S’pore charity taps tailored programmes to prevent inter-generational offending

Ms Juliana Jumadi and her children are among the beneficiaries of NeuGen, a charity to help former offenders and their families.

They are among the estimated 600 children and 300 families who are supported each year by NeuGen, a charity that helps former offenders and their families. The NeuGen support system impacted close to 1,000 children and families in 2023, said President Tharman Shanmugaratnam in his speech at the NeuGen Fund Charity Gala, held at Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, on May 30.

“All the more that we do our part as a village to support them in any way we can, and help them to uplift themselves,” he added. Sharing the real story of a drug-addict father with a drug-addict daughter, and potentially drug-addicted grandchildren, Mr Tay said he hoped stories of intergenerational offending would be “nothing more than just horror fiction” in the not-so-distant future.Salvation Army initiatives allow prisoners to play with their kids, join support groups
