As part of its efforts in supporting the welfare of people with special needs and the less fortunate in the society, Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah (Yayasan) has been continuously providing assistance to non-governmental associations that are coordinating and handling development programmes for the needy.
Since 2007, Yayasan has provided financial assistance amounting to BND$50,000 annually for the Society for the Management of Autism Related issues in Training, Education and Resources (SMARTER) to fund their management and activities for children with special needs.
In April 2012, Yayasan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SMARTER Brunei which aimed to further strengthening cooperation between both agencies as well as developing the skills of children at the center in various fields.
Under the MoU as well, Yayasan donates BND$50,000 annually to SMARTER Brunei.
While in 2015, Yayasan donated another BND$50,000 for the construction of five classrooms for the SMARTER Center, while another BND$4,000 for purchasing educational equipment needed by the center.
