ADRF SINGAPORE HISTORY

Welcome to Africa-Asia Development Relief Fund  ADRF Singapore!

​

OUR MISSION

To be a donor country to help disadvantaged children and youths in Singapore and other South East Asian countries, as well as in Asia and Africa.


OUR HISTORY

​

​Formed as an independent associate of ADRF International, ADRF Singapore started when a young, lean and hungry lady, an Accountancy Graduate from University of Mongolia  asked for donation at a Chinatown Food Centre, Singapore in March 2014.

She met Mr. Alex Tan and his friends who were having lunch there. She approached them for some donation and they were impressed by her determination and sincerity as she returned with a receipt, after disappearing a few minutes with the money given to her. They decided to invite her to their lunch and let them know more about ADRF.

From then on, Mr Alex Tan has been helping the ADRF nations and established ADRF Singapore privately and conducting activities with the proper protocol of the Singapore Government.

In the remote mountains of Laos, a group of children faced harsh winters, often shivering in the cold with empty stomachs. Their school, nestled among the hills, was a simple wooden structure, but it held the promise of a better future. Many of these children had to walk for hours just to reach it, eager to learn despite the biting chill.

ADRF Laos stepped in to support this mountain school, providing warm meals and essential supplies to help the children thrive. With the backing of ADRF Singapore, they organized fundraising efforts to gather donations, aiming to improve the school's facilities and offer free education.

Thanks to these generous contributions, the children received warm clothing, nutritious meals, and new learning materials. Each donation not only brightened their days but also ignited hope for a brighter tomorrow. Together, ADRF Laos and Singapore are creating pathways out of poverty for these resilient children, helping them dream bigger than their circumstances.

In the mountainous regions of Laos, poor children struggle with limited access to clean water, warm clothing, and sufficient food. ADRF Laos, supported by ADRF Singapore, provides vital assistance by delivering clean water solutions, nutritious meals, and warm clothing.These efforts not only meet immediate needs but also empower children to pursue their education and foster hope for a better future.

ADRF Singapore Support to ADRF Philippines Donation Report:

​

“ The Walk to Health” was organised by ADRF Philippines and ADRF Singapore at Sitio Cabiao Elementary School. Today we’re able to visit Sitio Cabiao despite a looming typhoon. We’re so grateful to Sir Ponciano Valderama the school head, together with his faculty and staff for their warm welcome to ADRF staff. We want to thank our kind and generous sponsors who are always donating to the children needs. Your generosity helps the children in their daily living and  motivates them to do well in school with the hope that education is the key to success. Today we gave them essentials to help them protect themselves from COVID-19 that is still continuing to spread here in the Philippines. We are also concerned with their health that’s why we gave them slippers to wear when they’re going to school and water tumblers to hydrate themselves. With this donation drive of ADRF we are focusing on the proper hygiene and cleanliness of the children. We always believe in this quotation “Health is Wealth” so we need to take care of our body.

In Cambodia, many children face poverty, limiting their access to basic needs like nutritious meals and quality education. Supporting organizations like ADRF Singapore can help provide essential meals and free education, ensuring these children have the resources to thrive. This not only addresses immediate needs but also instills important moral lessons in students about compassion, responsibility, and the value of giving back. By donating, we can ultimately empower these children to break the cycle of poverty and foster a brighter future.

After a five-year delay due to COVID-19, an earthquake, and a tsunami in Tanjung Lesung, ADRF Singapore successfully launched New Hope Classes (NHC) at Darma Cahaya Purnama village school in October this year. Located four hours from Jakarta, the school now offers daily NHC sessions to 150 students. This initiative aims to improve education for Indonesian children who have faced immense challenges. The program marks a significant step forward for the community after years of setbacks.

In the mountains of Luang Prabang, Laos, December brings cold temperatures, with the mercury dropping to an average of 14°C and peaking at just 26°C during the day. For many children living in this region, warmth isn't a given—especially for those from poor families. One in five people here lives in poverty, and for children, the challenges are even greater. Imagine being a child born deaf in a poor Laotian family—often hidden away, isolated from society, or sent to work in the fields instead of going to school.

​

But there's hope. With your support, ADRF Laos is working to provide these children with more than just warmth—they’re giving them a chance at education, a future, and a life outside the cycle of poverty.

 

Through donations, we can provide much-needed winter clothing and resources to ensure these children stay warm and have access to the education they deserve.

IMG_7431.JPG

Let’s join hands to make a difference in their lives. Your donation can keep them warm this winter and help break the cycle of poverty through education. Support ADRF Laos today and be a part of their future.

WHERE WE SERVE

ADRF PHILIPPINES Umbrella and Raincoat Project 

As the rainy season is now approaching, we aim to give our HOPE class students raincoats and umbrellas that they can use during the rainy days.

Due to poverty in the countryside, our students don't have protection against rain whenever they go outside of their house or help their parents on the farm.

Through the help of ADRF, we are able to provide some protection for them against this rain.

Big thanks to our generous sponsor from ADRF Singapore who donated this wonderful blessing to our

HOPE class students.

They can now be protected and free from cold and wet during this rainy season.
