Our story

About Us

We help international students in Malaysia find friendship, support and a place to belong while they study far from home.

Our story

ANTS Resources has been established since 1985. AntsEducare is its education arm, and has been planning and delivering educational and student care services since 2022.

Thousands of international students arrive in Malaysia every year, many of them alone and far from family. We want each of them to find friends, a community and a place to belong while they are here - through language practice, shared meals and outings, serving others together, and someone to talk to when it is hard.

Vision, mission and values

Our Vision

To see international students thrive and experience positive change in their lives.

Our Mission

To walk alongside international students in Malaysia, helping them settle in, build meaningful connections, and make the most of their university experience.

Our values

  • Welcome

    Every student is a guest worth making room for, whatever their nationality, background or faith.

  • Care

    We listen first, without judgement, and walk with students when it is hard - not only when it is easy.

  • Connection

    Real friendships across cultures and campuses change how students see the world, and themselves.

  • Purpose

    Students have more to give than they think. We help them experience, impact and influence the communities around them.
