Our Work
Family is the bedrock of society. We believe in empowering families to become strong pillars in society through providing financial, social and emotional support and equipping each member, from the young to the old, with effective life skills and knowledge. For this reason our work centers on:
Training and Equipping
Our training & equipping programme covers topics that are applicable to youths and families. We also have parent-child bonding workshops to strength ties within the family. Our sexuality and family life education programmes are endorsed by Ministry of Education and Ministry of Social and Family Development respectively.
Financial Support
Singapore has been reported to have the largest numbers of millionaires. However, we do have a significant number of Singaporeans that are struggling to make ends meet. To help them cope with the rising costs of living and to ensure that the younger generation are not disadvantaged due to their family financial situation, we have provided financial assistance schemes to help these students and those in need. To ensure that students have an equal opportunity in life to excel, we have a financial assistance scheme to provide support for student for low income families. We provide monthly allowance and bursaries for students from selected primary, secondary and JC/Pre-U/ITE schools. Low income families can benefit from our Thrift Barn Credit Programme where they will get free monthly food rations and quarterly shopping credits at our thrift shop. We also provide short term financial assistance to individuals and families in crisis.
Befriending
No man is an island. At different stages of our lives we all need people around us to guide and support us. During the teenage years, students experience many changes and pressures within and around them. They often need good mentors to guide them as they develop and mature into adulthood. We have befriending programmes reaching out to students from lower income families and juvenile delinquents. Growing old can be lonely when all your family and friends are no longer around. We have a team of passionate volunteers that reach out and befriend the elderly from the selected HDB estates and nursing home.
Counselling
