Success Stories

AWWA, one of the largest multi-service social service agencies in Singapore, has launched a new income stability programme called the Family Empowerment Programme (FEP). The pilot programme aims to further research the needs of families receiving AWWA support services, and provide income stability to these households in chronic poverty with the aim of supporting them to focus on longer-term education, skills-training and employment (ESE) goals for their families.

Trampolene, a research and technology non-profit organization in Singapore, is launching an employment program called Growing Alternate Talent For Engineering Sector (GATES) for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who are less-work ready.

Tri-Sector Associates has partnered with the YMCA to launch the world’s first Social Impact Guarantee (SIG), which will help reintegrate youths-at-risk into society though education or employment. The SIG offers impact-minded donors and government funders a money-back guarantee on their funding. In doing so, it will enable providers to try new innovations, while crowding-in more donations that are focused on outcomes.

Tri-Sector Associates supported the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) and Oxfam Hong Kong in launching Hong Kong's first Pay-For-Success (PFS) project. The project focuses on scaling and optimizing a train-the-trainers model for early childhood education intervention to help Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) kindergarten students improve their Chinese proficiency. By closing this achievement gap, we aim to reduce the poverty and social exclusion issues faced by NCS students in the long run.
