YWCA of Singapore 3.8

The YWCA of Singapore is the oldest women’s organisation in Singapore. Founded in 1875, the YWCA has always been committed to meeting the needs of our society through her active involvement in community services. The mission of the Association is to serve the Community regardless of race, belief or religion, with love and compassion and provide quality programmes, facilities and services to:-

1. Advance the development of women and girls in body, mind and spirit; and
2. Benefit the Community
The Association may work with other organisations and agencies to fulfill her mission.

The YWCA is not a member of Community Chest and does not receive any funding from it. Profit generated from its social enterprise arms consisting of its childcare services and accommodation facilities at the Fort Canning Lodge are channeled back into the organisation to fund its community projects and services. In addition, generous donations from corporate and individual donors also help to sustain, improve and expand the work of the YWCA.
