reaching out

Cultural Compass charity projects are funded by contributions given at the end of the tour.

100% of the contributions are used directly in charity project.

There are NO admin or manpower overheads.

To avoid duplication of services and to concentrate on core activities, Cultural Compass works with existing charities or volunteer organizations. All partner organizations reach out to society regardless of race or religion and embrace the notion of cultural diversity.

Biscuit Project

The funds are used to purchase biscuits for distribution to the needy in Singapore. The biscuits are purchased directly from manufacturer at discounted prices and distributed through Shan You Counseling Center's Food Rations Service. Biscuits are chosen because it is an item in the current food pack and the value of the product suits the available budget. We feel it is important to ensure that whichever item we contribute, we must deliver enough quantities so that it is available to everyone in the program.

Biscuit Project Partner

They also have a Food Rations Service reaching out to 200 low income families located all over Singapore and is open to all REGARDLESS OF RACE or RELIGION.
