Parents serve as the cornerstone, providing love, support and guidance to create an environment where children can truly thrive.
Since 2001, the Anugerah Ibu Kiwanis has been championed by the Kiwanis Club of Taman Tun Dr Ismail. This distinguished event is dedicated to honouring exceptional mothers who selflessly worked towards enhancing their children’s lives and at the same time contributing to society.

As primary caregivers and advocates, especially for children with special needs, mothers embody the sentiment that ‘The Hand that Rocks the Cradle Rules the World’, beautifully encapsulating their profound influence on their children and the work they shape.
