Boosting the Child Development Accounts of vulnerable children
In a partnership with the government, we disburse funds into the Child Development Accounts (CDAs) of vulnerable children to best support their early learning and overall development

WHY CDA TOP-UPS?
Pre-school plays a critical role in laying the foundation for a child's growth, yet some families impacted by economic uncertainty and job losses canāt afford pre-school, even with government aid.
By making an initial deposit into a child's CDA, we help them lighten financial expenses such as pre-school fees and medical bills at Baby Bonus Approved Institutions.
It also enables the child to benefit from the governmentās dollar-for-dollar matching contribution, thereby doubling the number of financial aid available to them.

WHO WE IMPACT
We partnered with MOE and Community Foundation of Singapore (CFS) on a CDA Top-Up programme. Eligible children whose families have a gross monthly household income of S$4,500 or less, will receive S$250 top-up to their CDAs each year for up to three years, as well as Additional Subsidy for their pre-school fees as of July 2020.Ā
This impactful programme was facilitated by the Uplifting Pupils in Life and Inspiring Families Taskforce (UPLIFT), an inter-agency taskforce aimed at enhancing the well-being of underprivileged children.Ā
