SINGAPORE CAN SPEAK

Congratulations to Aslam Shah, an A-levels student at Victoria Junior College, who has won the month-long Singapore Can Speak competition and become ONE (SINGAPORE)'s first Youth Ambassador.

During the final round, four contestants were asked to make a persuasive speech about why an individual should care about eradicating poverty. Shah spoke about a recent visit to one-room flats at Redhill Close and an initiative to help a family there start a revenue-generating enterprise.

EVERY THREE SECONDS A CHILD DIES FROM EXTREME POVERTY

“Almost half the world’s population lives on less than two dollars a day, yet even this statistic fails to capture the humiliation, powerlessness and brutal hardship that is the daily lot of the world’s poor.”

Former UN Secretarial General Kofi Annan

“Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.”

Nelson Mandela

Ours is the first generation that can create abundance and eradicate poverty. ONE by ONE . . . by ONE, we can Make Poverty History

It’s Time We Do Something About It… Together! Join us!

 
 

 

Foreign workers - some swindled by unscrupulous employment agents, others injured on the job - are stuck in administrative limbo.

They live in squalid conditions, sleeping on footpaths exposed to the elements with no privacy or even a place to bathe.

Find out how ONE (SINGAPORE) and our partners are providing assistance.
