ABOUT ENGLISH QUILL & ASSOCIATES (EQA)

2. ABOUT ENGLISH QUILL & ASSOCIATES (EQA) THE THINGS WE VALUE MOST IMPACT EVERYTHING WE DO. From the initial efforts and passion of one English teacher and her family who started a small English language training firm in 2012, to the collaboration of philanthropists, NGOs and volunteers who helped EQA formed Hope Spring (Yemen) in 2016, and PermataFarhana (Malaysia) in 2018 – English Quill’s journey in providing management services with the aim to assist in helping the poor and illiterate is one of big vision and inspired commitment. Our team consists of dedicated workers who are committed to help our associates create truly sustainable, compassionate care and real empowerment for people of all walks of life in Malaysia and Yemen. Our associates lend their vision and support whilst EQA manages the projects - providing necessary skills, manpower and talents to fulfil the shared vision. Based in Selangor Malaysia, our organizational roots began with a determined Malaysian English teacher who began her career as an English Training Consultant a few years before EQA was officially formed.

3. Our Story In 2015, EQA Managing Director HazlinaTajudin joined a local NGO as its Excutive Secretary. Hazlina’s outlook and career focus changed from that point onwards from merely an educator to a charity worker who now sees humanity and opportunities to make a difference in people’s lives in all of her project’s undertakings. Our interest in Yemen began in 2016, when a chanced conversation with a student from Yemen brought to light the devastating state the country was in. The subsequent research on Yemen shocked us as the conflict there has caused the worst humanitarian crisis the world has ever seen, yet the world community seems to have either missed Yemen’s desperate need for aid or ignored it. Photos sent directly to us from reliable sources in Yemen left a searing imprint on our hearts and mind: thousands of orphaned children loved by no one and deprived of basic health care. Human beings whose constant companions were hopelessness and despair. Aided by her teammates at the NGO, Hazlina undertook management of the Yemen portfolio and expanded it to include water wells, solar panels for mosques and schools to more complex projects requiring on-going supervision such as micro finance for orphans and others. In 2018 Hazlina left the NGO to fully focus on managing humanitarian based projects via EQA. She now leads our organization whose core service is providing management services for local projects in Malaysia and Yemen. Today, EQA’s reliability in implementing wide ranging and complex projects has earned EQA the trust of her workers, volunteers and collaborators especially in war-torn and difficult to access Yemen where every source of information must be managed carefully and sensitively. To date EQA has 4 divisions under its umbrella including Hope Spring which manages 9 on-going projects in Yemen exclusively. In retrospect, that one conversation between Hazlina and her Yemeni student was the catalyst that had birthed Hope Spring in EQA, transformed EQA to what it is today, and continues to make life changing impact in a humble teacher’s life. Alhamdulillah.
