Pertapis

Founded in 1970. PERTAPIS (Islamic Theological Association of Singapore) is an approved charitable organisation registered under the Charities Act. It has been accorded the status of an Institution of Public Character Status (IPC) by the Ministry of Finance, Singapore and a full member of the National Council of Social Services (NCSS).

Our centres have created a positive impact in the lives of the residents from one of hopelessness and despair to a new sense of belonging and hope for the future. We have helped more than 800 poor and needy families, 800 childrens, 6000 troubled teenagers and girls in moral danger, 200 senior citizens and 2100 recovering drug addicts. The extent and varied nature of our activities is well explained in their numbers.

We receive per capital funding from the relevant authority up to 60% of our expenditures. The remaining 40% are made out through public donations and our own self-help fund raising projects.

Today, there is a two-fold increase in the number of people seeking our assistance. New problems have also emerged. Some of these are retrenched parents with children in schools. There is also a growing need to tackle youth delinquency and elderly care. Times may be bad but we should not neglect them altogether. We need your support to continue these services.
