Home for Good, Singapore is one of the recipients of the President's Challenge 2026
The President’s Challenge 2026 will support two of Home for Good, Singapore's programmes: Buddy for Good and Mentor for Good.
Buddy for Good brings together trained befrienders who journey with foster children and their families—from placement through to reunification. Through initiatives like Kintsugi (developed with Awful Grace), caregivers are supported in building empathy, strengthening relationships, and making decisions with the child at the centre.
Mentor for Good pairs experienced foster parents with those who are new or facing challenges—so that no one walks this journey alone. With this support, we can continue to strengthen families, grow the fostering community, and work towards our vision: 𝘼 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙.
