Kawan Drop-In Centre

Kawan Drop-In Center (30 June 2014)


Kawan is a centre to help needy people living in the city of George Town. It is run by an interdenominational Christian organisation called YWAM Malaysia. The acronym stands for Youth With A Mission.

Kawan calls itself a "drop in center". In other words, it is a place where people with needs can drop in. Kawan is, among other things, a soup kitchen offering free breakfast and lunch as well as a place for homeless people to bathe and to wash their clothing. Kawan also provides counselling and information on sexually transmitted diseases, as they often deal with those addicted to drugs as well as those engaged in the sex industry.

The services at Kawan is managed by teams of volunteers. In addition to providing the aforementioned services, the volunteers also conduct Bible studies in the vernacular language. As it is run by volunteers, it is not open daily, but rather only three days per week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
