About Campaign
ends 27 Jan 2023, 11:59 PMThis year, the Young Leaders chosen beneficiary is SCWO (Singapore Council of Women's Organisations) Star Shelter, with proceeds from the Global 5k Run supporting a renovation project at the shelter.
Star Shelter is a safe temporary refuge for female and child-survivors of domestic violence, regardless of race, language, creed or religion. Victims are able to heal from the trauma of abuse and are empowered to rebuild their lives free from violence. The shelter serves about 120 women and their children annually (based on pre-COVID statistics).
The Star Shelter takes a holistic approach in helping all residents, through provision of basic needs such as safe accommodation, clothing and food; case management to solve their practical issues and challenges; emotional support and life coaching through counselling and therapeutic programmes. Financial aid is also provided to the residents as well as a variety of educational and recreational activities.
Monies donated will go towards an expansion project that allows Star Shelter to keep close to the original maximum capacity of 30 residents and to better meet the growing demand for shelter space as a result of the Covid pandemic.
