Lunch Box Fund

The Lunch Box Fund is an annual cash gift of the centre to students from needy families. This fund allows primary and secondary school students to redeem lunches at their school canteen. Primary school students are provided S$1 a day and Secondary school students at S$1.50 a day. Once the funds are made available through donations from the public, students are sponsored throughout the academic year. In 2009, Student Advisory Centre's Lunch Box has given awayS$469, 613 to children from lower income families in 81 schools around Singapore.

These children come from families with a household income of less than S$1,500 or less than S$450 per capita household income. Student Advisory Centre works closely with school welfare officers and teachers to identify the children who require support for Lunch Box Funds. Having a good lunch will provide these children with the energy to focus in school and grant them with an equal opportunity to progress out of poverty.
