Thank you MSF Singapore for the mention! Kindlespark is honoured to partner with ComLink to provide free 1-to-1 online tuition to their beneficiaries.
Join us as a pro-bono tutor via the link below to help families like Madam Linda's! https://linktr.ee/Kindlespark
Alternatively, do check out other Comlink volunteering opportunities via volunteer.sg
Madam Linda and her son are among the beneficiaries of ComLink, which was launched in 2019 at four locations to better support families with children living in rental housing.
“There are many programmes being offered at ComLink. My son, who is in Primary 3, needs guidance in his studies and receives tuition there. It has been a smooth and happy experience for my son. He loves the fun and enjoys interacting with his teachers and friends. It is convenient as the programme is located just next to my block so I do not need to worry about travelling,” said Madam Linda.
Thanks to the partnership between government agencies, companies and community partners, Madam Linda's son participates in KidsExcel Singapore (an inclusive Sports and Academic development programme), a tuition programme with social enterprise Kindlespark, a reading programme with Bringing Love to Every Single Soul (BLESS) and MoneyWhizz SG (a financial literacy workshop for young children run by NUS students).
To help her with her health needs, Madam Linda also receives free essential medical treatment through SATA CommHealth’s Doctors-On-Wheels service.
Over the next two years, ComLink will be expanded nation-wide to 21 towns, benefitting 14,000 families. ComLink provides proactive outreach to these families, close case support depending on families’ needs and customised programmes and services through galvanizing the community.
