Koyo Gives Back - Our Charity Activities in Singapore 2024

Koyo Kaiun Asia Pte Ltd is dedicated to making a positive impact on the communities we serve. We believe it is our responsibility to give back, driven by gratitude for the support we have received from Singapore. Our mission is to help individuals facing challenges such as hunger, illness, natural disasters, poverty, homelessness, or a lack of access to essential resources like water and medical care.

In 2024, we are proud to announce a contribution of S$20,000 to each of five deserving charities.

(1) The KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital – “Premmies Fund”

The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund (TSTSPMF) works with the Ministry of Education, mainstream and special needs schools, youth centres, family service centres, and children's homes to disburse funds to students from low-income families. TSTSPMF helps these children and youths in their social and educational development by enabling them to buy meals in school, pay for transport, or meet other schooling needs. This, in turn, allows these students to focus better in school and worry less about where their next meal will come from.

(3) SingHealth Fund – "Rare Disease Fund (RDF)"
