on teenagers.

Now, they have set-up a youth community centre called Drop Zone. This is place for teenagers to hang out, where the purpose is on the personal development of youths aged 13-20 through healthy and positive activities.

Due to certain conditions, Shelter decided to set up Shelter 2 in 1987, Shelter 3 in 1995, Shelter 4 (1996) and later, Shelter 5 (2001). Each 5 Shelters has their different purposes. Shelter 1 is a home for children from 4 to 12 years of age who has been abused, neglected, at-risk or abandoned by their families, parents or guardians.  Shelter 2 is a home for teenage girls aged from 13 to 18 years. It is located in Kuala Lumpur. Teenage boys aged from 13 to 18 are placed in Shelter 3.
