5 Organisations Supporting Women Causes in Singapore You Can Volunteer With

Ever wonder how you can play your part in uplifting disadvantaged women in our society?


Here are five social organisations in Singapore helping women and children that you should consider supporting.

1. Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO)

The Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO) was established in 1980 as the national coordinating body of women’s organisations in Singapore. SCWO has more than 60 member organisations, which represent over 600,000 women, and it serves to unite them to work toward ideals of “Equal Space, Equal Voice and Equal Worth” through initiatives and services like the Star Shelter, which aims to provide a safe temporary refuge for women and their children who are victims of family violence regardless of race, language, creed or religion. Their volunteers run the New2U thrift shop, which sells pre-loved clothing, accessories, household items and etc. All goods are donated and proceeds from the store go towards the Star Shelter and various SCWO initiatives.


YWLC partners actively with the Star Shelter to run meaningful recreational and life skills workshops or connect beneficiaries with corporate sponsorships – drop us an email at impact@ywlc.org.sg to find out how you can support them!
