Make A Difference: Causes to Donate Your COVID-19 Solidarity Payout

4 May, 2020

The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has put life as we know it on standstill. During these difficult times, there are many people suffering from various causes, besides the obvious. It goes without saying that people on the lowest rungs of the ladder – the homeless, the orphans, the immigrant workers, the disabled, the old and the infirm – are the ones most affected by this situation. Governments around the world, along with charity organizations, are doing everything in their power to help the needy. But more help is always needed. The Singapore government had paid out solidarity payouts to all its citizens to help combat the effects of the lockdown to counter the outbreak of coronavirus. While many can still get by without this payout, there are also many more that are less privileged. If you are in a comfortable enough position during this worldwide pandemic, do consider to donate your solidarity payout to these struggling members of our society.

Here is a list of a few NGOs and other non-profit charitable organizations to which you can donate your solidarity payout online. Remember, even the least amount you donate will seem like the greatest of riches to some people.

1. Social Health Growth

Social Health Growth is a charity organization dedicated to the upliftment of low-income families, ex-offenders, youths-at-risk and ex-drug abusers among others. They have started a new campaign this year, to help underprivileged children, single mothers and special needs children. Donate your solidarity payout to this noble cause and lend a helping hand to this exceedingly vulnerable cross-section of our society.

2. KKH Health Fund

Every child deserves to survive and thrive, but many are riddled with serious illnesses that require long-term care. With the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the difficulties faced by these children have increased manifold. KKH Health Fund collects donations to fund their research and care of such children, bringing much-needed relief to their childhood.

3. HOME

  Every Singaporean above the age of 21 will be receiving a solidarity payment of $600 from the government, starting today. If you are willing and able, please consider making a donation to support the more vulnerable members of our community. It can make a huge difference. We have been running our fundraiser (➡️ tinyurl.com/HOMEcovid19 OR link in bio ⬅️) for the past few days, and have been moved by everyone’s generosity. The money raised will go into ensuring migrant workers receive shelter, food, health and safety supplies, and medical care. 💖💖💖 We would also like to take this opportunity to give a shoutout to some other NGOs who are doing great work! 1) Soap Cycling Singapore (@soapcyclingsingapore) collects, checks, sorts and recycles unused and/or lightly-used soaps for usability, and distributes them to vulnerable communities, including migrant workers. 2) SG Accident Help Centre provides wraparound care and support to injured Singaporeans and migrant workers, particularly if they are out-of-work. 3) Beyond Social Services (@sg.beyond) is dedicated to helping children and youth from less privileged backgrounds, through guidance, care and resources. They also do a great deal of research into poverty in Singapore. 💫 Their article on the impacts of Covid-10 on low-paid and precarious work (casual/contract/seasonal/part-time staff and members of the gig economy – e.g. Grab drivers, food delivery riders, those in cleaning services), caregiving & employment is available here: beyondresearch.sg/covid-19-impacts-on-employment-household-income.

A post shared by HOME Singapore (@home.migrants.sg) on Apr 14, 2020 at 6:58am PDT

The Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics (HOME) was established to improve the welfare and uphold the rights of migrant workers in Singapore. The foreign domestic workers have been one of the most affected communities during this COVID-19 pandemic. Along with fighting the disease, they are also suffering from a loss of income, and are unable to return to their families due to the lockdown. You can donate your solidarity payout to HOME’s campaign to help the migrant workers financially, helping them survive the pandemic.

4. Babes Pregnancy Crisis Support Ltd

Babes Pregnancy Crisis Support Ltd was established to provide some much-needed support to pregnant teenage mothers. The society proactively provides pregnant teens with information and community resources which will help them make the right decisions regarding their unborn children. The COVID-19 situation has drastically affected teenage mothers who have been laid off work, and who have the added responsibility of caring for very small children. Support Babes in providing a sense of normalcy in this difficult period and donate your solidarity payout or any amount you can afford, for this cause.

5. TWC2

Among one in five people in Singapore are low-wage migrant workers. Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) helps these workers who form a major part of the backbone of Singaporean society and economy. Many low-wage migrant workers have been injured, unpaid and/or abused by employers. With no savings to tide them over the difficult times (acerbated by the coronavirus outbreak), TWC2 depends on the goodwill of their patrons in helping the migrant workers who have no family to fall back on.

6. Disabled People’s Association

DPA has also faced disruption to our fundraising activities, which we rely on to support the training of Inclusion Ambassadors and help develop the inclusive and awareness-raising services they provide. If you have received the solidarity payment from the government and are in a position to help, or can support us with funds in any other way, we are appealing to your generosity to make a donation to our organisation. We are relying on your kindness to help us raise the funds we need to support our Inclusion Ambassador programmes and related services and operations.

The organization supports women who are survivors of human trafficking, sexual exploitations and gender-based violence.

Women, who were just learning to stand back on their feet, are facing immense stress and anxiety, often being the sole breadwinners in their families.

Hope Initiative Alliance (HIA) is working with the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) in Singapore, to provide holistic care to the homeless community. By all standards, the homeless are the worst hit in the coronavirus outbreak. After all, when everyone else retreats into their homes to see out the pandemic, where can the homeless go? As well as economic support from willing patrons, HIA is also inviting in-kind donations including blankets, pillows and towels, to help the homeless community in their hour of need.

9. SHINE Children and Youth Services

SHINE Children and Youth Services provide support to the underprivileged children and youths with learning and socio-economic difficulties, in Singapore. In these challenging times, SHINE has called out to the wider community in a bid to support these children and their families. The organization has planned Grocery Voucher Support, Ready Meals Support and IT Resource Support strategies, all of which require generous donations from patrons.

  As most of us stay safe at home during this circuit breaker, there are many social service agencies working doubly hard to ensure the vulnerable groups that we serve, are not forgotten. However, these agencies are facing multiple challenges now, including sudden and severe loss in manpower as volunteering activities are cut, a loss of fundraising proceeds as events are cancelled and a critical need of technological assistance to enable business continuity. We face an unprecedented challenge before us. Let us count our blessings, stand in solidarity to keep our community intact and emerge stronger. Click link in bio to enable the social service agencies to continue providing critical services to those who need it, especially now. #GiveBackInSolidarity #Community #SGUnited #TheInvictusFund
