Children’s Day Appeal
Where children rally around communities in need
Since its inception in 1984, the Children’s Day Appeal has stood as an annual beacon for fundraising efforts, advocating for children’s involvement, and rallying substantial support for communities in need.
Aligned with the Ministry of Education’s Values-in-Action Programme, the Children’s Day Appeal encourages preschoolers and primary schools students to embrace compassion, respect, and empathy—values that help shape a brighter future for all.
100% of funds raised through Children Day Appeal go towards empowering the lives of adults with disabilities, children with special needs and youth-at-risk, families in need of assistance, persons with mental health conditions and seniors in need of support.
Who we support - Meet Lucas!
Lucas is an avid dancer and student at APSN Chaoyang School which provides special education, vocational training and employment services for individuals with mild intellectual disability.
Diagnosed with mild intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder from age 2, Lucas has since picked up emotional management and communication skills as well as nifty dance moves through the Autism Structured Programme at APSN Chaoyang.
With the support of his family, teachers, and therapists, Lucas has developed into a helpful, friendly, and respectful boy.

Maha Bodhi School
Maha Bodhi School is thankful for the opportunity to participate in the annual Children's Day Appeal (CDA) to raise funds for the programmes and services it runs.
;
CDA aligns with the Ministry of Education's Values-In-Action Programme, which aims to nurture socially responsible citizens to contribute meaningfully to the community through the learning and application of values, knowledge, and skills.
CDA is a meaningful way for pupils to learn about the importance of their collective action in raising funds to contribute towards building a more inclusive and compassionate society for all children.
Nanyang Primary School
The Children’s Day appeal gave our students the opportunity to promote the well-being of children and youth from low-income families and those with special needs and disabilities in our society through their donations.
Our students were engaged in the class interactive activity that aims to encourage them to help others and inculcate important values of compassion, respect and empathy.
Through participating in this campaign, our students learn to understand that everyone plays a part in making our society a better place and can make a difference in promoting greater equality and social inclusion, which is an important value of the MOE VIA programme.
