Our story
Mission
Family units form the backbone of society and we believe in empowering them to become the strong pillars through our financial, social and emotional support.
Our goal is to equip each member from young aspiring couples to well-experienced grandparents with practical life-skills and knowledge.
For this reason, our works centre on providing family life education; financial assistance; befriending and support services, counselling and case management. We also run an active ageing centre and a few snack and thrift shops in the community to cater to various groups of people from all walks of life.
