About Campaign

Hope Initiative Alliance (HIA) will be launching The Alphabet Project (TAP), a new movement to provide literacy programmes for young children aged 7 to 12 from underprivileged families. TAP's programmes include reading rooms, literacy workshops (such as storytelling and story writing) and culminating into an annual national story writing/telling competition for children. Our goal is to empower at least 1,000 children from underprivileged families island wide and provide them with a platform to build confidence, foster connections with other children, and integrate them with the society.

Funds raised will be used to acquire items and facilities that would serve as holistic learning tools and conducive learning environments to support their growth and development. The money raised will also go into purchasing prizes to encourage and reward children, hiring speakers or professional trainers who will teach children various reading and writing techniques, illustration and publishing the children's works, transportation, logistics, venues and meals.

Our first project is the ComLink Read.Write.Tell. (RWT) initiative in partnership with Ministry of Social and Family Development's (MSF) Social Service Office (SSO) @ Bedok and other partners. Please visit our volunteer recruitment campaign page @ https://www.giving.sg/volunteer-event?event_activity_id=76579903 for more information about the RWT initiative.
