No Child Left Behind 2025 Back to list
A brighter future shouldn’t depend on where a child starts in life.
Yet, many children in our community are held back by the circumstances they were born into—not by a lack of ability. A little support can go a long way.
At Filos Community Services, we believe every child deserves an equal chance to succeed. We aim to raise $75,000 to support our Children and Youth Services, which provide essential literacy, tuition, and enrichment programmes.
In Singapore, educational disparities persist. More than 6% of households earn less than $2,000 a month, making it difficult for families to afford academic support or enrichment. Without these resources, children may struggle to keep up.
Take, for instance, Fahmy, a quiet and shy 7-year-old who joined Filos’ Early Literacy Programme (ELP) at the start of 2024. As the second youngest of five siblings, Fahmy was cared for by his grandparents from infancy while his parents juggled multiple caregiving responsibilities. When he returned to live with his family at age six, he was significantly behind in literacy and verbal skills—unable to recognise letters or sound out words.
Through weekly ELP and tuition sessions supported by a dedicated volunteer, Fahmy began to blossom. He gained confidence, learned to read simple stories, and now scores full marks in spelling tests—an achievement that once felt out of reach. His mother proudly shared:
“Fahmy is getting better. Now he can get 10 out of 10 for his spelling in school. He can also do his math homework by himself now!”
You can help rewrite the story for more children like Fahmy, help us build a future where no child is left behind.
