Why donate to us?

The Welfare Service Society does not receive any funding from the Community Chest of Singapore and depends solely on contribution from the public and the community. Unlike most charities, the Nam Hong Welfare Service Society does not have a huge sinking fund. Currently, the Welfare Service Society’s bank deposits is sufficient to cover the cost only for the next 3 months. Hence, the Welfare Service Society has to constantly struggle to meet operational costs, and the committee members have to work really hard to raise funds just to cover cost for each coming month. More information about the charity and donation can be found at this website www.nhwelfare.org

However, the committee members have never given up hope, and have decided to work even harder in the current difficult economic conditions to continue to provide free medical treatment to the old and needy. This is one of the key reasons the committee members has decided to raise funds through the Charity Run. It is only with the Charity Run that the Welfare Service Society can appeal to more organisations and people out of the community to contribute generously to us, all in the hope, that the Welfare Service Society can continue to provide free treatment to the needy and old.

How will we make use of your donation?
We seek to manage all funds raised as effectively and as transparent as possible. Financial reports can be found at our website www.nhwelfare.org.

We focus on 3 critical aspects of helping the needy to lead a life with basic respect – Medical care, Education, and Food.

Free Medical Care - Currently, the main bulk of the funds raised are used in serving the elderly, sick and needy through Nam Hong Free Medical Centre. With fully utilized staff strength of 6 Physicians and 6 Support Staff, coupled with the rising cost of medicine, Nam Hong Welfare Service Society spent about $500,000/- to run the Free Medical Centre last year to care for 33,000 patients and that is expected to rise even further this year with the increasing number of people seeking help. This translates to an average of $15 as cost for each patient, of which about $7 is used to cover the cost of manpower, and about $5 to cover the cost of medicine. The remaining $3 is spent on the operational cost of running the centre. The Free Medical Centre only receives $2 registration fees each time a patient is treated. The rest of the expenses are borne by Nam Hong Welfare Service Society.

Education - We use your donations to provide bursaries, scholarships mainly to the needy. With education, we hope the next generation of the needy is able to equip themselves to get out of poverty.

Food – We use your donations to provide dry ration to the needy. We distribute about 500 sets of dry rations each year, and seek to do more for the needy, if more funds are available.
