Safeguarding Our Seniors
Since 1988, the Singapore VisionCare Programme has screened over 36,000 seniors for preventable vision conditions. Every year, we reach more than 1,000 elderly residents through community screenings conducted in partnership with the Lions Club of Singapore. Early detection of conditions like cataracts and glaucoma has helped preserve the sight and independence of thousands of seniors across Singapore.
Our Lunar New Year Luncheon, now in its 45th year, brings together over 300 seniors annually for a day of festive celebration and community connection. Through our partnership with Ren Ci Community Hospital, we extend care and support to seniors through regular visits and meaningful activities.
Empowering Women and Families
Through partnerships with organisations like Symrise and shelters including Star Shelter, AFC Temporary Refuge, and Casa Raudha, SWA supports vulnerable women and families on their journey toward stability and self-sufficiency. Project Taking Charge, running since 2008, focuses on workforce integration and economic rehabilitation, helping women rebuild their lives and regain independence.
Our annual year-end celebrations bring joy to shelter residents and their children, creating moments of happiness and connection during the festive season. These gatherings remind families that they are not alone and that the community stands with them.
The Miss Singapore Pageant International (MSPI) develops young women into community leaders through structured mentorship and hands-on volunteer work. Participants contribute directly to SWA's programmes, emerging as confident advocates for social causes while gaining valuable leadership experience.
The charity dinner is also the finale for the Miss Singapore Pageant International. The young ladies are transformed from months of gruelling training and charity work. We unveil them at this purposeful and meaningful event.
Community Wellness
Our Laughter Yoga programme reaches over 10,000 participants annually across Singapore. This free, volunteer-led initiative promotes mental and physical wellness through therapeutic laughter exercises. Sessions are conducted at community centres, senior activity centres, and corporate wellness events, spreading joy and building resilience across all age groups.
Do join us on this journey by attending our fundraising charity dinner or being a corporate sponsor. Every bit counts as we give back to society what we have gained from it.
