About the Singapore Women’s Association (SWA)

The Singapore Women’s Association (SWA) is a dedicated non-profit and non-government organization with a legacy of service dating back to 1954. Originally founded as the Siglap Girls Club, the association has evolved into a trusted community pillar focused on enhancing the quality of life for women, children, and seniors. SWA is an IPC-listed charity, meaning donations are eligible for tax relief.

The association’s impact is felt through several key community programs:

• Singapore VisionCare Programme: Has provided free eye screenings and spectacles to over 36,000 elderly residents.
• Project Rebuild & Project Taking Charge: Collaborative initiatives that offer workforce integration and life skills to women and children impacted by domestic violence.
• Elderly Outreach: Includes the long-standing Lunar New Year Luncheon, which has brought festive joy to seniors since 1977, and the widespread Laughter Yoga program.
• Miss Singapore Pageant International: A purposeful event where young women undergo months of training and charity work, culminating in the Annual Charity Gala.
