Our Work
For the last 50 years, the Singapore Women's Association had been rendering voluntary services with the aim of helping to make Singapore a peaceful, happy and prosperous home for Singaporeans. They had initiated several programmes and undertaken many projects to achieve the aim of creating a better quality of life for everyone.
Some of them are:
- Ensuring better living for slum and kampong dwellers through proper use of the modern amenities and facilities provided by the Housing Development Board.
- Promoting understanding, tolerance and co- operation among the various races in Singapore.
- Encouraging the wise choice of some of the Asian values and customs for retention, and the selective adoption of modern, western cultures.
- Promoting closer relationships among members of the family.
- Assisting the authorities to reduce crime, delinquency and supporting community projects.
- Rendering services to the various sectors of the community like the senior citizens, youth, women and the handicapped, the sick and underprivileged.
- Fostering good international relations especially among women.
