Sama-sama Shine is the theme of our fundraising campaign this year. We put a local spin on our theme to bring us back to our roots of sharing and doing life as one community.
Kampung means village in Bahasa Melayu. If you lived in a kampung back then, you'd be used to sharing what you had with your neighbours. And they’d have done the same for you. Life in the kampung meant you were never alone - in your highs and lows.
In our work, we strive to be a kampung community for the displaced and disadvantaged. Sama-sama (Bersama), which means Together, emphasises the importance of working together to support the community we're in. This means that you can be part of this kampung too! It takes a kampung to welcome someone home.Beacon registration starts from 20 March 2023.
The campaign will run from 1 May to 31 July 2023.
Online donations can be made from 1 May 2023 onwards.When you donate to a team on their team profile page, your donation will be shared evenly amongst all members of the team. For example, if you give $500 to a team with five members, each member will "receive" $100 from your donation.
Donations made to a team member's profile page will not be distributed amongst other team members.
Whether you choose to make a donation to a team or team member, your total donation will be reflected in the overall amount raised by the team.No, you don’t have to. You can simply share about the cause and why you’re supporting us when in conversation with others, and direct them to make a donation via your profile page if they’d like to do so.
