Who We Are

Starting The Program

Program Against Child Labour, Pacl is started to raise the awareness of the problem of child labour among students in Singapore. Established organisations and their branches have been set up throughout the world to combat this pressing crime that has gotten worse over the years up till the present day. Living in a generally well-clothed society, many of us have ironically been sheltered from this harsh reality that is plaguing over 250 million children worldwide.

With Pacl, we hope to inform and to evoke students to take a stand against the exploitation and endangerment of children. A mere 30 cents a day from each of us will go a long way in providing educational resources for these children who have been trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty. Short of a miracle, we believe that education is the children's best chance of breaking free.

Our Program To Help The Children

This program is founded in June 2000. It has garnered the support of 40 members and collected S$1140 by year end. We hope to increase membership and to increase awareness of this serious issue to student bodies throughout the country.

To support this cause, you can join our program to make regular donations that you are comfortable with. As a member, you will receive updates on the cause, this program and news from other organisations. To contribute in other ways, you can visit the Web Sites at Links for information on the activities and avenues for support.

Help us help make a difference in these children's lives. It may not be possible to change the world in the near future but we can sure change the world for one. If you have any inquiries or feedback regarding our program or otherwise, please contact us. Your responses are deeply appreciated.

We would like to thank and acknowledge Free The Children - India and Mitesh Mecca's for their online materials. Thank you.
