Sparklers Ministries International is founded by Sylvia Chen, a Singaporean missionary who is passionate about empowering children to realise their fullest potentials.
"When you educate children and believe in them, you empower these kids to
pursue and fulfill their dreams. Every child should live in a proper home and receive good education. Children should not be forced into child labour or other forms of exploitations or abuse (physical/emotional/substance abuse/neglect). " - Sylvia Chen

Sparklers Ministries Nepal
Since her teens, Sylvia Chen has a great burden for Nepal. She was greatly sadden by the 25 April 2015 7.8 mag earthquake that struck the nation. She thank God that after almost 20 years of waiting, she has an opportunity to go to the top of the world for a mission trip in Nov 2015. She was given opportunities to minister in a Nepali church, a cell group and an old folks home. She also visited 3 orphanages and had opportunity to see the ongoing rebuilding works in the villages on a mountain. She is also thankful for being able to do medical missions with a team of Singaporean and Nepalese doctors in a school. However, she is also sadden to see many needs in this country. Living in temporary shelters, the people are still experiencing aftershocks at 5.4 mag and many suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder even after more than 1.5 years. Sylvia is in close contact with her Nepalese friends and desires to do more for Nepal with this opened door.
