SP Group (SP) has once again demonstrated its commitment to nurturing young minds and supporting families in need by pledging S$1.1 million to KidSTART Singapore. This marks the third consecutive year of partnership between SP Group and KidSTART, with the aim of empowering children from lower-income families through early childhood development programs.
With this latest donation, SP Group’s total contribution to KidSTART Singapore since 2021 has reached an impressive S$3.2 million. The funds will support an additional 2,000 children enrolled in the KidSTART program, providing them with vital educational resources such as digital devices, books, and engaging learning activities.
In addition to traditional learning support, SP Group’s donation will also fuel the launch of “Green Adventures by KidSTART and SP Group,” a groundbreaking initiative focused on instilling sustainability values and eco-friendly habits in children from a young age. This innovative program aims to make learning about environmental conservation fun and accessible, fostering a generation of environmentally conscious citizens.
The official launch of Green Adventures took place today at The Frontier Community Club in Jurong West Central, with Mr. Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for Social and Family Development, Second Minister for Health, and Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs, presiding over the event. Joined by 400 KidSTART parents and children, the launch featured engaging activities, environmental-themed booths, and an excerpt from the KidSTART Sea Adventures play.
SP Group’s ongoing support for KidSTART extends beyond financial contributions. In previous years, the company has provided learning resources and IT tools to aid in child development. Notably, in 2022, SP Group supported the launch of KidSTART Sea Adventures interactive play and KidSTART Stories, promoting early childhood literacy and strengthening parent-child interactions through storytelling.
The collaboration between SP Group and KidSTART has already yielded significant positive impacts, including the successful presentation of the Adventures with Andi play in 2023, attended by 850 KidSTART families.
