Compassion Fund

"The Compassion Fund is a crisis response fund set up for needy students from low-income families in crisis as a result of the death of a breadwinner, a sudden illness or accident in the family. It aims to give early and timely assistance to PREVENT the students’ families from spiralling into poverty or developing other chronic family problems. It provides immediate assistance at the point of need to allow the family, time during the interim, to develop longer term solutions. It is the intent of the Compassion Fund to complement and not replace existing assistance schemes.

The Compassion Fund is also about "Students helping Students", about "Schools helping Schools". Whatever a school raises will be available for use to help their own students in crisis. If in that year, a school does not require the funds, the money will be channelled to other schools where the need is greater. Besides the pride of altruistic giving by their students and the school as a whole, the Fund will ensure that their students in crisis will get the help they need, even if the need is more than the funds the schools had collected."

It's wordy but yes, it's a fund set up by MILK - Mainly I Love Kids especially for students with families who meet with a crisis to prevent them from falling into poverty.

We are looking for schools who are interested in taking the donation tins urgently. Any teachers/principals/school worker interested can drop me a msg here?
