In 2024, TheWriteChance partnered with World Vision Singapore to plan for a YEP trip to Cambodia, supported by Halogen Singapore. There, TWC would bring reading, writing, and conversational programmes to children and youth from vulnerable backgrounds. After much preparation, a TWC team of 23 youths (aged 17-19) embarked on the YEP trip in January 2025. 

On 7 Dec 2024, 56 youths attended World Vision Singapore’s ninth edition of the annual Youth For Change Conference, held this year at Singapore Institute of Management. The theme of this year’s edition, “The Unequal Plate”, aimed to educate young people on the global hunger crisis and how various local and international interventions that are seeking to support and mitigate the imbalance of food access, through the sharing of World Vision’s interventions and success stories. 

Many of them might not have the chance to realise how beautiful their smiles are. I genuinely wished these pictures could remind them of the support, love and friendship they had from us if they ever come across any difficult times in future. This was my first mission trip but it would not be my last.

For millions of women and girls, water isn’t just about thirst – it’s about time, opportunity, and dignity. Every day, women and children spend 125 million hours collecting water.

Our trip was both enlightening and a stark reminder that the world was not created equal. We saw first-hand how World Vision’s Area Programme Vision of holistic transformation was put into action. Not only was there a programme to provide access to education to children, there were also separate initiatives on child protection, micro-financing, health and food security, provision of clean water, and environmental protection. The multi-faceted approach clearly lifted the lives of the community, and we were privileged to see it in motion.

In November 2024, a group of 24 students and 4 teachers from Temasek Junior College partnered with World Vision and travelled to Da Nang, Vietnam with their mission in mind: To serve with the heart, for the hearts.  

Child marriage, no education, and poor healthcare hold girls back. At World Vision, we believe education is the superpower to unlock their dreams.

World Vision Singapore has launched a public fundraising appeal today, pledging S$150,000 to support the most urgent needs of children and families impacted by the escalating conflict in Lebanon. World Vision has been working in Lebanon for over 45 years and will be adapting and scaling up our emergency response as the situation evolves, targeting areas of greatest need and maintaining a focus on children. We are providing emergency essentials including food, clean water, hygiene kits, baby kits, mattresses, and winter clothes, as well as creating safe spaces to provide psychosocial support to traumatized children.
