YWCA’s Community Services and Programmes

1) Hungry No More: Sustenance for Families – Distributes dry rations to needy families every month

2) Hungry No More: Meals-on-Wheels for Elderly and Children – Distributes free nutritious lunches and dinners for elderly and children respectively from low-income families every weekday.

3) Kids’ Weekday Care – A thrice-weekly afterschool care focusing on the overall development of children from low-income families through a broad range of activities such as tutoring, enrichment, soft skills and life skills workshops, outings and group work.

4) Empowering Mums – A series of transformative workshops dedicated to helping back-to-work mothers from low-income families gain the skills, support and confidence they need to be successfully employed.

5) English Club – The Empowering Mums: English Club features free English curriculum for low-income foreign mums of Singaporean families. Its objective is to help the mums gain control of foundational English skills for daily conversations, with the theme centering around the neighbourhood in a housing estate. Basic, intermediate and advanced levels of learning are available to meet mums’ individual needs and prepare them at the international testing standard.

6) Workz-On-Wheels (WOW) – Impacts craft and life skills to build the confidence and self-esteem of children and youths, aged between five to 16, who live in various children’s and girl’s homes.

7) YWCA House – A hostel catering for girls between 18 -25 years old who do not have a conducive home environment to return to after leaving children’s or girls’ homes. This hostel will serve as a platform to practise independence before they step out into the society.

The Association may work with other organisations and agencies to fulfill her mission.
