M’Lop Tapang, working with vulnerable children, youth, their families, and their communities.

Our Work
One of the unique aspects of M’Lop Tapang is the scope of comprehensive programs and a multi-disciplinary approach to working with vulnerable and at-risk children. With specialized teams working in collaboration, this holistic approach allows us to assess each beneficiary’s situation and respond to the individual needs of every child or family in an immediate and sustainable manner.
