CSG Care Fund Program – Update
CSG Care Fund Program
Workforce retrenchment in Singapore is expected to hit record numbers as a result of economic disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. The theme for this year’s National Day, “Together, A Stronger Singapore”, is something close to our hearts. Following the call of the nation for all Singaporeans to play our part to push forward in spite of the difficulties and crises, we want to lend a helping hand to those around us.
Understandably, unemployment in the family can lead to financial and emotional stress that may have a ripple effect on the children. During this difficult period, we hope to provide some support to these families and minimize the impact on the children as much as possible.
As part of our initiative to give back, we’re pleased to share with you our ‘CSG Care Fund’ program. This program aims to help children/youth whose parents are unemployed or retrenched during this pandemic. Through this program, we will provide a cash pay-out of up to S$750 per child from Aug 2020 – Dec 2020. Apart from the cash relief, we will also be offering free extracurricular courses to help them build new skills and qualifications that will allow them to pursue learning or career opportunities in the future.
Cash Allowance Tier
Primary: S$50/month | Secondary: S$100/month | Tertiary: S$150/month
Future Forward Educational Program – Extracurricular Courses
Youths of the CSG Care Fund Program will be given a full course fee waiver for the Future Forward Program to encourage them to continuously build new skills and qualifications that will allow them to pursue learning or career opportunities in the future.
