Wish For Home

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Twenty years have past since Muhammadiyah Association embarked on this journey to manage a Welfare Home for children coming from broken homes. We started with nothing more than a conviction to help children-in-crisis at their time of need. Since then, MWH has grown from strength to strength, and close to 600 children have passed through its gates and benefited from the Home’s comprehensive care
and education programme.

Of course, crucial to MWH success is the strong support Muhammadiyah has received for the past 2 decades – be it from the Ministry of Community Development, Youth & Sports (MCYS), the Courts, other VWOs, schools, individual volunteers and donors, as well as corporate sponsors and foundations. It is this continuous trust and support for the Home that emboldens Muhammadiyah to relocate MWH to Bedok North, at the cost of $2.65 million. Thanks to MCYS which will underwrite 90% of the refurbishment costs, Muhammadiyah needs to raise another $500,000 by the end of 2009. It is an unenviable task, given the context of today’s economy, but we are confident, that with everyone’s support, God willing, this can be achieved.

No contribution is considered too small, be it outright cash, donation in kind, or volunteering your time and effort. Every help we can get is precious, and will go a long way in our endeavour to provide a better
facility, a better programme, a better Home for the children in need under our care. With this move, it will give us more opportunities to extend our services to help children at risk from various backgrounds.
Like us, they too are counting on your support for this Wish For Home project.

Please Help us to help them.
