How it works
A child spends a big part of his/her time in school, and teachers often take a keen interest in the well-being of their students. Hence, schools are the most appropriate agencies to make recommendations to Compassion Fund on behalf of their students in crisis. Principals, teachers and school counsellors are empowered and entrusted to make sound assessments of their students’ needs. Compassion Fund will do its own assessment through home visits as well.
Teachers and principals can apply on behalf of:
- Students who are Singaporeans or Permanent Residents; and
- Students in Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary levels in mainstream schools; and
- Students or family members who are in any of the following crises:
a) Death of a breadwinner
b) Accidents
c) Major illnesses
Guidelines
- Applications may be made by all institutions on behalf of their needy students.
- Needy students from SAM schools (Schools that have participated in Share-A-Meal) will be given priority when allocating funds.
- Needy students from Non-SAM Schools would be considered on a case by case basis and are subjected to the availability of funds
