HOPE Programmes with
Central Christian Church
HOPE worldwide (Singapore) has had
many years of partnership with the Central Christian Church and
has become its adopted charity. Besides donating regularly to HOPE
worldwide (Singapore) and HOPE worldwide (Indonesia) in cash and
in kind, the Central Christian Church has also been a great source
of support to HOPE worldwide (Singapore) in providing a dedicated
pool of volunteers. Below are brief descriptions of the programmes
being done in partnership with the Central Christian Church volunteers.

67 residents who are physically disabled, they receive nursing care,
