Our story

A social enterprise built around people, not products.

Life2Life is a brainchild of ElShaddai Centre Berhad, set up in 2018 to engage with our community holistically — through dignified income opportunities, practical services, and goods that carry a story.

Why we exist

Good work, given freely, changes a life.

We started in January 2018 with a small office-cleaning service team. The premise was simple: many of our friends — refugees, single mothers, long-term unemployed — were ready and willing to work, but doors were closing in their faces. So we opened one.

From cleaning, we grew into tailoring. From tailoring, into soap-making, masks, headbands, and bags. From craft, into aircon repair and servicing. Each new line was a response to a person who needed a chance, and a skill that could be taught and paid for.

Today, Life2Life has touched the lives of more than 150 individuals. Our brand keeps evolving — because the people we walk with keep growing, too.

Timeline

How we grew, one chapter at a time.

  1. 2018

    A small cleaning team

    Life2Life is set up as a brainchild of ElShaddai Centre Berhad — beginning with a humble office-cleaning service and a handful of community members looking for steady work.

  2. 2019

    Tailoring and craft

    Sewing machines arrive. The first cohort of tailors begins producing uniforms, masks, and bags. Soap-making and the headband collection follow.

  3. 2021

    Air-conditioning service

    A new line of work opens up: aircon repair, servicing, and installation, delivered to a professional standard by trained technicians and apprentices.

  4. Today

    A growing platform

    Six services and product lines, more than 150 people impacted, and a brand that is constantly evolving alongside the communities we serve.

What we hold to

Four values that shape every decision.

01

Dignity, first

We don’t do charity that strips agency. We pay for work, train for the long term, and trust people with real responsibility.

02

Quality, always

A humble service in a world-class standard. Our customers come back because the work is good — the social impact is the bonus.

03

Sustainability, in practice

Local sourcing, low-waste production, and products you can use for years — not single-season fashion.

04

Community, at the centre

Every cent of profit goes back into people: training programmes, fair wages, mental health support, and dignified opportunities.

Our parent
