Donor Speaks
“The Tan Chin Tuan Foundation supports MWS’ mission of enriching the quality of life for the disadvantaged and distressed. MWS’ work with low-income families resonates deeply with our philosophy of working with the community to benefit the vulnerable and needy. We are heartened to support the MWS Family Development Programme, a debt clearance and savings matching initiative, empowering families to overcome their struggles and achieve financial security.”

“We have been supporting MWS as regular donors for many years as we believe in their mission to empower people. As parents, we recognise the value of a holistic education that goes beyond academics, and felt that bringing back activities that were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic would be good for the children. We worked with MWS Christalite Student Care Centre to organise a robotics workshop during the school holidays and a Children’s Day party. We are happy to be able to contribute to the children’s learning journey and play a part in developing their potential.”

“MWS serves the disadvantaged and distressed elderly and that resonates with me as I can empathise with how difficult and crippling it can be for a lonely and elderly person who is without help. Supporting MWS and giving to its cause is how I can contribute to society using what God has blessed me with. As Methodist founder John Wesley famously said, ‘Earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can’, I believe my giving to MWS will impact lives and accomplish the perfect will and purpose of God. To God be the glory.”
