Transforming Lives for Families in Need, Together
Did you know that about 10,000* lower-income families in Singapore face financial and social challenges?
Empower lower-income families and their children with life-changing opportunities.
A teenager who skips school in order to work and support her struggling family may be making a sacrifice that could limit her future opportunities.
Addressing the family’s debt alone isn’t enough; if we hope to break the cycle, she must have the chance to continue her education and build a better life.
The Collective for a Stronger Society comprises 17 specially curated programmes that offer holistic, long-term support to lower-income families, enabling them to overcome barriers and achieve lasting change.

Programmes to empower families to thrive
“KeyStart’s assistance has been invaluable to us. Without it, the stress would have been overwhelming. Now, we finally have a place to come home to and unwind. It’s peaceful. The children can study and prepare their meals comfortably. They finally have a place to call their own.”

Many lower-income families in Singapore face financial instability, making it harder to build a better future.
While Singapore has made progress in tackling social issues, many lower-income families are still on the path to stability. Through targeted programmes, we equip them with the tools, opportunities, and networks to build a stronger future.
Together, we can forge a stronger, more inclusive society where every family has the opportunity to thrive.
