Tabitha Foundation Singapore

, , • 1 - 10 Employees

Tabitha Cambodia was set up in 1994 by Janne Ritskes. Since then, it has worked with over 4 million Cambodians in the country's poorest communities. Tabitha's philosophy of self-help is designed to promote self-sufficiency and dignity through savings, counselling, and goal-setting programmes. Families typically graduate from Tabitha programmes in five to seven years with food for their children, clean water to drink, shelter and a source of income. More importantly, they would achieve a sense of dignity that allows them to look to the future with hope for their families. Tabitha Singapore was established in 2002 to support the aims of Tabitha Cambodia. Beautiful silk products made by Tabitha and sold worldwide. 75% of all Cambodians still have no access to clean water or a safe place to sleep, and eat only one very basic meal per day. That is why 100% of financial contributions received by Tabitha Singapore are remitted directly to Tabitha Cambodia. All profits raised by the sale of Tabitha silk products are also remitted to Tabitha Cambodia. A small amount of costs are incurred in shipping the products and making them ready for sale. Tabitha Singapore has no paid employees. The board and members work on a voluntary basis. As noted above, the primary goals of Tabitha Singapore are in direct support of Tabitha Cambodia and include: Encouraging and facilitating fundraising to support Tabitha Cambodia Encouraging volunteer house-building teams to work with Tabitha Cambodia Developing a network of schools that support Tabitha Facilitating corporate sponsorship, including team-building programmes Seeking opportunities for Tabitha Cambodia to sell its cottage industry products in Singapore.
