The name "Yayasan Munarah" is a combination of two highly respected royal figures – the late Tuanku Munawir ibni Al-Marhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman and the late Tuanku Durah binti Alang Rawin – both remembered for their significant contributions and dedication to the people of Negeri Sembilan.

Our Vision & Mission
To receive and administer, funds and property of any kind for the purpose of distribution by way of donation, grants, or interest-free loans to disabled, handicapped or under privileged individuals or to charitable, religious, educational or cultural institutions or organisations and to support healthcare and the general development of the community.
Since the day of its establishment, the organisation has been supporting those who are less fortunate – students who wish to further their studies, the downtrodden which includes single mothers, hard-core poor, the sick and families with small income.
With the initiative of working with Government Bodies (Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat, Baitulmal and other Organisations), Yayasan Munarah has managed to assist children of the hard-core poor/single mothers by placing them in privately run welfare homes and assisting with their educational fees. Today we are happy to mention considerable increase in efficiency and effectiveness of our work as well as involvement of new partners in our programs.
