Project Awesome: Dare To Dream by Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations
PROJECT AWESOME: Dare to Dream aims to inspire young Singaporeans, especially girls, to dream big, aim high, and live their lives at their fullest potential.
We will do this by bringing to our schoolchildren the amazing stories of the Awesome Women of Singapore – the pioneering women who broke through the boundaries and shattered glass ceilings.
These women helped to shape Singapore. Their stories deserve to be told. Their stories will inspire young Singaporeans to challenge whatever limits they may face, to dare to dream, and to make these dreams come true.

Help Vulnerable Teenage Girls at Gladiolus Place Today by Presbyterian Community Services
As a Home away from Home, we are a residential refuge for teenage girls aged 12 and above. Licensed as a Voluntary Children’s Home by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) in Singapore, we provide a safe and loving family environment for every Girl who walks through our doors.
For those who enter our embrace because of abuse, neglect and the risk of delinquent behaviours, Gladiolus Place gently safeguards the blooming of our Girls, who will one day be women of strength and dignity.
While in our care, they undergo various therapeutic interventions and programmes that seek to journey them through their trauma and into a place of wholeness. In the tender walking, our mission is to restore our Girls back into their families and communities, because we desire to see Every Girl Loved, Every Life Transformed.
