Sustaining Employability of Low-income women & Families (SELF) is a ground-up initiative with the aim to reduce inequalities faced by low-income Singaporean women by bridging opportunities for them to sustain their employability and achieve progressive income growth. Two core themes we believe in are empowerment through community building and knowledge sharing. To this end, we are creating an accessible online platform (mobile app) for them to tap on available resources to sustain their employability. Our goal is to expand the available options for these women so that they have the knowledge to make better decisions in life.
