The Welfare Unit in Pergas was established in 2000 with the objective of lifting the financial difficulties faced by the recipients of the financial aids. Over the years, this unit focuses on providing assistance mainly for Asatizah in need, Madrasah students and IPIP students.
Pergas is heartened by the continued trust and support of the Muslim community towards us. Your contribution has helped us in reaching out to those in need through various financial schemes.
The objective of Asatizah Financial Assistance (AFA) is to support Asatizah with low income. We acknowledge the contributions of our veteran Asatizah and it is our priority to ensure that Asatizah’s welfare is well taken-care of as part of our mission in Pergas.
In addition, Asatizah with chronic illness who do not receive ample support from their family are also entitled to assistance from Pergas. We occasionally give out monetary incentives to Asatizah of full-time Madrasah yearly during the month of Ramadan.
Introduced in 2013, the Madrasah Students Adoption Scheme (MSAS) helps our full-time Madrasah students in paying their monthly school fees. Most of these students come from needy families. Pergas assists 72 students annually to ease their family burden.
This financial assistace is offered to needy Singaporean students who are currently pursuing their studies in universities outside Singapore.
Educational Financial Assistance (EFA) is offered to current students at Institut Pengajian Islam Pergas (IPIP) to help them with their outstanding fees.
This ensures that more students are given the opportunity to attend a structured Islamic education.
Asatizah Development and Training Programs (ADT) serve as a platform for Asatizah to discuss current issues involving Islam and Muslims worldwide and their roles in bracing up to it. More details
