A Movement of Giving Back

Mandai Wildlife Group is making SG60 more meaningful by offering free park access to social service agencies (SSAs) and their beneficiaries. In partnership with the Young Business Leaders Network (YBLN), the initiative aims to link 60 organisations with 60 SSAs, encouraging contributions through time, resources, or experiences.

More SG60 offers and programmes will roll out throughout the year under the Mandai is Wild About SG umbrella. Visit here for the latest updates.
