Ray of Hope’s Education Giving Circle (EGC) was created through a seed donation of $15,660 by Janet Ng Lim Seong’s family to carry on her life’s mission of supporting children and youth on their academic journey. 

The EGC is a commitment to building and inspiring a community to support students from low-income families living in Singapore. Singaporean and non-Singaporean students are eligible, and must be nominated by their social worker or school welfare officer. The Fund aims to alleviate financial burdens so that students can concentrate on their studies better. This includes support for children who may require intervention programmes. 

What is a Giving Circle?

A Giving Circle (GC) is a pooled fund created to meet the needs of a specific group of people or for a specific need. When an individual campaign falls short of its crowdfunding goal, funds from the relevant Giving Circle are used to support the campaign. To ensure fairness, the specific amount is determined by Ray of Hope’s internal policies for each Giving Circle.

How can you help?

The GC is your opportunity to be part of a cause you deeply care for. By donating any amount, you help provide children and youth the resources they need to pursue their educational goals and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.

As a donor, you will also get updates on how Ray of Hope utilised the funds in the EGC and how your contributions have helped. You may also receive an invite to special events with the possibility of meeting some of the clients you have supported. 

A message from Ray of Hope:

Rest assured, your generosity makes an impact where it matters most. 100% of all donations directly benefit our clients whose eligibility has been confirmed through stringent verification processes.
