The Budimas Charitable Foundation began by financially supporting 5 homes with 272 children, in the year 2002. Today, the foundation supported more than 2,000 children from 42 charitable homes across Malaysia. 42 of these homes are given financial assistance to help them cope with shortages in their funds for basic expenses. The foundation also manages and operates one home, Pusat Jagaan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Budimas Orion (Budimas Orion Home) which is located in Senawang, Negeri Sembilan. The home can accommodate up to 150 children and is equipped with basic necessities. To clothe, feed, educate and provide shelter for these underprivileged and orphaned children, it costs approximately RM15 per child, per day depending on their age. The children of the Orion home are from ages ranging from 4 to 18 years old.
