Assalaamualaikum and Greetings! 

As Jamiyah Singapore (Muslim Missionary Society Singapore) transcends our historic 90th Anniversary, we have all the reasons to 

rejoice over the past nine decades of serving the community, nation and mankind. However, in modern and competitive Singapore, where 

professionalism, tenacity, and creativity are expected norms of all social service agencies, Jamiyah cannot afford to rest on its laurels. While 

we take pride in the numerous services offered to the public since our establishment, we remain committed to our noble vision, as portrayed 

on the Cover Page of this booklet, ‘Jamiyah Singapore: Serving the Community, Caring for All’. Members of society who are especially close 

to our hearts are those who are vulnerable, underprivileged and less fortunate, whose quiet sufferings must never be left forsaken. 

Hence, in this booklet, while you will be given a glimpse of our long history - including some noteworthy milestones - we would like 

to also showcase a plethora of services that we tirelessly and continuously provide for the general public, irrespective of race or religion. 

You will notice that the range of our assistance scheme is widely diverse and inclusive, encompassing matters such as dakwah (missionary), 

social welfare, education, humanitarian efforts, inter-faith relations, and children, women and youth development. Our Welfare Homes cater 

to the young and old, and our Foodbanks provide food assistance to those in need. Our Education, Child Development and Student Care 

Centres nurture children in early years by instilling values and skills aimed at producing individuals imbibed with confidence, competence 

and selflessness. 

Beyond the vast array of our projects and activities, you will also see the deliverables and outcomes that were engendered. As you 

browse through, data and figures will be presented through easy-to-read infographics. We believe our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and 

supporters rightfully deserve to know how their financial support had benefited and made a difference to our beneficiaries and organisation. 

Here, together with my senior management (Senior Vice-Presidents, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Strategy Officer), and the rest of our 

valued staff and employees, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the above-mentioned individuals, organisations and 

agencies, as well as the government, for the generous monetary contributions and other forms of support to Jamiyah Singapore over the 

years. 

As we prepare for the future, we are fully cognizant of the fact that the demands for social services are bound to increase significantly. 

In preparation for this imminent reality, Jamiyah has already begun its transformation process. On top of recruiting committed and capable 

talents, and digitalising many of our operations, we have also established a ‘Corporate Planning and Strategy Department’. Its main role is to 

guide all of our Departments and Homes to align their activities and goals with the organisation’s declared vision and mission, and adhere 

to the highest standards of service expected of social service agencies in Singapore. 

To all our stakeholders, again, our heartfelt thanks! Your support not only has allowed us to survive for more than nine challenging 

decades but has empowered us to continue to sustain and upgrade our numerous services to the public. With your continuing endorsement 

of our work, we hope to do more in the years to come.

Jamiyah Kindergarten (JK) plays 

a pivotal role in early childhood 

education in transforming children 

to be leaders of tomorrow imbibed 

with noble values and cherished with 

strong qualities to succeed in life. 

The objective and purpose of all our 

3 Child Development Centres are to 

provide quality care and education. 

The children’s developmental needs 

and interests are met through 

creating a conducive environment 

and a progressive curriculum that 

is aligned with the Ministry of 

Education’s (MOE) Nurturing Early 

Learner’s framework (NEL). 

Education is one of 

the pillars of Jamiyah as it 

empowers the community in 

their pursuit for success 

Jamiyah operates Student Care Centres 

at Clementi and Rivervale to support 

working parents with school-going 

children. The children are groomed to 

be confident individuals and contributing 

members of society. 

They are developed to attain their full 

potential - intellectually, physically and 

emotionally - by imbibing important 

universal moral values. 

The purpose is to nurture children 

to be readers as its slogan states 

“Where readers become scholars”. 

Catering to the early childhood 

needs of children at Pre-Nursery 

level to Kindergarten levels, Jamiyah 

Kindergarten provides an ideal 

child-friendly learning environment. 

It employs concept classrooms 

with IT, Science & Mathematics 

appreciation corners to kindle young 

learners's thinking and creative skills. 

It also offers a 4 language approach 

– English, Malay, Tamil 

and Arabic. 

• The Tamil Language Learning 

& Promotion Committee (TLLPC) 

collaborated with Wildlife Reserves 

Singapore Group (WRS) to conduct 

a fascinating programme named 

the Wow Wild Learn (WWL) for 

preschoolers. For 2021, K2 students 

of Jamiyah Kindergarten embarked 

on a WWL project titled “I am a 

Panda Keeper” to explore about 

physical attributes, eating habits and 

lifestyles of pandas.

international youth groups to organise 

more than 12 meetings, seminars,
