What We Do - CHILDREN'S WISHING WELL
Children’s Wishing Well (CWW) is a registered charity and IPC founded in 2002. We have won the Charity Transparency Awards accorded by MCCY from 2019 to 2023. We focus on supporting children and youth from low-income families, mainly through educational programmes and financial assistance. We reach out to over 1,000 beneficiaries each year via 2 full-service centres, 8 community sites, and collaborations with other charitable organisations. We depend solely on donations from private organisations and members of public to fund our services, while keeping all our programmes and services 100% free of charge for the children and families. We believe that by providing the children with educational support and more equal opportunities, they will be able to maximise their potential and get out of the poverty trap.

What We Do

 Our services support disadvantaged children’s educational and daily living needs.

We provide a broad range of services to more than 1,000 beneficiaries each year. Our services support their current educational and daily living needs, and equip them with skills for their future, so as to build a strong foundation for them to contribute as useful members of society, and escape the poverty trap.

 

Through our signature Children Enrichment Programme, children are able to receive academic support, enjoy hot lunch lunches at our centre, explore non-academic interests, pick up various life skills, explore career options and so on. They also receive socio-emotional support through counselling sessions that provide them a safe space to express themselves and learn coping skills.

 

We also believe in empowering our children and youth, focusing on “what’s strong rather than what’s wrong”. Based on this philosophy, our Reach For The Stars programme  provides the opportunity for selected students to attend external lessons to further their interests in non-academic areas such as dance, art, music or sports. This is because we recognise that every child has their own strengths which may not always be academic. We hope that through this programme they will get to reach their greatest potential.

 

In line with empowering children, our FRESH programme provides them the opportunity to attend grocery shopping trips where they get to pick out items that they really need while learning about nutrition and managing a budget.

 

We work in close collaboration with Primary, Secondary, and Post-Secondary schools island-wide, other charity organisations, government agencies, and corporates, so as to ensure that our programmes remain relevant and meaningful to the children.
