We watch with concern as northern Thailand gets blanketed by hazardous air pollution. The haze has also affected Mae Hong Son province, where thousands of Karenni refugees live in two camps along the Thai-Myanmar border. Read about our work among the Karenni in the second link below.

We recently organised RSG’s first quarterly update to brief our donors, volunteers, and new friends on the humanitarian responses we had launched, and upcoming projects.

Thanks to the good folks at room2f, we had a very nice and cosy space to use for the session. Studio2f is their newest event space. Check it out at https://www.room2f.sg/studio2f

Where does your drinking water come from? For Singaporeans 🇸🇬, we could drink water straight from the tap. For this Sri Lankan 🇱🇰family that was resettled away from the high-risk area they originally lived in, water had to be manually carried several times each day from a nearby stream, and stored in the blue barrel seen here. This water, however, may not be safe for drinking yet.

What does fruitfulness in a community look like? How could we help others live better lives?

[From Singapore With ❤️]
On 16 December 2025, RSG handed over a batch of 289 household water filters to Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) for distribution to families on the island province of Catanduanes who were affected by Typhoon Fung-wong (Uwan).

The handover ceremony was graced by Manny Pangilinan (Chairman of PDRF, PLDT, Metro Pacific and First Pacific in Hong Kong), Rene “Butch” Meily (President of PDRF), and Veronica Gabaldon (Executive Director of PDRF).

PDRF is the Philippines’ major private sector vehicle and coordinator for disaster resilience. It is an alliance of businesses dedicated to building the disaster management capabilities of the private sector in the country, working on all areas: prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation and recovery.

We are pleased and honoured to partner with PDRF, and we pray for God’s mercy on all Filipinos, that He would quicken the end of typhoon season before Christmas.

[CALL TO ACTION - Cyclone Ditwah]
👉 Sponsorship of Water Filters

RSG is looking for sponsors for community water filters to be delivered to Sri Lanka to provide clean water for victims of Cyclone Ditwah, which flooded many parts of the South Asian country, caused massive landslides, killed over 600, and affected 2 million people. We will partner Asia Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management Sri Lanka in the deployment of the water filters, which will be delivered with the support of Airlink.
