• the fun and informative physical geo-location “Singapore River Trails” activity on 2 September at the iconic Singapore River!

It would be great if you could also share this appeal with your family, relatives, friends, colleagues and social networks. Spreading the word about our cause will greatly increase our chances of success and widen our reach.

Give and/or Raise Funds

Many times, all it takes is a little support to enable a person with disabilities to stand tall and be able to contribute in our community.

With the economic uncertainties ahead and impending inflation, PwDs and their families would have to deal with even more daunting challenges. We are aiming to raise funds to continue helping more PwDs through our programmes and services, which could in turn ease the financial burdens of their families.

Little drops of water do make a mighty ocean. Your donation, along with those of others, would help to transform the lives of persons with disabilities. To give you an idea how far your contribution goes, every $20 you give will provide meals for a week for one person with disabilities receiving day care. You can make a donation here.

To have a more meaningful experience, you could also set up your own online fundraising campaign via www.giving.sg. Share your campaign on social media and rally your family and friends to support your effort. We will be giving our top fundraisers animal friendly leather key fob and leather tech roll up organiser specially made by our beneficiaries.
