About the Artiste / Group
Extraordinary People Impacting Communities or EPIC is an award-winning social enterprise that enables ordinary people to live extraordinary lives dedicated to creating positive impact around them.
Since our establishment in 2010, we have been creating programmes that integrate leadership development, team building and volunteerism into meaningful impact making experiences.
EPIC has also proudly been involved in development projects around the region, while also establishing ourselves as consultants to organisations from multiple sectors, including the Malaysian government and most recently the Obama Foundation.
Our flagship programme is called the EPIC Homes. EPIC Homes aims to build relationships between the urban and rural divide through the act of building homes for underprivileged communities, currently focusing on the indigenous people of Peninsular Malaysia, the Orang Asli.
They now have built 313 homes to date, and have worked with over 9000 volunteers. They continuously seek more people to be part of our community.
