MWS Girls’ Residence

WHAT WE DO

MWS Girls’ Residence provides the residents with a safe and conducive environment for emotional, social, and psychological development. We aim to create transformation and positive changes in their behaviour through a holistic and therapeutic framework.

We rehabilitate young females, aged between 15 and 21 years old. They may be mandated by the Court to serve out their probation in a residential facility, referred by the Ministry of Social and Family Development or other Social Service Organisations.

Our services:

Interventions are structured around the Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) framework.

Each resident is partnered with a staff member who will journey with them through their stay, and for 6 months after graduating
Each resident is also paired with a female mentor to guide and nurture them as they work through their challenges
The desired outcomes for each girl are emotional and psychological healing, equipping them with effective conflict resolution and better decision making skills

Compassionate and Motivational Environment

We provide them with a safe environment where positive conduct is affirmed, a fair disciplinary system is in place, and consistent nurturing is provided
