Young Marriages

INSPIRASI PPIS

At INSPIRASI PPIS, we recognise the sanctity of marriage and the importance of supporting young marriages.

About

PPIS was one of two organisations appointed in 2007 by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) to help young Muslim couples in building strong marital and familial relationships, as well as to help them adjust to changes needed in order to create a healthy and enriching family environment.

Our Marriage Preparation Programme (MPrep) is designed for young couples and their parents to make an informed decision on marriage, as well as to prepare the young couples for family life.

Apart from MPrep, young married couples can continue to benefit from our range of Marriage Enrichment and Support Programme (MESP).
