You’re no superhero, you’re not a government official, and you’re not a billionaire. Without these qualities, you might’ve thought: “how would I help eradicate poverty? I’m just a regular citizen.” That’s not a problem because helping, big or not, can make a difference. To bring change to the world, here are some volunteer opportunities in Singapore for students, middle-income families, and regular citizens to reduce urban poverty.
- Volunteering to Teach
Helping other people is not always about money. Sometimes, the knowledge you impart to people can make a difference in their lives. For instance, you teach children how to read and write. It opens them to more possibilities in the future. If you find teaching volunteer opportunities, you must sign-up and help a child.
- Sponsor a Child’s Education With Friends
Sponsoring a child alone can cost you more money! Hence, you can gather your friends to contribute to the overall amount. As such, you’ll be able to reduce social inequality in Singapore by allowing someone to study.
- Donate School Supplies
For sure, there are notebooks, pens, or bags you won’t need at the end of the school year. The better way to reuse them is to donate school supplies to the poor. Better yet, find volunteer opportunities to accept donations and give them directly to the community.
- Start a Campaign
You can use social media to spread awareness about poverty and its effect on people. Start a campaign that can educate people about the ways they can reduce urban poverty through volunteering opportunities and donations.
- Vote Deserving and Compassionate Leaders
In Singapore, living under the poverty line is a problem even though the country is rich. See, no matter how progressive the country is, there would still be people who suffer from poverty. Hence, vote for compassionate government officials to help the rich, the middle-class, and the poor.
