SINGAPORE - Christian charity Guok Foundation donated $100,000 to The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund on Friday, marking its first public donation since its establishment.
Ms Guok was the first local woman to be gazetted as Protector of Women and Girls for Works, which involved the protection of Chinese women and young girls from forced prostitution. She was also involved in the government’s work on the prevention of cruelty to children, and the adoption of children. Every year, STSPMF provides pocket money to about 10,000 children and young people from families whose per capita gross monthly household income is not more than $690.
