By fostering a conducive environment, we collectively empower children to thrive academically, flourish emotionally, and chase their dreams with conviction and ambition.

Children of families living in public rental housing communities, some of whom are second or third generation occupants of public rental homes, grow up in more challenging environments than their peers at school and inherit some of the challenges their parents face.
 
Without additional support, including help for their care and holistic development, they risk becoming entrenched in a cycle of inter-generational poverty.
 
We are delighted to be embarking on a meaningful partnership with =DREAMS (Singapore) to set up a first-of-its-kind boarding facility to provide wrap-around after-school support for these children so that they have an equal opportunity to dream big and realise their aspirations. 

=DREAMS is a first-of-its kind secular, co-ed weekday residential model that provides after-school education and holistic support. Similar to boarding schools attended by students from families with means, =DREAMS aspires to create a child-centric system of care that empowers promising children from rental flat communities to dream of a future where they are not limited by family circumstances.
 
Under this initiative, Secondary 1 and 2 students residing in a HDB Rental Flat will be supported for up to 6 years, to Pre-tertiary level. A home-away-from-home during the school days, youth can look forward to after-school academic and holistic support at the =DREAMS campus. This includes differentiated, age-appropriate programmes ranging from coding classes, eco-citizenship cultivation lessons, to leadership and critical-thinking training, incorporated into their term schedules or offered during breaks.
 
Recognising that it takes a village to raise a child, =DREAMS adopts an inclusive approach towards creating sustainable support through collaborating with different stakeholders such as parents, schools and community partners.
