Singtel Touching Lives Fund

 

Launched in 2002, the Singtel Touching Lives Fund (STLF) is Singtel’s flagship corporate philanthropy programme to help the less privileged children and young people in Singapore, in particular those with special needs – by equipping them with the skills needed to lead independent and meaningful lives.

Since its inception, the STLF has raised over S$57million for charities under the auspices of the National Council of Social Service. 

Besides funding schools with critical programmes for children with special needs, STLF flagship initiatives include the Singtel Carnival and Singtel Charity Golf. The Carnival is a mega event providing a day of fun, food and games for students with special needs. It is also a meaningful day of volunteerism for some 2,000 staff volunteers from Singtel and the Singapore Business Network on DisAbility (SBNoD), a community of businesses in Singapore that advocates inclusion for persons with disabilities, who host and chaperone the students. Meanwhile, Singtel Charity Golf is an annual fundraising golf event which features a dinner segment where the student beneficiaries are able to showcase the skills from their F&B training and their talent in performing.

Singtel pays for the fundraising costs of these activities so that every dollar raised goes to the beneficiaries and also matches employee contributions to STLF dollar for dollar.

  • Supporting Special Education Schools

    The STLF funds six beneficiary special education (SPED) schools, APSN Chaoyang School, APSN Tanglin School, APSN Delta Senior School, Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore School, Eden School and MINDS Lee Kong Chian Gardens School. Through the SPED schools, which offer students with disabilities a curriculum customised to their abilities and needs, the STLF is able to contribute towards helping those with conditions ranging from intellectual disability to cerebral palsy maximise their potential and enhance their prospects for integration into society. 

    "Having supported special education schools since 2002, we are heartened to see the progress made in empowering children with special needs with the education and the skills needed to contribute actively to society. We are humbled and happy that we can do our part to help these children fulfil their potential and lead purposeful lives."

    Yuen Kuan Moon,
    Group CEO, Singtel

    Beyond education, Singtel complements the SPED Schools’ efforts with support that extends to preparing the students for the transition to the workforce. The Singtel Enabling Innovation Centre provides them with contact centre skills and customised ICT training through assistive technologies to enhance employment opportunities. Singtel partners SG Enable in internship and mentorship programmes, placing students in business units for them to gain work experience and mentoring from staff and business leaders.
