The headmaster later informed Quah that the centre would be closed due to lack of funds—the United Nations Refugee Agency decided not to renew its sponsorship. Together with fellow volunteer Andrea Prisha, Quah sold food door-to-door and utilized social media to raise funds. They were able to keep the school operating for 6 months. Afterwards, in 2012, Quah established Refuge for the Refugees together with friend Andrea Prisha. Malaysia does not endorse the Refugee Convention and Protocol, so the organization provides refugees an access to basic education and healthcare. They provide vocational and entrepreneurship training so they will be able to sustain themselves. The organization also rescues refugees from detention camps and human trafficking syndicates. They also visit refugee communities and donate hardware and funds.
