Abstract	Twenty-six years after the 1994 founding of The Kalsom Movement, an independent and voluntary student-led charity specializing in tackling education inequality in Malaysia, much has changed in the world. Yet despite the rise of societal and governmental awareness on the importance of education--especially primary education--and the advancements in education delivery and approaches, great challenges associated with accessibility and equality still exist. Formerly known as "Projek Kalsom" (Malay for "Project Kalsom"), The Kalsom Movement is a project made by students, for students. The movement is immersed in the concept of paying it forward. Recently recognized by the Malaysian Book of Records as the longest running student-led establishment in the country, Kalsom advocates against education inequality by instilling civic awareness among youth in the local community.
