HOPE Worldwide (Singapore)-
Bringing HOPE to a hurting world

Posted : 23 December 2005

The poor and needy have always been on the hearts of the members of the Central Christian Church.

Originally started by the Central Christian Church (CCC) as its benevolent arm, HOPE worldwide (Singapore) - a faith-based charity - was registered with the Registrar of Societies (ROS 225/98 WEL) in 1998 and became the adopted charity of Central Christian Church (CCC).  Besides donating regularly to HOPE worldwide (Singapore) and HOPE worldwide (Indonesia) in cash and in kind, CCC has also been a great source of support to HOPE worldwide (SIngapore) in providing a dedicated pool of volunteers.

Over the last few years, the members of the Central Christian Church have enjoyed volunteering along with HOPE worldwide (Singapore) in helping to raise funds for organizations like the National Kidney Foundation of Singapore and for ComChest, the fund-raising arm of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). As a result, the Central Christian Church became one of the recipients of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) Award presented by ComChest's patron His Excellency S.R. Nathan, President of the Republic of Singapore, for their volunteer efforts in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004.

HOPE worldwide (Singapore) is a faith-based charity founded in Singapore in 1998. The mission of HOPE worldwide (Singapore) is to bring hope to a hurting world in five core areas: Education, Health, Children, Seniors and Volunteerism. This is achieved through individual programmes and partnerships with several Singapore Government Agencies and individual companies.
