HEN (Helping and Empowering our Neighbours) was set up in March 2018 as a welfare organisation wholly run by volunteers who share the same drive and passion to help the underprivileged communities in Singapore to rise above their poverty.

We were officially registered as a society in Singapore under the Registry of Societies in Dec 2018 and have been registered as a charity in Singapore with the Charity Commissioners since March 2020.

Our Mission is to :

• Help low income families of single parent background in Singapore rise above their poverty with monetary assistance and
• Empower each and every member of the single parent family with life long skills

We would like to Transform Tomorrow Together Today!

Follow us on FB and Instagram today!

There are more than 150,000 families in Singapore who earn less than $650 a month and they need our assistance.

Our donors and volunteers made it possible to continue helping these families throughout this year. To continue our important work in giving hope to the families, we seek your kind donations. It just takes $50 a month to buy food rations to help these families.

We have been featured in our national newspaper The Straits Times on 18th Dec 2019! What a great way for our efforts to get recognised.

Visit our Press Release page for more details!

We are currently assisting 50 single-parent families in different parts of Singapore with monthly NTUC vouchers worth $50. Our goal is to help a 100 families by year end and for that we would need your kind donation.
