Levelling the playing field for our future generation

Starting as a small initiative in 2017 to help families in need, we ran weekly non-academic classes for underprivileged kids in the community. Bringing typically inaccessible opportunities beyond school closer to the heartlands grew our reach to underprivileged children islandwide to where we are today.

The Poverty Cycle
No one chooses the
family or environment that they are born into

People lacking the resources, exposure, and a conducive environment from a very young lack the confidence, skills and relationships to capitalise on opportunities in life.

They find it much harder to climb the social ladder

When they try to acquire these skills and networks later in life,it's much more difficult for them to succeed.

 

This perpetuates the vicious poverty cycle.

"YOU'RE SAFE HERE,
THESE ARMS WON'T
LET YOU BREAK"


We disrupt this cycle by creating access to affordable privileges in life, we continuously endeavour new ways to combat obscene inequality and equalise opportunities among the social classes.
