Their World Only Revolves Around Their Home
Poor families live in their own small world. They are much less likely to travel.
Most of their income is spent on shelter and food, leaving no disposable income for family trips.
Exploring Places Spark Dreams
Every child comes to the classroom with a different world experience.
Confined to their home environment, children from low-income families lack motivation to pursue higher education. Let alone to dream big.
Travelling Boost Growth
Research found that children who travel have higher grades in school.
Field trips are one of the best tools that enhance empathy, tolerance and critical thinking skills.
The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom.

Why cash assistance instead of goods?As we communicate regularly with the families under our care, we realise that each family have their own unique struggles and circumstances. Understandably, different family have different preferences, or due to certain sickness, they have a certain diet or food intake to observe. Some, paying rent is the first thing on their list each month, while for others is to obtain certain treatment or medication. The priorities and commitments of each family are different hence we let the family decide how they want to spend their monthly cash assistance based on their priorities. Besides its efficiency, cash assistance also empowers them to take charge and manage their finances better.
