Initiative helps ComLink+ families get sponsors for upskilling, tuition

Soft-launched in 2022, the Gift-A-Family initiative has already provided 100 course sponsorships to ComLink+ families in Jurong West. ComLink+ families are lower-income families with children living in rental HDB flats.

It was co-developed by the Social Service Office @ Boon Lay and Taman Jurong, Boon Lay Constituency Office, Boon Lay Grassroots Organisations and SG Cares Volunteer Centre @ Boon Lay.

Gift-A-Family was officially launched on Dec 1 at Boon Lay Community Club, and aims to provide these families in Jurong West with the opportunities and resources necessary to overcome their challenges and meet their aspirations.
