Welcome Message

Mr Seah Kian Peng

Speaker of Parliament
Advisor, Marine Parade-Braddell Heights

I am honoured to attend the Singapore Women's Association's (SWA) Annual Charity Dinner. As the Guest of Honour for several years now, I am delighted to show my support and utmost appreciation of the wonderful work that they do.

For over 70 years, SWA has held a special place in our community and, I am sure, in many of our hearts. Your steadfast commitment to uplifting women, children and seniors have made, and continues to make, a meaningful difference in countless lives.

As we mark SG60 this year, let us remember that a compassionate society can only be built when people not only care, but care enough to step forward. Thank you to SWA's board, volunteers, and generous supporters for all that you do. Together, we will hold steady the beacon of hope to light up the lives of all who are in need.

President's Message

Ms Lee Li Hua

President
Singapore Women's Association

Dear Guests,

Welcome to the SWA 48th Charity Gala Dinner!

Tonight, we come together with a shared vision of community care, supporting seniors, empowering women, and inspiring work and children from shelters. As Maya Angelou wisely said, "I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." This sentiment reflects the strength and resilience we aim to cultivate in our community.

By prioritizing community care, we build a foundation of support for everyone. Supporting our seniors ensures their voices are valued and their contributions acknowledged. Empowering women strengthens families and fosters growth, while inspiring children from shelters lights the path toward a hopeful future.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our generous sponsors and dedicated volunteers. Your support truly makes a difference in the lives of those we serve. Together, we are not just raising funds; we are fostering a movement of compassion and change.

Thank you for joining us in this important cause. Together, let's continue to uplift one another and make a lasting impact.

Ms Lee Li Hua
