by St. John's Home For Elderly Persons

/A BIG THANK YOU to all donors who enabled us to hit our targeted $100K! To complete the project, we still need $5 million more. Do kindly continue to spread the word and support./ We are a team of eight residents, aged 66 to 90, from St. John's Home For Elderly Persons which is located at 69 Wan Tho Ave. We took up the challenge of helping our Home raise $100,000, as part of the funds to build our new Home. Though not savvy in digital media, we shot this video entirely on our own using mobile phone! Please take 3 minutes to check out the video and support our effort to raise funds for our new Home by donating generously. Our Home needs to raise about a total of another $5 Million for our new building project! (St John's Home for Elderly Persons has occupied 69 Wan Tho Avenue since the beginning. The lease on the land expired on 31 Dec 2015. We are very grateful to be able to secure a fresh 30-year lease beginning on 1 January 2016 for 3,300sqm, a part of the 12,000sqm of land we have long occupied. Thanks to the support of many well wishers, we are on our way to building a new Home to care for existing and new residents. We will have the Groundbreaking Ceremony on 1 Sep 2018 and our new Home is slated to be ready by end 2020).

Save Lathapandi

by [email protected] for Save Our Street Dogs

For the last 4 years, SOSD has been looking after the welfare of the community dogs in Pulau Ubin, frequently needing to evacuate ill, injured or unsterilized dogs to seek treatment and such. Last weekend, we got a call from Lathapandi's caregiver on the island. It seems that she might have gotten snagged while having a romp in the forest, and the wound has gotten too large by the time anyone managed to get to her. We managed to gather volunteers to help evacuate her the next day, and she's now safe at the vet. Lathapandi needed to undergo surgery to clean out her wound thoroughly, and some stitches to expedite recovery of the wound. The initial surgery already costs close to $1000, and including hospitalization and bandaging materials, we are expecting her bills to hit more than $2000 for her wound to heal completely. Do help us, so that we can continue to help the community dogs in Pulau Ubin! Thank you for your generosity!

Urgent Funds Required For Move To New Government-Built Facility In Sungei Tengah

by Animal Lovers League

In March 2018, we will be moving to a Government-built facility in Sungei Tengah called 'Animal Lodge'. The construction and setting in our new premises will be different from our present open concept shelter in that our dogs and cats will be in flatted-two-storey buildings in kennel enclosures. We require $351,000 to manage the costs of making this move. Firstly, we have a total of 10 units; each unit comprises of five kennels, four store rooms, flexi-areas and quarantine and prep rooms. We have to engage contractors to carry out fit-out works involving the building of steel enclosures, gates, fencing and partitions, along with the installation of piping and electrical appliances like ceiling & exhaust fans, lights, fittings and equipment. Expected cost is $20,000 - $25,000 per unit; and an estimated $250,000, if not more, in total. Secondly, $66,000 has to be paid to our present landlord for extended TOL (Temporary Occupancy Licence) from January to March 2018, before we move to the 'Animal Lodge' in March 2018. A 3-month deposit totalling $35,000 may be required by AVA. This will be confirmed in due course.

SNOW (Say No to the Oppression of Women)

by UN Women, Singapore Committee

The SNOW (Say No to the Oppression of Women) Gala is held annually in support of Singapore Committee for UN Women's work to empower women and girls in Singapore and the region. This year, part of the proceeds will go towards building safe spaces for women and girls in refugee camps across Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. In October 2016, violent conflict broke out in Rakhine State, Myanmar. A military offensive drove an estimated 680,000 refugees across the border into Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Over 80% of the refugees are women and children. Every woman and girl in Cox's Bazar is either a survivor, or has personally witnessed multiple incidences of sexual assault, rape, or murder of family members or neighbours. These women and girls have no safe havens and urgently need your help. Your support will help to establish 16 Multi-purpose Women's Centres (MPWCs) by March 2019 as safe spaces for women, reduce health and physical risks, support livelihood training and income-generating opportunities and strengthen gender-responsiveness of humanitarian action.
